Tabletop (Boardgame) day!

Kategori: Boardgame

So yesterday was the International Tabletop day! What better way to spend it with playing games with some friends?
 
Started off with a friendly season of Blood Bowl! We tried out the Sudden Death Expansion which we had not played with yet.
 
 
 
I got to try out the new Vampire team, and a friend the new Dark Elves team, at first glance the looked way better than the third players Dwarf team! With alot of new cool players, star players and skills that activate when you are tapped (Stunned or Knocked out?), the new teams just felt better than the original teams. Other new additions was the Contracts or "Crystal balls" Which you could win at matches and would reveal at the end of the game to score more fans! Also it included new balls on the field that would give you a skill OR add more stars to your value! Much greater than the old balls!
 
Those Contracts were what you wanted to win, total gamechangers they changed the entire season when I was leading with 17 fans until the other two players revealed their Contracts. The match ended with one playing surpassing me and the other one got tie with me! 
 
It was a really cool and fun expansion, now I cant wait til my favourite team Nurgle hits the field in the upcoming expansion: Foul Play! Which will include new arenas and dirty tricks cards!
 
 
 
 
The second game we played was Pandemic, a save the world from deadly epedemics game!
 
Strongly reminds me of the PC game where you are making the disease instead. It actually was a fun game which began with a feeling like this would be a stroll in the park with some dots here and there, then all hell broke loose with outbreaks everywhere!? Evetually we kicked the diseases asses finding all four cures and won the game!
 
If you like Co-op games this is for you. No sneay backstabbing, no second places its just all win or lose! So if you are a team player, check it out! :)
 
 
 
Third game, another co-op game. Sentinels of the Multiverse! Now this was a co-op game in my taste! 
 
Fast, cool, dynamic, superheroes, badass villains! This just had everything my superhero fanboy self wanted. 
 
3 heroes, trapped in time, fighting an evil genious. Sounds like fun right? It sure was a blast having a hard time fighting off the Villain Baron Blade in the Silver Gulch, but in the end the Heroes came out victorious and could return to their own time! 
 
Now this is a game I warmly recommend any of my friends! Lots of variety of heroes, villains and locations make it feel new and exciting everytime. Just change one hero and you guys could be struggling even harder with the same villain as the match before. It could even be easier it all comes down to the Heroes and Villains. 
 
Do you like cardgames, heroes, co-op games or all off those? Buy this game you wont be dissapointed!
 
 
 
Last game for the night was Battlestar Galactia, never seen the series but after tonight I will!
Also a co-op game but atleast one of the character is a Cylon, a cyborg infiltrator who wants to sabotage for the humans and stop them from escaping the Cyclon fleet.
It was a fun game but took some time to finish, probably because 4 of us never played it before. But was fun not knowing who to trust and trying to hold the ships food, fuel, population and morale up to escape. 
After nearly 4 hours of hard struggle of survival the Cylons won when Galactica run out of food and it was game over for the humans. Really hard game to win, you need to warpjump nine positions, each position card has a value like 1,2 or 3 and each of them cost resources like 2 fuel or 2 food for example and in every players turn you draw a crisis card. The crisis card could summon Cylon ships or something bad happens on the ship were people need to work together (Or work against) in a hidden voting pool to see what the population on the ships decides to do with the problem. 
 
This game was fun and if you like a little backstabbing, politics and if you hav a pokerface, this game is for you!
 
 
 
Thats was all from me this time!  Hope to see you all again soon!

So here´s the first render for the Rpg minis, the Heretics! Kratach and a melee weapon or grenade under development. Looks really promising! :D One head will change, so we will see some change the coming days!
 

New stuff from Gamer Templates

Kategori: Boardgame

So here are my friend Gamer Templates prototypes for his project. Influenced by x-wing and attack wing these basically allow you to move your model the exact distance specified.
 
 
So no worries about rule-nazis at tournaments or game clubs anymore!
 
