"Yet Another Frostgrave First Play Report" Topic

I recently purchased a copy of Frostgrave, as it seemed like a it might be a good set of rules to use with my ever growing Reaper Bones figure collection. And, quite coincidentally I had already painted a few of my Bones in a winter theme. So, after reading through the rules, I set up a quick solo game one evening this week to give them a play through.
The game was a lot of fun. I ended up doing Archery and Spell Casting wrong the first couple of turns, making them much less deadly. Once I figured out the correct way, the action picked up. I also wasted time messing with treasure. I can see in a non-campaign game like this that the gathering of treasure is not as important, because whoever wins the battle can collect the treasure at their leisure. I've read that adding a turn limit might help correct that, which I will have to try in the future.
I'm also not fully convinced I want to commit to the winter theme. I can see doing a "Watergrave" variant, with a rising of Atlantis type of setting; and being able to use a lot of the more temperate figures and scenery in my collection. Knowing me though, I'll probably end up doing both. :)

Nice report. What is that gothic looking wall you have around the cemetery?

JOHN- Thanks for the link. I had actually started making my way through all the info on his website yesterday. It's a great resource.

Xin- Thanks. The walls, and in fact all the cemetery pieces, are from Armorcast. Their Gothis Walls and Ruined Gothic Walls.
