RAVENS OF ALLADORE - A Rangers of Shadow Deep Battle report Blog!

[Raven of Alladore]

Hello everyone, Tom here from The 'Ravens of Alladore' Blog!

Since it's release in 2018, my wife and I have been playing through Joe McCullough's excellent Rangers of Shadow Deep game. When we started playing, we decided to write up our games as an ongoing series of picture heavy, narrative battle reports.

I've always posted links to the Blogs on the official Rangers Facebook group, but was encouraged to share them here for other people to read by some of the members on there!

You can read our ongoing series in order here:

Thanks Jack, it’s been a real Labour of love typing up so many games. Probably the longest running campaign of anything that we’ve ever played and no plans to end soon!

Have you got a Blog going as well, when you say ‘you had this going on too’? I’d love to see it if so!!

[Raven of Alladore]

Love this blog 

Thanks for the kind words!! Had you seen us before?!

[BZ]

Very nice blog with great story telling!

I do have a blog, but my apologies, I thought you were user @BZ. I read your post on my phone and only recognized the avatar. That doesn't make your blog any less impressive...well done!

[Grumpy Gnome]

Busy reading my way through your blog. Great figures, great scenery and excellent prose. This will keep me going for a few days - I hope to read many more of your rangers' adventures going forward, so I have "followed" you.
