It seems like the other games published by the same author had expansions in the pipe almost as soon as the corebook dropped. Frostgrave 2nd ed, Stargrave, and Oathmark all have supplemental books.
Is there anything in the cooker for Silver Bayonet?
-
I noticed that too.
Silver Bayonet is way more interesting than Stargrave, and won more awards to boot. lol
I have a feeling Osprey was not as confident with the sales numbers, and were slower to get on the expansion band wagon. Maybe once Stargrave has runs its planned course, we will see some more?
-
From what I've seen, or rather not seen, it looks like it has died a death. The amount of postings about SB is much less than most other games from Osprey. The initial take up was good but with no immediate follow-up it may be hard to revive interest
-
I hope that the game finds a second wind, although I'm a bit dismayed at the drop-off in posts. I believe the chief lack is in scenarios. The ones in the book are all sort of samey, except for the solo ones. I'm thinking perhaps that a better sense of horror would be had by having side-by-side tables with each being a solo scenario - one unit versus the monsters - and each player runs their unit on one table and has carte blanche control of the monsters on the other.
I will be running a home-made scenario on Wednesday for my club, with British and French patrols entering a woods in the Vendee hunting to rescue/apprehend a British spy. Unbeknownst to the patrols, the woods contain lots of surprises - a hungry Ogre (aka hobgoblin), a group of Vendean rebels (bandits to the French but neutral to the British unless fired upon), and finally an octet of Goblins intent on making sure no humans make off with the Crown of the Goblin King which is concealed in a hawthorn bush next to the Stone Circle.

Perhaps an Old West variant:

What about wynonna Earp Wild West themed with black powder pistol in modern times .
I fancied doing a monster blood tattoo themed sliver bayonet , with beastmen heads on kroot bodies for nicker monsters.

Isn't that to most intents and purposes Dracula's America though?

I was about to say exactly the same thing!
-
I didn’t buy into the specific rules for SB, but man do I love the figures and the whole mashup idea. It has become our RPG genre of choice. Now if I could just find more women in Napoleonic period garb!
Bad Squiddo, heads up!
-
North Star have just announced another wave of minis so can’t be that dead surely?
-
The official page on FaceBook is still going strong with lots of activity.
-
Does the designer show any indication that there are more venues for updating information than Facebook, which many folks avoid on principle? The game is dead on TMP, dead on BGG, and on life support here - nor has there been a glimmer of anything other than the occasional figure release through official channels. I like the game very much and want it to stay alive, but they need to step up their game.
-
At the rate SG is coming out with material, it is clear that the writer's focus (and possibly their publisher's) is there.
I find the Silver Bayonet's rules to be much more interesting and innovative than Stargrave, but I also thought Ghost Archipelago was a better ruleset than Frostgrave. Look which one is way more popular and you get an idea about what I know about people's interests!
lol

Have you looked at Black Pyramid? https://www.blackpyramid.co.uk/collections/regent-z

Wargames Atlantic is currently designing a set of Napoleonic Camp followers which I suspect will be mostly, if not all, women. However, how long it will take to get into production is anyone's guess.

I have been advocating for that set for quite some time and was pleased to see it go from an April Fools joke to, at the very least, a production design.

Very interesting! It seems the cry of 'make it so' has been heard.

I do want some of the Black pyramid figs but often the are oos. The WA plastic box could be what i really want. I just bought a box of some Frostgrave plastic female wizards which i hope to modify with a flintlock or two. Some of the garb might be green stuffed into regency period, but this box will save me a step…any ideas when it will be available?

I would guess some time in 2023 but that really is a wild guess. It is impossible to predict WGA launch dates as some sets have been in design longer than others that have already been released. The good news is production is done “in house” in the USA so should be quicker than it was in the past, when they relied on production in China.
-
I thought I saw that Wargames Atlantic were going to do a box of Spaniards similar to their British Riflemen. Have they come out already and I missed 'em?
EDIT: here's the post I saw - https://wargamesatlantic.com/blogs/news/work-in-progress-napoleonic-spanish

It might be worth emailing Plack Pyramid with what you want, I have found them very helpful in the past (but not the speediest at replying).

Osprey posted a short rundown of TSB on Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/p/CiApe_OoKT_/
At the end they mention two possible expansions to be released next year - one about Carpathia and one about Canada.

Ooh, two very good choices!
-
Indeed. I have some log cabins that could be used in a Canadian or US scenario.

Excellent news there Sarmor. :P
-
Looking forward to some North American action......War of 1812 with Goblins anyone?
-
The Carpathian expansion is coming first, on 23rd May: https://www.amazon.com/-/en/Joseph-McCullough/dp/1472858786

Figures for Wendigo hunting with Northstar Indians just going onto my work table now!
-
Kinda bummed they didn't go with something like Egypt or Arabia, but I can see why they'd want to do America.
Funny thing is, I did up some Americans for fun, but they're US Marines and Navy because that was the only American unit that made sense could be in Europe, but they wouldn't make sense on the American frontier, lol.
-
Ah, but there was considerable naval action on the Great Lakes between Britain and the U.S., so your sailors are not really out of place in a Northwest setting.
-
Lake Champlain is one of the claimants to birthplace of the American Navy in 1775. Marines fought in the Battle of Sacket's Harbor defending that naval base on Lake Ontario in 1813, and the Battle of Lake Champlain in 1814 was a joint Army & Navy engagement.
-
I plan on fielding some Frenchmen in Canada…just a few sent to raise an insurrection but who got caught up in supernatural problems. If we can envision a French expedition to Ireland, Scotland or Wales, i don’t see too much of a stretch getting small groups of Frenchmen into Canada, New Orleans or the Caribbean. Northstar has some decent French sailor packs and i think the Dracula’s America voudou cultists could make a fine unit for SB. i think they only have a few anachronisms in their kit and a kitbashed flintlock pistol might be an easy fix for a six shooter.
US forces in Europe? i could see a supernatural investigator group landing in Spain or France easy. These guys are fighting a greater struggle and go where the fiends are. someone read it in the stars…
-
Well… we have Europe (core book), Carpathians, Canada, Egypt, and now Italy.
I guess this game has had a great future since this thread was originally posted.

Just been reading this thread with some bemusement about how it was dying lol ;D

The reports of its death are greatly exaggerated ;)

Look's like a good excuse to add a few Neapolitans to my collection :D

So we have Italy and Egypt coming, any word on the possibilities for South America, Danes/Swedes/Finns, Ireland and UK, West Indies, Greece/Ottoman Empire, or India for settings?

No word on any of these as yet, and probably not for some time if at all. Having said that, I have purchased a few Greeks just on the off chance :D

Essentially, the game got a little tangled up in my employment with Osprey. It was the last project I did as an 'employee', and I wasn't sure if I would continue with the game afterwards. It took awhile, but Osprey convinced me, and I convinced them to recruit some other help, so now the game has quite a bright future!

Will any of these new volumes expand into a more RPG like treatment of plot, characterization of recurring NPCs, and setting? I have yet to see even the first supplement yet to judge (I plan on purchasing a pdf soon), but I would really prefer some heavily fleshed out campaigns rather than just a slightly different version of non-refereed skirmish scenarios with some new monsters. will any volume expand on the spells available to players?

I, for one, am very happy that the game is both continuing with you and that it has grown to the place where it will continue without you as well. I enjoyed Ash's contributions in Canada and I'm eager to see what you have cooked up for Egypt and what is waiting for us in Italy

I was looking at some Black Scorpion pirates today and thinking, "Silver Cutlass..." Am I crazy?
