Any playing Tannhauser?

[obsidian3d]

Hey everyone,

Over the weekend I made an impulse buy (well, semi-researched impulse buy) of a user Tannhauser core game, revise rule book and equipment cards. I got them all for a little cheaper than a sealed copy of the current core game. I haven't had a chance to play yet, but found some cool mercenary cards online (using some figures from the Adventurers first game), and tons of scenarios. The biggest reason I picked it up was simply because I really dug the art style. I know I could buy Dust Tactics to get more figures, but Tannhauser seemed more appealing.

So I was wondering if anyone on LAF had created any custom stuff or even just if you play the game once in a while. I'd love to hear what you've got!

I never actually got to play the game much, but I did create a couple of customs. You can find them on my blog along with some other odds and ends. The blog hasn't been updated in awhile, so there are only a few posts in total, most of them about Tannhauser:

The Mercenary customs that you mentioned were created by Miah. His blog now focuses on other games such as Dust, but started as a TH blog, so you can find lots of material in his archives:

Doc Savage Tales is a pulp blog, which used to have weekly posts about the game. As with Miah's site, there's a bevy of material if you want to dig through the archives:

You can also check out the official FFG forums or, if you can read French, the Black Sheep Archives:

Or if you were interested in websites about the first edition of the game:

The biggest reason I picked it up was simply because I really dug the art style.

I'm also a fan of Tannhauser's style - both its art and original background story. I have mixed feelings about the later additions to the world. Some of it seemed really cool. I really liked the Matriarchy's (possibly) divine-powered armor. On the other hand, it sometimes felt like the designers were simply throwing the kitchen sink at the game.

Hi,

I'm a big fan of Tannhauser since the first days of the first editor TOY. 
Sure you won't regret your impulse buy. And the equipement cards are very useful for the game play.

I have made only one complete custom (miniatures, equipements and stats) : a French Resistant to be intergrated in the Union. He is here http://community.fantasyflightgames.com/index.php?showtopic=37396

On the FFG forum, you'll find probably others.

Thanks for the replies folks. I ended up ordering a ton of Tannhauser stuff from Miniature Market because they had it on sale for around 45% off. The final few expansions that they didn't have in stock I can get locally for regular retail. In another week or so I should have a complete collection for the game, barring making up some custom character materials. I definitely think the Hellboy / BPRD one I've seen out there would make a good addition.

Once I get all my stuff sorted I'll probably post up some pictures. While it's definitely more of a board game, I think there are some good figures and concepts people can use in their other games too.
