First of all -a Merry Christmas to all who celebrate it.
I've had some time to dig into this game a bunch since I've been on a hiatus from Frostgrave with the Kids. I do like it alot. I love the narrative nature it creates and while I was somewhat skeptical on some of the rules at first, when I actually played them out I ended up feeling they are nice fit to what the game is trying to accomplish, a different beast for sure then what I'm used to. I go into great detail on the blog about my first game , its basically a "blow by blow" . with lots of pictures. This is just the first two turns, I plan on doing several more these type reports for this game with various factions and scenarios in the next month or so ...

please let me know what you think, and if you've played the game IF I have screwed any rules up...
Peace and Good Beer to you!

lovely looking game - and fun to read your AAR
A few rules clarifications
Fate and activations - it costs TWO fate to purchase an activation
All Activations, including those bought by Fate must be placed before activating your first model
Leader Activations. When you activate a model with Leader or Mob Leader simply place the extra activation tokens alongside the chosen models, this is a free action, then finish the Leaders two actions. The leaders activated models can then be activated in what ever order you want, even after other models have activated (as long as its in this turn). Leader activations are just like normal activations
Adventure tokens require a special action of reveal, moving twice to reach one means you can not flip it over until next turn.
Also I agree that some weapon combo's don't add up - like your axe wielding ogre - as the extra 5GP for the Axe doesn't make sense compared to it's Rend attack.

Glad you're enjoying the game. We really love Otherworld! Great figures and terrain, by the way!
-
Outstanding, I very much enjoyed it and look forward to more.

Very nice report that gives a good feel how the rules work. I've been thinking to pick up this rule set and your "blow by blow" description has given me a better idea how the game would play.
Nice looking village, who makes the two story building with the balcony?

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it, I find these walk thru's of the game are fun to do and really teach you the rules by the time your done.
The building you mention is one of mine, inspired by the awesome stuff from Tabletop World, its a scratch build I did in 2013 . Its foundation starts with Hirst Arts blocks, then a variety of materials for the upper section.
my original blog post on it is here
http://plasticlegions.blogspot.com/2013/02/merchant-house.html (http://plasticlegions.blogspot.com/2013/02/merchant-house.html)
appreciate the interest.
-
Thanks for sharing such a great AAR and pictures of your board.
-
Brilliant. I was looking forward to reading though the second half. Lovely AAR and definitely helped to weaken my resolve to buying the rules. ;)
-
Great post and very well presented. Lots of inspiration!
-
Great post, beautiful table and minis. Love the green giant (Ogre).
-
great finish, thanks for posting and look forward to the next one. Love how the goblins got away - sneaky buggers!
-
Thanks for that. It's really useful to have a detailed run through of the game rules.
The town looks great as well.

Thanks for the report, it seemed very deadly! Can you comment about how long a model can be expected to survive in an average game? Was there a significant difference between weaker and tougher models?
Also it seems like there may have been a few rules errors... I was under the impression that you can only Set Traps once per encounter and Activations cost 2 Fate points, not 1...
Edit: Just read part 2 and saw you caught those issues! To answer your question, Otherworld Skirmish calls a single game an "encounter," so no, your Thief can only use the Set Traps ability once per game. The weird naming system in the rulebook threw me off at first... When they say "faction" they mean "your warband," but everyone else on Earth thinks of faction like "the Drow race" or "the Undead Empire."
Part 2 brought up some other rule questions though... It seems there ar several moments where your adventurers attack three times (particularly the constable and the warrior when they charge). How did they get three attacks? I'm seeing the first action to move into melee (with a free attack for charging) and the second action for a normal attack... That should be only two attacks, right..? I thought the only way to get a third attack out of any model is the rage ability (which, along with luck and dodge, might be the best ability in the game).
Also, there's no need to buy extra Activations with Fate points at the beginning of the turn; rather, this should be done by each player at the beginning of their respective action phases (before placing all the activation tokens).

