Steppegrave
« on: 16 August 2015, 07:51:26 PM »
I've convinced my cousin to try frostgrave, as both of us love XVII c eastern european history we've decided to set our games in a lost greek colony somewhere along black sea coast. We will be using few different factions:

Witch accompanied by zaporozhian cossacks




Polish noble devil with ghosts and outlaw nobles


Orthodox priest with moldavian boyar-adventurers

Wow, like the vivid colours! but then, that orthodox is quite cool too!

Why ghosting the nobles? As undeads for spells and enemies?

In legends polish devil Boruta was usually accompanied by damned souls.
Have not decided yet, I was going to use them as regular henchmen, but it's a sound idea.

Probably I'll add a rabbi and golem faction later as well as muslim one (probably tatars or turks)

This is brilliant.... So many options with skazki mythology, pretty much everything and everyplace has its own spirits.

As in case of every slavic mythology you've got wide variety of creatures- werewolves, vampires, utopce (sort of drowned sentient zombies), mamuny, południce, baba yaga, whole set up of devils etc.

Are you going to be making up Slavic style buildings for the ruined city? I remember seeing a WW2 Eastern Front game at a show some years back that had a badly damaged church as the centre point. It had been modelled with the roof collapsed and the Onion dome was on its side amidst the rubble. Looked great.

No, I'm going to make some greek style ruins since in the ancient times there (i.e. on the black sea shore) were greek colonies, slavs came there few hundred years later (IV-VI CE). So columns etc., It'll be quite easy, just drybrushing stuff for the aquariums.
