Two dungeon crawl adventures using Dwarven Forge & TSR Battlesystem Skirmishes

[m4jumbo]

Two Con of the North dungeon crawl adventures.

2013 is the second year I have run a dungeon crawl adventure using Dwarven Forge terrain, classic miniatures and the TSR AD&D Battlesystem Skirmishes rules.  For those who aren’t familiar with them, the Battlesystem Skirmishes rules are based on 2nd Edition AD&D and simplify several of the role playing game mechanics to make for a more streamlined miniatures game.   For these scenarios, I include the AD&D game stats on the character cards so we can incorporate some of the more detailed role playing game mechanics when a player wants to do so.  So the scenarios play like a miniatures game with lite role playing aspects.  The set ups are done ahead of time and covered up with cloth pieces so areas can be revealed as the adventurers explore.  

Following are just a few of the many pictures from each of the adventures.   Click on the appropriate links below to see all the pictures and adventure narrative from each year.  Lots of pics, hope you take a look!

The group of adventurers has been hired by the Guild of Wizards to go into the dungeon lair of an evil wizard recently killed in a wizard's duel.  The evil wizard had in his possession a palantir of great power and greater evil.  The group was instructed to retrieve the palantir but avoid touching or using it at any cost.  The wizard’s lair was known to employ many traps and magical guardians, so the adventurers would have to extra careful in order to survive to complete their mission.

This. Is. AWESOME! I am so jealous of people with complete dungeons, I want all your dungeon pieces, I want to steal (uh, play) with all your terrain and miniatures; I am so jealous (did I mention that already). OK, now that my inner child has calmed down, I would like to mention that your dungeon is fabulous and I really love all your different (classic) minis, I see Ral Partha, Grenadier, Heritage (?), etc. I don't know where you are situated but I want to be your best friend 


Wonderful stuff here,

Thanks Damien and Suber.  It is fun having cool terrain and figs to game with. 

Minnesota is just right around the corner from Edmonton, just bring your classic figs on over for some gaming fun....

You're really making me want to bust out all of my dwarven forge stuff...

This is how I want my D&D games to look.  I am awed and jealous.

It's only an 18 hour drive, don't tempt me!  

When ever you get the chance post more photos, I love looking at all the details in the dungeons and really cool minis.

Cheers,

Fantastic and good to see someone playing Battlesystem. I still maintain that these rules together with the big battle variant are very underated and that with a bit of tweaking they can be some of the best rules around and given that one can convert any fantasy creature/mini and create stats especially given the rich D&D background makes these rules very versatile and flexible.
