Ghost Archipelago: Lost Colossus

Look what just arrived in the post! It’s my advance author copy of Lost Colossus, the first supplement for Frostgrave: Ghost Archipelago which is due out in March. It is always a slightly magical moment for a writer when you first see your work as a proper book, all beautifully designed, and integrated with artwork and photography. (How awesome is that cover artwork by Dmitry Burmak!)

So, what is Lost Colossus? Essentially, it is a big, ten-scenario campaign for Ghost Archipelago, similar in many ways to Thaw of the Lich Lord for Frostgrave. That said, I think Lost Colossus actually has a stronger narrative drive, aided by the fact that the scenarios are linked mechanically as well as through the narrative.

The book also includes a few new specialist crew members to hire as well as the obligatory new treasures and new monsters. Probably my favourite part of the new book is the short section on snake-men, which gives them their own brand of magic, including new spells.

Anyway, I’m sure there will be more news about this in the next month or so, including new miniatures that will be available at the same time. Did someone say plastic snake-men?
