Miniature Monday

The first in a series to highlight some of the adventuring parties, war bands, and motley collections of murder hobos we here at the Cape Cod Wargame Commission use for RPGs, Advanced Song of Blades and Heroes, and other fantasy skirmish war games. First up is Malthazar’s Mercenaries. Typical Dungeon-Delvers for hire: Wizard, Paladin, Fighter, […]

The Cinder King is coming

The Cinder King is coming. A strange and new threat had arisen in the West, a powerful necromancer calling himself ‘The Cinder King’ vowed to cover the whole of the land in fire and death, ashes and bone, and rule over this undying desolation. Other usurpers, invaders, and malignant entities had threatened the peace of […]

What Darkness Hides

A SYMBAROUM MINI-CAMPAIGN* Our adventure begins in the fortress of Ochi Vanat, a remote outpost on the northern frontier of the Amroth Empire, on the border of the former Urgench Dominion. Exiled to this cold, harsh province, the party members find themselves recruited into the Black Guard: a battalion of malcontents, commuted military convicts, and […]

Song of Ice and Fire miniatures

Always on the look out for good miniatures, a recent thread over at Lead Adventure Forum brought CMON’s new Song of Ice and Fire figs to my attention. (ooooh Shiny!) Now I’m not GRRM/GoT fan but the paint jobs were very nice, so I wandered over to eBay where I promptly picked up a box […]

Tharnulf’s Crypt – Part 2

“Where have you been?” the Paladin snapped. “Spiders, roaches, ogres, all manner of creepy crawlies coming out of the stonework, and you’re upstairs looting bodies.” “Scared of bugs, are you?” the Dark Elf corsair smiled thinly. “Don’t tell me I have to hold your hand.” *** The party was joined by a Dark Elf Corsair, […]

Dark Rituals

Our ASOBH game continues as the adventurers come upon the Necromancer Varro Desecrae conducting an dark ritual at the Shrine of the Sky Stone. In addition to his Hell Knight bodyguard, the vile mage hired a goblin shaman and a mob of goblin scuttlers (backed by a Toad Demon) to insure the ritual is goes […]

Figs for Sale

28mm Fantasy figs, that is. Consolidating the collection of Reaper figs used in our Song of Blades and Heroes games, I’m offering four sets of player character miniatures. These are metal, painted and satin sealed for protection, and are mounted on 40mm bases. (I find the larger size gives enough room for the oversize, dynamic Reaper figs.) […]

New Terrain Piece

Saw this Star of Chaos bouncing around online late one night and thought I should do something with it. So… A scrap of 1″ insulation foam, a couple hours with an X-acto, some house paint, and voila! an Evil Dias. Mantic ghouls scrounged from my bitz box make appropriate Tormented and Damned climbing from […]

3:10 to Yharma

A Song of Blades and Heroes Bat Rep *** “That’s a ‘4’!” Brynar insisted. “No you thick Northman, that’s a ‘3’,” the grizzled cleric replied. “It says the caravan leaves at 3:10. The caravan we were paid to escort.” The barbarian shrugged his massive shoulders. “It’s not my fault the attendant scribbles. You’re the educated […]

The Summoning – Chapter 3

Black Smoke, Red Sky. Safely across the bridge, the Adventurers head to the border town of Jarl’s Knot to purchase supplies and confront the man named in the letter found on the Ork warchief. Following the river path, they exit the forest in the late afternoon and find themselves on a well-traveled road passing through […]
