Support indie creators, they are treasure troves of cool models, scenery and basing bits! My last couple of Fenris models (alt text for details)

Some of last night's players: Can we play Colonial Gothic again? That was cool!

My recollection of the last Colonial Gothic game which was "Scoundrel, thy reckoning comes upon the Wal-Mart parking lot at dawn!!"

It was *extremely* silly. You'd all have loved it.

I found everything chugged along nicely with 5E, but the (first) combat was (initially) a little clunky with all the stances. We had it pretty much sorted by the time it came to shoot/hit more stuff later.

Still a bit unsure about the "journey" phase, but it seems to work.

Vibe is great overall.

I would definitely have liked to try The One Ring starter version, but my crowd is happier with 5E.

(I'll get them playing Vaesen yet)

It does, but the standees worked very well last night, particularly with new gamers.

Boondock Actual @laochdua.bsky.social · 18h

Now *that's* a find!!!

So, after over seven hours with the contents of this box last night, I can confirm that this product is absolutely *savage* value for money.

I got this (on impulse) for around $32 in Barnes & Noble.
