Strange Aeons mini campaign part I: "Supplies"
« on: October 11, 2012, 12:28:38 PM »
Spent the whole Sunday down in Thomas bomb shelter which serves as his "man-cave" and we played a Strange Aeons mini campaign spanning over 3 scenarios, using some of Thomas awesome cavern terrain which we never play on. I will post part II and part III two days apart from each other.

I was too busy playing to take detailed notes but I will try to summarize each scenario as accurately as possible. We also used the "Twisted fate deck" in all 3 scenarios as it adds a much needed layer of random events to the rules and gameplay experience.

The story so far...

Sent from Arkham to investigate the troubled countryside and especially alarming reports from the hillside caverns, a Threshold team arrives at the scene. Agent Stotzfus, the leader, accompanied by agents Woodrow and Elmer. Tagging along is also a persistent local Antiquarian that is certain that the caverns are filled with old smuggler treasures.

Check the rest of the AAR on my blog:

BEAUTIFUL TERRAIN & MINIS...what more could anyone want? At this early hour, the paucity of narration is not a factor for moi; a lack of lip moving makes taking in the LOVELY photos easier.

Thanks guys glad you like it :)

No we just went with the regular core rules, it worked out well. Though I guess you could add additional rules for darkness and having to use lanterns and such to enhance the game further.

Lots of things you could do here... Resolve check if model is on their own/no friendlies in LOS, treat parts of the board as Scenes of Horror, simply add +1 to all Threshold Resolve checks in the tunnel system for claustrophobia/atmosphere, etc. I'm not starting a whole thread about rules here just saying that good terrain= good opportunity to specific, fun things with the rules.

Again, great work!
