Another Frostgrave Terrain Project

[Cymril]

Just a quick update: As some of you may have noticed I used parts of GWs Baleful Realmgate for my Well of Dreams and Sorrows (actually I used blue stuff to make moulds, but that is another story). So here is the rest of it attached to the ruined facade of a building. I'm thinking about a special scenario for this. Any suggestion what should come out or what should happen to wizards, when they use it?

Wonderful, wonderful scenery.

[Crazy Ivan]

Lovely scenery all, Cymril! But that last piece is particularly nice, very ominous, perfect for the ruins of a magical city. I'd say either a steady stream of demons has to come out, or otherwise anyone who uses it may gain a stat increase for the remainder of the game, or run the risk of turning into some sort of abomination...?

[Cymril]

Thanks all!

And Crazy Ivan: good ideas. In the first variant it would work like the mausoleum. The second could give a sense of Russian roulette to the game 

The following occurred to me:
1. Some of the ancient wizards escaped from the cataclysm by taking the portal. Now they come back and find their town destroyed and haunted by marauders (the players). Which makes them very angry. But their forces fade, so every round they'll get less dangerous.
2. The portal is one cause of the cataclysm, opening a door to the world of a non-human people (like the Vadhagh or Eldren by Moorcock) which didn't like the visit and sent a blizzard to close the door. Yet the connection is stil established. So it is the passage to some incredible treasure, but whoever uses it, risks to wake the perils slumbering behind.
3. The portal used to be the magic metro of the city, but now gives some game advantages: you can step through and go to every place you like on the table. Or you can send a spell or an arrow through it, to hit an enemy, that is hiding before your eyes.
4. The portal must first be activated by runes. There a five runes in the game. If a player gains at least two, he can get through and gets the same number of treasure tokens as he has runes. When activated every player can use the portal that way.
5. The portal is activated from outside. For unknown reason some Eldren appear and hunt down the players, trying to kidnap them and disappear with them through the portal (could even be something like in Predator, but without Schwarzenegger  )

Here are some first impressions of my gaming board for frostgrave. I'm still not content with the snow. Any suggestions welcome!

Next Hirst Arts tower variant: the observatory.

Whoah this is some serious work! Looks amazing man. I think the snow effect looks really good personally, keep it up

Here are some first impressions of my gaming board for frostgrave. I'm still not content with the snow. Any suggestions welcome!

my .02 cents:

like the coloring, but texture seems too grainy - looks more like sand.

maybe use some acrylic medium/gel for a smoother surface. snow at this scale should not show grains (IMO). I've shoveled enough of it to know...

[Cymril]

Thanks and thanks for the tip pacarat, I will give it a try!

[Cymril]

This are my new frosted dice from Chessex. I think they are perfect for Frostgrave!

Played a game of Frostgrave this week. Enchanter vs. Necromancer vs. Summoner. It was fun and for first time I could use my own terrain. I wanted to share a picture of the setup with you.

The snow looks perfectly fine for something that's thawed a bit and then frozen over again which in turn seems appropriate for Frostgrave. The whole thing looks wonderful, very evocative and full of character.

Very nice!

[Stéphane]

I like your board spirit. This look like old magical city.

Fantastic.

Thanks for posting the images.
