Playtesting for Frostgrave is now well and truly underway.
The good news is that the testers have so far found the basic rules easy to learn and
fun to play. There is still a lot of work to be done on balancing the different
spells, the way experience is handled, and rules for games with warbands of
widely different levels of experience. Also, it appears that at least one of the
scenarios has some serious problems that need to be sorted out.
Thankfully, these are all minor issues and exactly the kind
of problems that playtesting is suppose to reveal. So, a big thank you to all
those who have played a playtest game or two already.
This has also led to the first game of Frostgrave appearing
upon a blog. The photo above comes from Arjun Choong, who posted it and several others
on Cor Blog Me!. Check out that Dwarven Forge terrain! I’ve only had a
chance to read through the first few pages of this blog, but it looks like it
has loads of fun stuff for the fantasy gamer.
I am confused, is it going to be a solo game? One where everyone has their own group? Or every player controls one character in a group?
ReplyDeleteAh, allow me to clarify.
ReplyDeleteFrostgrave is a two-player game where each side plays a warband led by a wizard.
The other games where I used the dungeon tiles are games of Song of Blade and Heroes which I played using some rules modification for solo play.
