Three wizards and a werewolf walk into a magical keep...

Nice write up.
I've added a link from my last blog post.

A couple of beasties from the breeding pits: a minotaur and a hydra.





Oh, and a quick wizard's eye that I knocked up.

  looks great. really like the hydra colors. well dun !!!

[jp1885]

Thanks! It's a bit more turquoise in real life, but the photo made it look blue-ish.

[Voyager]

A bit of nitpicking, but I hope you don't mind. Ironing "the snow" would ease the miniatures to stand firmly on it and I think it might look better by getting rid of "playing on a cloth" feeling. 

That hydra is very nice! I like it's so scaly. What model is that? Who produced it?

[jp1885]

Thanks Voyager - the hydra is a Reaper Bones model.
The 'snowy' table cloth wasn't mine, but belonged to my mate, so I can't really comment on that

Great report on The Keep, JP!  Glad to see your dice improved in time to save the day.

I was glad to hear you liked the UM cards.  I hope to be getting a deck for us to try soon as well.  Might be bit crazy though with 8 cards in play at once!

Also, the minis turned out super. And the wizard's eye is really cool.  Is that just a bit of painted card?

[jp1885]

Cheers CP! It's just a round Rendera base painted up.
The UM cards in an 8 player game? That'll be something to behold! You'll need lots of extra terrain as most of the cards need not only the objective piece, but also three red herrings.

Thanks for heads up! I guess we'll have to leave a lot of spaces open on the table during the initial set up.  The trick will be coming up with a 32 specialized terrain bits on the fly...

[Zephirus]

This is amazing stuff - 

[jp1885]

Thanks!

You'll also need a fair few of the wandering monster types to be available. In the game JP, Alan & I played, we had a werewolf and a Zombie required. The later is fairly common, the former not so much, and there are other models required on other cards.

As Scenery Boy - good luck !

Thanks for the warning, Giles!  I'm hoping figures should be the easiest part, as we have several of the guy's figure collections to chose from.  I can see terrain being the bigger issue, as everyone can easily bring their figure cases to the game; but it's not easy for folks to haul all their terrain. So I'll probably be the main Scenery Boy.

Are all the players using the cards mandatory or optional? Can we give some players the choice whether they want to undertake the extra work or pass on it; or would that unbalance things.

Would it be possible to draw the cards at the end of one game to use in the next, so folks could prepare their own terrain between games?
