I finally got to play my first game of RoSD and I have to admit that I'm hooked. I wasn't sure what to expect and felt a bit weird playing a game by myself, but I really enjoyed it. A big part of playing games for me is to take photo's and write up narrative AAR's for my blog and RoSD provides plenty of opportunity for this. As a result I decided to start a dedicated blog to follow the adventures of my ranger.
Please have a look. I hope to keep the blog up to date frequently and post detailed good quality narrative adventures. Cheers

Great write up, it's made me want to dig the rules out and give it a go :)
-
A great sounding game you had there. I expect we will all be playing a lot more games like this over the next few months!

Yeah... Give it a go. I was very pleasantly surprised.

I think you might be right. Seems like I got started just at the right time!
-
Cool, I just got the pdf and am planning to get stuck in soon (I am going to modify the combat rules for my own use, though, as the randomness of the Frostgrave/Rangers system does not sit well with me, but otherwise I expect to get a lot of fun out of it).
-
Beatiful pics! Is the scenery made by yoursef or is from any range?

Thanks. I made all the terrain over a period of years.

Beautiful minis and terrain, and a great report. Thanks for posting.

Wonderful stuff. I love ROSD
-
Nice stuff! I am a longtime lurker here and terrain builder as one of my hobbies. I really like Frostgrave, so I think Rangers of Shadow Deep is going to be my next go to game. Thanks for the pics! I will be posting up a thread soon with some of my stuff, though I gotta admit, i'm nowhere near as good a painter as most of you guys.
-
Thanks for he kind responses folks. I'm really enjoying this game and looking forward to playing it a lot more often. I could easily play it one game after the other and get through the missions pretty fast, but I'd rather take my time, set things up, play the game, take lots of pics & do a good write up.
As it is, here is a link to scenario #2 of the first mission: https://hwyllarosd.blogspot.com/2020/03/the-infected-trees.html

Thanks for the inspiring AAR's.
-
Beatiful AAR. I expect to play this mission tomorrow afternoon!
-
Great stuff. I like the way you have painted the figures - nice bold colours. They are perfect for a fantasy skirmish - they really "pop" and look great on the table.
The large tree is impressive, I presume you made this yourself or is there some company making large fantasy trees?
-

Thanks very much. I enjoy writing them.

Thanks. I made that tree about 10 years ago. It's made from a fast curing auto putty on a wire armature with a greenstuff outer layer.

Mission 2 from the main rule book - The Beacon Tower.
Again it was a really enjoyable time playing the game. I never thought I'd enjoy solo gaming so much. This was tougher than the last game and somewhat more thrilling. As usual I've done a full AAR with lots of pics on my dedicated website:

Thanks. I had the basic pieces & I threw them together hoping for the best.
Looks like a brilliant game!
Thank you. It was a bit of a nail biter for a while.

The 'busy' table making use of different sorts of terrain looks absolutely fabulous! :-*
I am not in lockdown (working in one of those 'essential' fields), but my wife and daughters are all working from home, and it actually leaves me less time/space for the hobby than normal so that I am not making much progress, and that makes it ever more so important to see inspirational stuff like this! :)

Thanks Argonor. I always have plenty of time as I was retired early in life by the military. But I have a bit more time than usual and I need to keep busy.

Enjoying these write ups, keep them coming.
Did you make the river? If so would you walk me through the process.

I did. It's made from 12" vinyl floor tiles with a "stone" texture. Cut the tiles into uneven 3" strips. The tiles have paper backing so I used a set of dividers with a lead in each tip to draw the lines. Cut them out. Paint them. Lighter on the edges and darker in the center. Two coats of gloss varnish. For the banks, use brown caulk and put a bead of the caulk on on the edge of each section and press some stones/gravel into it. Add flock. The texture on the tiles gives it a ripple effect. Each tile will give you 3' of river, so you can have a 12' river for about $5 (plus paints, caulk etc.)

Excellent, thanks.

I played Scenario II o the the second mission - The Beacon Tower - The Lower Levels. It was a tough game for my little party of companions. But now the survivors are ready to climb the stairs to the top of the tower and scenario III.
There's a full AAR and a lot of pics on my blog here: https://hwyllarosd.blogspot.com/2020/04/mission-2-tower-part-1.html

Nice reports.
I am hesitating between Rangers and Sellswords....
Who make the card (platisc?) buildings and scenery you use?
-
I am hesitating between Rangers and Sellswords....
Do both - SS&SS is a great game with a more old-school RPG-vibe to it. And you can largely use the same minis.
-
So my ranger and his companions have finished the second mission in the basic rules. I found this one to be a good challenge to set up and it was a challenge to play. Once again I really enjoyed it and can't wait to move on to the next mission.