Want to move exactly 6" on a 25mm base? Use the 25mm 6" move template and it will do exactly that. The templates take the width of the base into account for the move. There are also shorter ones to go around obstacles so you can do 2 x 3" moves or 3 x 2" moves. Templates included would be one of each of 6", 3" and 2" for 25mm and 40mm bases and one of each of 6" and 3" for 60mm bases. He might at some point also put them in there for the 30mm flying bases..

WZR
 
So first of the Razide will get boosted in the new year with this amazing looking sculpt with alternate heads!
Its a really good idea, and I like the purple! ;)
 
Otherwise progression is going slow at home, soon christmas is here and during the vacation I will probably have a couple of games and have painted up the most of whats left of the Caps. I still wait for the last Heavy Infantry body to be able to assemble it all. So Paul´s Pistonheads can be a full five man squad, 
 
Mutant Chronicles 3rd RPG
 
The KS will start in january! Finally!! And me and some of my international friends(Blog Bro Ishi, Gamer Templates Paul,) + Hamilkar have been taling about starting a gaming group over skype and play a session a month. That would be legendary!
 
The Agents 
 
So I got my "The Agents" game... BUT!.. It had been badly treated on the way over the atlantic and it looks like the mailman sat on it on his way over here as well. I have mailed Double Edge games but have not gotten any answers yet.I hope everything inside is okey! Here is the shape of the package. 
 
 
 
 
Thanks for this time! 
 
 

HeroQuest - The Quest Continues

Kategori: Boardgame

----Sensitive players beware! Evil Gamemastering ahead!----
 

So last night was another HeroQuest session with me at the throne as GM! It was a night of evil laughter and magnificent dice rolling! ;)
 
 
Prince Magnus has ordered that Sir Ragnars kidnapper the Orc Warlord Ulag is to be sought out and destroyed!
 
The Heroes kicks in the the first door and faces the welcoming committee, 4 goblins playing cards during guard duty!
 
The Heroes quickly dispose of the Goblins and the Fimir whos sneaks behind the next door waiting for the Heroes!
 
The Barbarian want more bloodshed so he quickly moves to the first door he sees and bumps into two battleready Orcs!
 
The Barbarian jumps roght into action with the Dwarf watching his back while the Mage and the Elf takes the route up and away from the battle!
 
One of the Orcs land a boneshattering 3 skulls on the attack! Taste that Barbarian! HAHA! ( Evil GM Laughter!)
 
The Mage and the Elf finds the Armory, guarded by an Orc and a Fimir! (Yes a magic door is in the room which cannot be reached in this Quest)
 
After the Barbarian and Dwarf made the process short with the Orcs another Orc lies in an ambush and backstab the Barbarian in the back, with his axe!
 
After swinging his mace over his shoulder and killing the Orc, the Barbarian and Dwarf pushes further in and finds a bookshelf and two Goblins! Meanwhile the Elf and Mage finishes the fighting with the Orc and the Fimir.
 
The Dwarf takes the lead when he and the Barbarian stomps the Goblins to death. In the next room a Fimir and 3 Orcs wait for the heroes to make their move! In the end the Orcs and Fimir meets their maker and the Elf and Mage catches up with the rest of the group and enters the next door!
 
 The Barbarian and Dwarf charges straight in and end up fighting a Chaos Warrior and 2 Goblins (Why would Ulag have two Goblins as his personal guard?) and in the back the towering Orc Warlord Ulag!
 
The Dwarf drinks his Potion of Strength and gets the spell Courage from the Elf and he rolls all shields on the dices when attempting to strike at Ulag! *Evil Chuckle bursting out to maniac laughter* Hahaha :D
 
The Chaos Warrior goes down to his last wound but manage to slay the Barbarian and throws him up in the table!
 
And then the Mighty Ulag slays the puny Dwarf and throws him across the room! Who is next!? ;)
 
The Elf slays the last Goblin and then they retreat to the other room and slashes Ulag with support of the Mage and his poking quarterstaff!
 
