Nightwatch: The Airom Reconquista
Yeah, we use dollar store plastics for monsters in our games. We are old-school, and tend to sneer at those who think spending money is the same thing as playing the game. There are more people out there with that mentality than you think.
Two bucks for fifteen miniatures that work great in scale isn’t just frugal, it’s smart. Bright and cheery, these reptiles are still fearsome and menacing once you put them into the proper context.
In “Nightwatch” your AI-driven enemies spawn every turn from one of four randomly chosen points. In my first campaign, I struggled to remember which point was which, so for this go-round, I made it easy. I whipped up some quick stone circles with ruined tiles that have the spawn number right there on the board. When you’re running solo, every little reminder like this frees up processing power for the rules of the game, and I think the little tiles look smashing on the table, too.
