A Sellswords Adventure in Bogland
« on: 09 February 2025, 03:32:08 PM »
Ross and Ian came over to play through the first game in my Bogland mini campaign. This was inspired by the brilliant (and weird) Boglanders created by Curtis at Ramshackle Game. I picked up the entire range as a Kickstarter and thought that they deserved a setting of their very own. https://grahamsgaming.blogspot.com/2025/02/sellswords-in-bogland-game-1.html

Reading the first encounter summary was very entertaining.  I am glad they learned from their experience.

I have had a campaign running in my own world of Aumera for a number of months now.

Travel and quests are generated pretty randomly then I build the battle based on that.

Generally works out fine, have only had to reset and rethink once in about 12 games.

I use William Silvester's The Solo Wargamer book for distances, detailed map features places of interest.

Then a series of random dice rolls to ascertain opportunities and threats at each given location as the party arrives.

Use a few random table books to generate potential jobs and then a dice voting system to choose whether to do them or not.

Finally set up playing table and terrain using cards as per The Solo Wargamer.


It sounds complex but is actually very easy.

At some point I might post up a sequence so people can see how it works.


Edit: apologies Graham for stealing your thread.

Fun read, and your adaption of Bogland and its weird inhabitants is very interesting. Makes me eager to start my own games of SS&SS!