At last they slay the Migthy Ulag and moves forward to the last room where they find a chest!!!
 
The Chest was a trap and a sneaky Orc hid in it and charges up and attackthe Elf. But is then killed and sliced up by the Elf and put back in the chest!
 
That ends the Third Quest
___________________________________________________________________________________________
 
 
The Thief Warband in the Black Mountains led by the Chaos Warrior Gulthor has stolen 3 chests of gold from Prince Magnus, The heroes must retrieve them and give them back to the Emperor!
 
Gulthor has two goblins patrolling the Entrance with are quickly chopped up by the new Dwarf and Barbarian in the group!
 
They enter a loooooong corridor and a door in the far end of it. In there they find 2 Orcs having a snack!
 
The Dwarf runs right in a Spear Trap! And takes an arrow to the knee and loses one Body Point!
 
The Orcs are easily dealt with and the party continues while the Barbarian is a slowpoke. (Apparently he´s an Emo Barbarian who is a real pessimist! He is sure they will never get out alive)
 
They wait him in and burst into the next room and runs into two Orcs!
 
After the Orcs have fallen they discover a corridor with two doors!
 
The Dwarfs says he smells gold behind this door and boots right into the Torture Chamber and two Goblins with meathooks!
 
The Goblins met their doom and the Barbarian bursts thorugh the door and falls down a pitfall! AAAHHHH! *Thud* 1 damage! (Hihihi this is funny! :D)
 
The Elf enters the Torture Chamber and finds a Fimir under the Streacthbench (Looks for treasure)
 
Meanwhile the Mage tries to make it to the other door but falls into a pitfill! *Mohahahahah!*
 
While the Mage tries to climb out from the hole, the rest of the party makes an " Ali G gangbang" (Yes thats what they said) on the poor Fimir.
 
The Mage crawls out of the hole, the Elf jumps over the fall and the Barbarian and the Dwarf faces off with an Orc.
 
They make a short work of the Orc and enters a study where they find a secret door!
 
The Dwarf is the first one to go through and check if the coast is clear.
 
The Mage checks this room for Traps and Secret Door, but finds nothing!
 
After a long corridor the Dwarf finds a Door! The Barbarian is keeping up the paste and now the Elf is the one dragging his feet behind! 
 
They enter the room and finds 3 Orcs warming themselves by the Fireplace!
 
The fight is quickly over and the Orcs are thrown into the fire. Still no sight of the Mage?
 
They find the Treasure Room full of chests and enemies! Goblins charge! :D
 
 
Gulthor yells: Minions do the box! But in the end the Chaos Warrior and the rest of his thieves are put down and the heroes return the treasure to the Emperor and recieves 240 gold as a reward!
 
 
End of the Forth Quest
___________________________________________________________________________________________
 
The Heroes must find an Ancient Artifact before the Minions of Zargon!
 
As always the Dwarf takes the lead!
He finds a Throne room and the Elf finds a long corridor and in the en of it a Mummy!
The Dwarf finds a Secret Door when he touches a key and the Throne slides to the side. Meanwhile the Elf kills of the Mummy with his new Crossbow he bought.... He needs to die!
The barbarian finds a Study room behind the Throne with 3 Orcs inside!
The Barbarian becomes a scared little chicken and runs out to the Dwarf for help! But in the end the Orcs are killed and they continue.
The party has formed a train who intents to run this Mummy over!
The Dwarf finds another Undead who needs a clobbering
While the Barbarian opens Library full of Undead the Dwarf turns the Skeleton to dust.
The Dwarf finds a room with a Cupboard, otherwise its empty
The Combat needed a lot of pointing and Tactics from the heroes 
The Dwarf is a master of finding lonely undead!
The Heroes dont know whcich door to open, they are scared of traps!
They find a room with a Stone Gargoyle and instantly pee themselves! (Almost atleast)
The greed of the Dwarf strikes and behind the Gargoyle a Zombie lies in hiding waiting for a midnight snack!
After defeating the Zombie the Dwarf opens the door and to his terror the Gargoyle starts moving!
The Gargoyle stare down the Heroes as the Skeletons charges through the door! The Heroes destroys them all and leave with the Relic and their lives! 
 
