I've been commissioned to write a wargame!

I can now officially announce that I have been hired to write a game called Frostgrave for the Osprey Wargames series. The game will be released in 2015.

Frostgrave is fantasy game in which each player controls a wizard, his apprentice, and a band of warriors and leads them into the frozen ruins of an ancient magical city in search of lost secrets of power. Of course, despite being buried in ice for a thousand years or so, there are still plenty of nasty creatures that survived the deep freeze. Players will have to battle against undead, constructs, demons, and, of course, other wizards as they try to build up their magical libraries.

Anyway, there is more information on my blog: http://www.therenaissancetroll.blogspot.co.uk/2013/07/frostgrave.html, where I’ll be updating the writing process as I go along. I’ll also be showing off some artwork samples. The ones here are just a few of the thumbnail sketches from the artist.

Ooh! Ooh! This sounds like my sort of thing. Add another follower to your list of interested minions

Bloody 'eck! Sounds similar to an idea I'm entertaining for a birthday game at my place this year. Will follow with interest similar to that of other interested parties, such as the interesting von Lucky.

Gracias,

Never been a fan of the magi, being a Dwarf player, but this has piqued my interest

Sounds great! I love fantasy skirmish above all else, and it sounds like this'll be a great unique setting. Smashing.

Really keen to know what sort of game mechanics you're planning on using (derived from Osprey's IHMN or Ronin or maybe something completely different?). Keep us posted!

sounds good...

I knew if I googled "Frostgrave" a black metal band would come up first!

Not that I'm into that sort of music, you understand.

Good concept though and a great excuse to break out every snow effect known to man.
