Brovenloft: The Pope’s Tale
The straight dope from the Bro Pope, the (second) man who brought the Rat King to heel. I’ve made a few minor edits for clarity and readability. Otherwise, these words are his own. Introduction (h/t ThreadReaderApp) Ok, time to resume this thread about #BROvenloft When the #BROvenloft concept was...
Goblins vs. Bromans: More Desert
The last time we looked at Dragon Rampant, we looked at how NOT to use Light Riders. Specifically, we learned that their speed was negated by heavily terrain laden tables. Today we check the null hypothesis, and throw them against the same foes, but this time with no mission...
Bromans vs. Goblins: Desert Raid
Dragon rampant has a great little selection of units, all of which are based on how you use them on the battlefield. After seeing how effective Light Riders could be in the Fate of Stormbringer (poor Dubzaron), I wanted to see what a force heavy on the light cavalry...
Eddie’s Brovenloft
The man, the myth, the legend behind the lich, the myth, the legend posted his experience running Eddie But In Hieroglyphics through the Brovenloft meatgrinder. The bad news is he posted it over on Twitter. That site is so ephemeral and this thread so amazing, it seemed a shame...
Brovenloft: Lessons Learned
There’s a natural ebb and flow to conflict games, and D&D played right is no exception. The first BROSR campaign, Trollopulous, kicked off on a very slow note due to the lack of information available to all players. Strict adherence to 1:1 timekeeping meant that messages crawled around a...
Fluid’s Brovenloft
Straight from the DM’s mouth, what it looks like to send the players at your D&D table into the teeth of a Braunstein, patron-play campaign. This is how you bridge the gap between powerful patrons and the more street-level D&D with which most people are familiar. The man who...
The Rat King’s Tale Continues
Greetings, Rat Friends! When last we met, the Rat King had been taken under the angelic wings of angelic beings and whisked away to the gilded cage that is the sewers beneath Rome. But let’s take a look at Annette’s little adventure in the meantime. The Mad Doctor Baron...
A Thirst for Adventure
We’re still enjoying the freedom and excitement of Fistful of Lead. The universal nature of the rules allow you to throw figures from wildly different genres at each other with abandon. In today’s episode we threw a squad of modern-day adventurers into the desert. They parked a little too...
Swashbucklers and Gretamorphs
Some clever wag over on the channel suggested a better name for my space demons, 10mm Pendraken figures, than greenomorphs. As green-loving and shrieking monsters, gretamorphs they have become. The dice decided on a simple meeting engagement, and here for the first time you can see the simple pleasures...
Dragon Rampant Action
Tried two little experiments with Osprey’s ‘Dragon Rampant’ today. The first was playing the game with my nine-year old daughter. Here you can see that she took command of a key hill, placing her archers within the woods – a great decision on her part. The result: She liked...
