So this is a little project I’ve been keeping under my
hat...introducing Blaster!
Basically, I got together with four other wargame
designers – Ash Barker (Last Days & Guerrilla Miniature Games), Mike
Hutchinson (Gaslands), Joey McGuire (This is Not a Test & Reality’s Edge)
and Sean Sutter (Relicblade) to create our own wargames anthology, and Volume I
is now available in either PDF or Print-on-Demand from DriveThruRPG!
The plan is for this to be an ongoing series, with new
volumes coming out on a semi-regular basis. In every issue, all five of us will
be providing new content for one or more of our games, so if you are fan of our work, these books are probably going to be of interest!
It’s an anthology by a bunch of independent game
designers produced for those who like independently-created wargames!
For Volume I, I have gone back to one of my biggest
influences, The Lord of the Rings, and created a pair of linked scenarios that can be played using the Rangers of Shadow Deep rules. In
the first scenario, you play a wizard, searching for his friends in the ruins of an
ancient watchtower, when he’s attacked by a group of wraiths. In the second, a
ranger and four halflings are searching the same ruined tower for signs of the
wizard, when they too are attacked by the wraiths!
Of course, for these scenarios, I’ve had to provide
Rangers stats for the wizard, ranger, and halflings…
Ha! I laugh in the face of danger. I don't laugh at those Darned dragons you developed though!
ReplyDeleteWell, no one wants dragons to be easy! Nazgul aren't your friends either, but a couple of pretty powerful heroes here as well.
DeleteAh, very nice
ReplyDeleteThat's a really cool line up of talent.
ReplyDeleteGlad to see this and I already purchased it. Glad to see Ash Barker -- I have been watching his channel since it first started. Can never have enough Frostgrave and adding another Gaslands option just sealed the deal for me.