Hi Galadrin, thanks for commenting!
I think I am square on the Set Trap thing, Encounter = per game..makes the ability nowhere as useful IMO- I may house rule that in my own games with additional uses perhaps for more gold. As far as survivability, I think models are relatively durable it is a D6 game where for the most parts hits and damage are 50% accurate...like other similar games the Defense stat is absolutelykey to sticking around , as well as multiple hits. The stock legend characters seem very tough, let alone the "suped up" one that are allowed. (my next game pits 2 Legends and 2 Companions against a host of nasty monsters we will see how they do!) Things like the Berserkers Def 2, with 1 hit died easily, even Goblins Def 3 with the Shield ability have better chance to stick around although in this game they didn't
Part 2 brought up some other rule questions though... It seems there ar several moments where your adventurers attack three times (particularly the constable and the warrior when they charge). How did they get three attacks? I'm seeing the first action to move into melee (with a free attack for charging) and the second action for a normal attack... That should be only two attacks, right..? I thought the only way to get a third attack out of any model is the rage ability (which, along with luck and dodge, might be the best ability in the game).
Hmm, I read "charge" as you get a "free" attack...so implying that attack is additional to the normal attack you receive from a single action. So with one action, when you charge. You get a Free attack at -1 to hit and then your regular attack, Third attack is from the second action, IF you'll notice in part one when I was dealing with the Berserkers and Rage, they got a further additional attack with the won the rage roll off...meaning they had three attacks from in the 1st action. I mention in Part I during the Berserkers early turns where I had either forgotten to take the second action in One case or just didn't use in another in turn (deciding to stay put)
IF the author meant (which they might have, I am just saying this how I am interpreting it) for a charge to be a single action where your single attack is at -1 to hit, there would be no incentive to charge.
So in the end I read it as if you "charge", you receive 3 attacks if you use both actions, If the character has the "rage" ability there is the potential for Four!
Also, there's no need to buy extra Activations with Fate points at the beginning of the turn; rather, this should be done by each player at the beginning of their respective action phases (before placing all the activation tokens).
Yep I got cleared up on that after I played Part I as well, I just bought them at top of the turn in part 2 as I am playing both sides..so it was just easier...I'll lay it out correctly next write up!, Thanks.

One of the differences between 7th Voyage and Otherworld is Charging. With Otherworld the attack is penalised but you are allowed to attack without spending another action.
As you only get two actions moving into combat costs an action so you'd only get to attack once. Without the Free attack those who initiate melee would be at a disadvantage, and those already in melee can make two attacks. So the free attack (at -1) is there not to penalise too much getting into the fight first.
So you move (get the free attack) and one action then get a second action.
Having played both I prefer Otherworld's take on things

I do see what you are saying, I'm used to other games where a charge constitutes a move into combat and an attack as a single action, breaking it down to specific single actions , move into combat, (1st action) and the attack (2nd action), it make more sense..where'd you'd normally move into combat and get a single attack, by charging you get now two, one being the listed Free one at -1. I'm adding an extra attack to process.
Although in practice that does seems to play pretty well, :)
I'll update this for my next round..
-
Well your setup and painting skills are phenomenal; I can't wait to see the next installment!
-
Looking forward to the next installment.

Looking forward to the next installment.
Me too!
Old Coast, one thing to consider in your upcoming legends versus monsters game...the way morale works strongly favors companions and legends. You're only allowed a morale roll if you have a legend or companion. So if, instead, you have, say, a dragon and a bunch of goblin or kobold minions, a viable strategy is to ignore the dragon and attack the kobolds. If you can kill 1/3 or 1/2 of them you are guaranteed victory.
The solution is to either house rule that any minion over, say, 25 gold counts as a companion for morale purposes, or to add a companion to the monster forces (like a goblin wizard or whatever).

Hey guys, Part I of the next installment is up, I should have part 2 posted before its back to work Monday...Happy New Year!
-
lovely looking game! that scenario would work well for solo play too
I agree that some of the profiles need reviewing for cost - I hope that the Minion Manual includes updated profiles and an errata, thanks for posting
-
Very cool, love the Hirst dungeon. I third the weird gold costs, although I'd note that in the case of the Giant Spider the high cost is probably because the model has mutliple hits and Venom is a great attack class. The Web ability looks weak, but it is somewhat useful if you mob a single victim with several Giant Spiders... The first throws down the web and the rest of the attacks are much easier to hit. Web also soaks up one of the enemies actions, so it is a fairly easy way to deny the opponent the full chance to attack back. Still, nine times out of ten you will be going for Venom instead of Web.
Other weird costs include Orcs vs Hobgoblins. The latter is 75% the cost of the former and is otherwise identical, except the Orc has Brutal (best of 2d6 to wound) and Unwieldy (cannot charge) and the Hobgoblin has Onslaught (reroll to Hit) and Thrust (best of 2d6 to hit large/massive). I think the Hobgoblin is the clear winner in that match up, especially against large opponents. It's also kind of odd that there is no option for Orcs to take shields, even though nearly every Otherworld Orc is modelled with one (although I do understand that this option would clash with the two-handed weapon rules and potentially make Orcs too tough).
-
Another nice report. :)
Looking forward to seeing how the battle with the boss goes.
-
Brilliant! :-*
-
I can't wait to see how the fight goes with the behol- erm eye tyrant.
I also really liked how you based the spiders so they're climbing walls.
-
Finally got some time to read your review and it was great fun. Looking forward to part two. Well done :D
-
A good read for part one, I do like a good dungeon crawl.
-
Have to say, I love how space-efficient this game is. It makes collecting terrain and building a board quite reasonable for a small apartment and a grad student's budget.

