"Dr Who Comes to Frostgrave" Topic

This past Sunday I got to try out the new Frostgrave rules again, this time with real opponents. Two of my friends came over and we got to play a couple games. The first game we played was a three way battle between a Necromancer band controlled by me, an Illusionist party controlled by Buck, and a Chronomancer group controlled by Greg. Greg and I had talked a while back how much the Chronomancer type of wizard reminded us of a Time Lord like Dr Who. So, sure enough, for his faction Greg brought the Eleventh Doctor, and River Song, as his Wizard and Apprentice, which I thought was mighty cool. He also brought three pieces of the rare material, Jethrik, as his treasure tokens.

Both games were a lot of fun, and there are a lot of nuances to the game which will be fun to learn and experiment with. My Illusionist, now named Nikon, and his trusty apprentice, named Cherowyn, are now settled in an old abandoned inn on the edge of the city; fixing it up and preparing for their next excursion. They have put out a call for a Ranger to join their ranks, since they have so much extra space at the inn; and can afford his fes now with the treasure they recovered; he should be here in time to join the next adventure.

Brilliant! Your friend Greg has just sold me on Frostgrave.

You could put Conan or Solomon Kane in there too I'll wager.

The Frostgrave rules are good. I was in the game pictured above. Unlike most reviewers, I try not to form an opinion unless I have played a game three times, but I had a good time. I am not sure the rules will scale to more than three or four players, however, without a lot of people getting bored. Someone is running an 8-player game at Fall In. It will be interesting to see how that works.
