Osprey have just informed me that Frostgrave: Perilous Dark has been nominated for ‘Best Miniature Rules’ at this year’s UK Games Expo (being held online this year). This is an award that Frostgrave (the rulebook) won
in 2015, and that Ghost Archipelago lost when it was nominated in 2018.
I honestly believe that Perilous Dark is one of my best pieces of wargame writing, so it is really nice for it to get this recognition.
That said, I’m up against some good competition. I actually read Last Days: Seasons in manuscript form. Ash Baker sent it to me to get my opinion, and, in truth, I thought it was great and basically had nothing to add. Meanwhile, I was actually at Adepticon when Ragnarok was first pitched to Osprey. It’s a cool idea for a game, with some interesting mechanics.
Everyone who attends the convention gets to vote for the winner. I obviously have my favourite, but whatever way it comes out, it’s always nice to get some recognition.
There's a reason I own every Frostgrave and RoSD book you've published...and this sums it up. Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteI need to pick this up. Just ordered two more rosd books today!
ReplyDeleteCongratulations! Is it just you 3 guys nominated? I own all 3 books but have only played Frostgrave.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it! A clean sweep for Osprey Games!
DeleteCongratulations; your work is clearly written and fun.
ReplyDeleteBut, that's just, like, my opinion, man. ;)
DeleteCongrats! I recently got into Frostgrave and Rangers. They completely re-invigorated my love for gaming having run D&D weekly for the last five years. We are now deep into our own campaign world with some simple rules for role playing. My group and I are loving it and it's the most fun we have had in a long time. Thank you for such awesome games.
ReplyDeleteIs there a German translation coming soon? That would be awesome!
