A bit more news on Sellsword

[Soss]

Just downloaded it. looks AWESOME! I love what you did. I think it will balance in real well. Just trying what is the best set up to start with. The tricks of the trade are a great mechanic.

Hi Joe,

Will it be on sites other than Osprey? Thanks.

[Pijlie]

Bagged it! Will be reading it this evening.

I love the new captain soldier class!  

To spread the anxiety of having this new expansion, a couple of facts about the captain:

- Does not replace Apprentice and cost same as Templar, stats similar to low-level soldiers (but more Will and Health) and can increase the stats.
- You can buy any weapon and give him equipment, but will be considered personal equipment and may not taken back.
- Can Group Activation with one soldier (there is a Trick or the Trade to activate with 3 soldiers) in Soldiers Phase.
- Gains experience and level up (up to level 10) and must be paid after each game an amount  proportionate to the level.

- And talking about scenarios, they are not directly related to the captain class and are very good, with new twists and a new special creatures, the nullmen.

And now the best part of this game, find/do conversion to the new soldier of my band!

I notice Sellsword is available now on https://ospreypublishing.com/frostgrave-sellsword-38628, am I right to assume it will also feature on Google Play and other sites that hosts your content?

Will it be on sites other than Osprey? Thanks.

Yes - absolutely! It's up on RPGNow, for example (http://www.rpgnow.com/product/171103/Frostgrave-Sellsword), and other sites will be uploading it at their own pace.

Very nice mini supplement. Love the idea of the Nullmen. They'll be a fun project to work on.

[Ray Earle]

Got it. Love the little extras. It's going to be interesting working out how to best use the captain and how to fit him in the warband. 

Now to kitbash a figure to represent him.

- Can Group Activation with one soldier (there is a Trick or the Trade to activate with 3 soldiers) in Soldiers Phase.

It's been a few weeks since I've played, but I fail to notice how that is different from the current situation. Is there an additional phase?

[joe5mc]

It means the captain and some of his buddies can gang-tackle someone in the soldier phase.

[rufus sparkfire]

I just bought it! The captain rules look nice... but does he count towards the maximum number of soldiers in a warband, or is he an extra like the apprentice?

Sorry if the rules cover that and I missed it.

[joe5mc]

The captain is a soldier and counts as such when determining warband limits.

[rufus sparkfire]

Thanks!

@joe5mc
you wrote that you worry about record keeping the tricks and trades...
a solution would be a deck of trick and trade Cards so that you can simply discard the
used up ones and have the left over as reference.

Wouldn't that be a good ides, or can you apply the same trick multiple times
(to get more uses ?)

Purchased, Looks great after a real quick glance, but had to go to work. Hopefully the boss won't catch me reading it at work

[Gulix]

Well, just read through it, and I like it.
I don't know if I'll use a Captain. Not totally sold on the idea (and my wizard doesn't like to share his gold).
But I really liked the scenario. The first one is like "two ideas in one", the second seems fun, and the last one gave me ideas for a Nullmen campaign !