I am presuming most of the scenery is cardboard. It is extremely effective. I love your miniatures too.
Thanks for posting on the main Fantasy Board and not on that evil, smelly Frostgrave Board ;D

This is excellent - thanks for posting these. I am now wondering whether I should add Rangers to the various other projects I have started or picked up again during our current hiatus...

It is mainly card terrain. If done well it can look really good. And yeah... I forget that the Frostgrave board exists. I rarely look at it because I just basically forget to look.

Thanks Severian. This is the first solo game I've ever seriously played (except for some regular rules that I've played by myself once or twice) and I really like the games. I'd definitely recommend it.
-
Gave in and downloaded the rules. Now I'm messing about with terrain on a 3'x3' section of my games table and rummaging in boxes of half-painted figures for the makings of the first scenario. Oddly enough, I don't seem to own any actual zombies. Plenty of things to stand in for them, though.
Great fund of ideas and inspiration on your blogs so thanks again for taking the time to post them.

Great battle reports. Really enjoyed the charactors journey

Brilliantly inspirational thread! Thanks for sharing, gives me food for thought on trying the game out.

Go for it! I had trouble with zombies. I do have a lot of post-apoc zed's and I was going to use a few but I found a pack of Reaper Bones zombies in a shop and that pretty much convinced me to start playing.

Thanks very much Swordisdrawn. I'm a frustrated, wanna be, fantasy author. Unfortunately my writing skill sits at about D&D adventure level.
Brilliantly inspirational thread! Thanks for sharing, gives me food for thought on trying the game out.
Take the plunge. You know you want to, Rick. :D

So my ranger, Hwyll and his companions have descended into the very heart of the Shadow Deep. This is the last of the into-missions and once again I think it was a great game.

I played the second part of Mission 3 from the RoSD rule book. This was a tough one and I can only imagine that the next one is going to be even tougher. But, once again it was a really enjoyable game. I never thought I could get so much enjoyment from a solo game and I'm really glad I got into RoSD.
Here's a link to the full AAR: https://hwyllarosd.blogspot.com/2020/04/mission-3-into-swamp.html

Thank you. I've been wracking my brain to get the best out of the terrain I have for these games.

Mission 3 - The Last Stand- from the RoSD rule book. This was a big game with more figures than usual and twice as many turns. So the AAR on the blog is pretty long this time with dozens of photo's. Once again it was a great game with plenty of nail-biting action.

Thank You. I really enjoy the game and doing the write up's afterward.

Thanks Sevarian. The next one will be a bit of mash-up but we'll see how it goes.
Really have enjoyed your posts! It is a great game.

Thanks LoM. I wish I had discovered it earlier.

My rangers needed to get out of the Shadow Deep so I wrote a scenario for them. I wrote it so that it would tie up the loose ends left by The Last Stand scenario. I had one character badly hurt and the opportunity to take up a couple of new ones. The scenario was loosely based on the Guarded Bridge scenario from the rule book... Only harder.

Thanks guys. I'll be getting back to RoSD soon. I've been concentrating on another project for the past month or so but it's almost done.

I've just discovered this thread and I must say it is a joy to read. Wonderful write-ups and excellent pictures. Thanks for the adventure.

Thanks to Dan55 for dredging this up. I thoroughly enjoyed it as well! Thanks for sharing, Melnibonean!

Thanks guys. I got a bit lost after finishing the original campaign and I've been meaning to get back. I'll be starting up the character again soon.

It's has taken me a while but I'm getting back to RoSD. I've been prevaricating for some time as to where I want to go with this game. I wasn't sure if I wanted to start a new character or keep going with the same party... What mission should I do next?
In the end I decided to keep it simple: Same characters and I'll do Burning Light because it's all in the deluxe rule book.
So Hwyll the Elfin Ranger and his band of trusty companions have returned to the Shadow Deep solve the mystery of St Emelia's Convent and to retrieve the Decanter of Burning Light!

Game two of the Burning Light campaign. I chose to go with scenario C - The Courtyard. The table for this one is fairly bare and not really interesting. I made a fountain for the centerpiece but other than that it the table is a bit dull. I might have to break out the Frostgrave terrain for the next scenario (or at least find something more interesting.)

Okay... I'm up to game #3 of The Burning Light mission. This time I chose to do The Herb Store scenario. It turned out a bit different to what I was expecting but it was still an enjoyable game.

Thanks. I'd prefer some variation in the terrain but... The scenarios are all set in the same location. What more can I do?
