Now This is How You Earn a Promotion!

[Mr. Peabody]

The Threshold team had been on the road for hours. Arriving in the small village just after dawn, quickly they spread out to assess the situation.




The place was eerily quiet, with not a soul in sight. Rose puts her dogs to work to see what they can sniff-up...




But lurking behind the ramshackle barn, the God-Spawn had gotten wind of the trespassers. It had been a few hours since it finished eating the last of the townsfolk, perhaps it was time for seconds.... The daemon's plan is simple: Fear will cause it's foes to run, go Face Up / Down or if the stars are right, Charge. As necessary, and with it's remaining Actions the G.S. will cast Sinister Energies to deadly effect! Yes, this is a good plan.




Seizing the initiative the God-Spawn heroically dashes out to engage the foe. FEAR ME! It burbles. All the dogs, but one pass their resolve check! Rose makes use of the Threshold leader's Resolve of '2' and passes easily. The God-Spawn is perturbed and FUMBLES its casting roll for Sinister Energies, inflicting its first wound upon itself! 




The Threshold team kicks into high-gear. Rose retreats, and the two heavily armed members of the team advance. Solid rolls with the old double barrelled shotgun and the .45 automatic inflict two more wounds on the over confident God-Spawn.




It was over in the blink of an eye. Chalk-up win number 5 and a Promotion for this team.




The dice really favoured Threshold this game. It could have been much worse. The G.S. had rolled Touch of Death as well as Sinister Energies x2. In fact, we replayed this right away after doing the post-game, just for kicks. The result couldn't have been more different. A total wipe for Threshold, the God-Spawn taking only 1 wound. Frightening.

Both games were excellent fun.

Here's a bird's eye view of the table. Finished painting some new bits this week. Five of the Perry's N. American buildings and the Plasticville Hobo Jungle. Couldn't resist playing with them. Will post some close-ups when I get a chance to take some proper photos.

mr. peabody, may I say: very nice!

Peabody,
Tremendous-looking game - and the lighting of the pictures is fantastic for bringing out the quality of the table. Course it was sad what happened to the squeeky God-Spawn in game one but nice to know he rallied in the sequel.

Solo or gaming with a buddy?

Nice table and pics!

[Mr. Peabody]

Thanks gents! Sorry the pic's are just 'tablet quality'; we were very much wrapped up in the game and having fun.

I know, right? And I purposely avoided taking 'Swallow Whole', thinking that would just be too cruel.

Gaming with friends. I am very happy -grateful even- to know three enthusiastic & recent converts to Strange Aeons.

Really nice looking table.

Interesting the variance between the 2 games.

Enjoyed the report - Thanks

Enjoyable read!

Great looking table!  Can't wait to try it out!  Finally painted up those building Peabs!

[Mr. Peabody]

Yes, like all good terrain projects & kits, these needed to 'ripen' on the shelf for a few years before being built and painted.

Fantastic stuff!

Brilliant piccies, sir.
Lovely brushwork on the scenery and figures creating a very atmospheric scene.
Just wonderful.
 

The two VERY different outcomes just show how a bit of good luck can really brighten your day (unless you are a God Spawn, of course...).

[Mr. Peabody]

Gents, you are too kind!

So very true!