Brilliant stuff. :D
Great report. Looking forward to the next one. :D
-
great fun thanks for taking the time to post.
two quick comments, Great Strength - you need to spend your first action doing this to gain the STR bonus for your attack, and Wandering Monster - the defender can (max 3 times) sacrifice any Adventure Token to bring on a wandering monster (on a 4+ if I remember correctly) so your Beholder could have tried to call support rather than wait for the heroes to flip the tokens.
With regard the main fight, a 100 GP creature v's two legends and two companions (about 170 GP worth) would be tough for the denizens, remember that Legends equate to high level D&D characters. That said as OW used d6 it means that lucky rolling can have a HUGE impact on the game with low level minions serving against the odds and heroes or villains dying from slight injuries like the crossbow bolt that killed the beholder.
thanks again for posting, your dungeon looked fab
-
Well done! I found myself rooting for the eye tyrant...

After reading those I'm seriously wanting to have a go at this myself.

Very nice dungeon!

jolly good read - loved how quick some of the characters were dispatched
it's hard to guide the points values with small games as there is so much luck involved (the nature of d6 based games), you could play the same game and get the opposite result

While I have a new battle report coming, its taking awhile to complete. In the meantime. I've finally finished building an Inn -so my Otherworld and Reaper Adventurers have somewhere to relax while waiting to be devoured by Purple Worms.

Wow , I cant believe I havent updated this thread in a year!, too many sci fi projects/games I guess
Here are more buildings and terrain for my fantasy set up, for Otherworld Skirmish and some homebrew rulesets.
I have a new batrep coming here soon, but wanted to add some of the buildings, I have been working on the last year.

This is very impressive. I love Otherworld figures. They are the reason I started working on a Fantasy skirmish/dungeon crawl project. You will see the same GW necromancer animating the dead and menacing adventurers in my dungeon.

Nice pics, and good to see some painted terraincrate terrain. Need to get on with some of mine....

Blimey, those staircases down into the dark. That is some ominous stuff right there! I absolutely loooove your setup! If I ever end up in a big enough house, I am sure to do something similar! :D
-
Beautiful table. Very inspiring.
+1 :-*

How is Otherworld for solo gaming? Is there any sort of AI mechanic for monsters and baddies?
-
There is no official Solo mechanic discussed in the rules, however with the
Adventure Card system and way the game handles 1wandering monsters. You can easily setup a random dungeon crawl against a group of adventurers . You will have to roll initiative ,distribute fate and roll dice for both sides thou.

Great miniatures and terrain, cool storytelling! Looking forward to the followup!

How does the game handle wandering monsters that would make it solo-friendly? Do wandering monsters have some sort of AI rules?
-
No AI. its just a random deployment via adventure cards mixed with other events like treasure, traps etc,,,it doesnt do what your looking for but it can fake it OK
its definitely not developed as a solo game, if you go back to report I did a way back called "burn baby burn" I played a solo game when the opposing faction was deployed as a wandering monsters in a dungeon crawl, so I didnt know what or when I going to get hit with what ever. but once the bad guys are on table you have to do everything for both sides

Your stuff is awesome! I've recently started playing Otherworld Skirmish as well and have been really impressed with the rules. I hope they come out with an expansion sometime.

Okay, good to know! I'm really interested in Otherworld - I understand it's based off an iteration of the 7TV system? But I'm currently bereft of a gaming group, so I'm focusing on games with solo/co-op mechanics at the moment. Thanks for the answers!