End of Quest Six!
 
 
 
Hope you enjoyed the reading! :D
 
 

HeroQuest!

Kategori: Boardgame

----Sensitive players beware! Evil Gamemastering ahead!----
 
So yeah last Saturday we decided to play a little old school HeroQuest. The guys and I had a couple of beers and aksed me to be the GM. Sure why not! (They would regret it later!! HAHA!)
 
 
 
 
We started off as you always do. At level 1! The Trial, easy piecy! Stick together, kill the boss and get the money! The Heroes are unaware of the perils and dangers they will face! (No Traps or Secret Doors!)
 
Lets start then! ;)
The Heroes split up 2 and 2 the first thing they do, the Elf and the Barbarian ends up fighting Goblins in the Torture Room while the Mage and the Dwarf faces of with an Orc in the Study Room!
After the poor little Goblin was put out the Barbarian charges in the next room wielding his Hammers of Wrath (Broadsword) and unleashes a thundering fury (Rolls two attack dices with his Broadsword....). :D
Meanwhile the Mage and Dwarf made a clean house in the Study, The Mage opens the door and fins a Fimir supported by a Goblin. The Mage quickly goes covering in fear in the corner! Yelling pathetic things and crying to the Dwarf for help (All while he prepares his... Shank? Yea thats what the players agreed that the Mage had.)
 
The Elf and Barbarian makes the process short of the Goblin and while the Elf searches the room, Mr. Hammer Time goes knocking on the nearby door. As for the Dwarf and mage they get in a rather handfull situation.
 
The Elf found an Orc while searching behind the Altar which he fled from and let the Barbarian take care of. And after the Fimir and Goblin had been shanked and flashlighted(Yes that was apparently the Dwarf weapon, the model had what looked like a flashlight okey? :D) to death, the greedy Dwarf blocked the door from the Mage so that he could search the Weaponrack for juicy loot! While the Mage runs of to find other treasures!
Too the Dwarfs great dissapointment the Weapons on the rack are of poor condition, rusted and chipped! Thats what you get for being greedy! ;)
The Mage opens the door and finds TWO! Chaos Warriors in the Library! YIKES!!!! (Oh a chest, the Dwarf immediately smells treasure!)
 
While the Mage stands frozen in horror the Barbarian and Elf cleans out another room full of Goblins while the Dwarf slowly makes his way towards the Mages rescue!
 
One of the Chaos Warriors runs after the Mage, while the other guards the Treasure Chest! He will not stand in the way for this greedy Dwarf! 
 
While the case and fighting continues the Barbarian and Elf are having a snack in the Dining Room!
 
Suddenly the GM finds out that a magic door appears in the Magic Room! (Yes I forgot it okey!? ;) ) The Elf runs towards in a runs into a couple of Skeletons. In the meantime the Barbarian have a sneaky plan to undo the chasing Chaos Warrior!
Hiding in the corners waiting for his time to strike, very Barbarian! Hopefully the Mage will duck in time! 
The Plan was a SUCCESS! But the Dwarf is down to ONE Body Point and the Mage comes to his rescue with Healing Water! 
With his renewed strength the Dwarf runs towards the Chest!(Did I mention it was empty? xD) With the Chaos Warrior right behind him! 
 
The Barbarian has had two struggeling turns of trying to defeat the Chaos Warrior, so the Mage had to rescue him to by shanking the Chaos Warrior while he was busy maiming the Barbarian!
The Elf opens the next door and to his horror finds two Zombies and a Huge Mummy! The are laying a trap for the Heroes(Or preparing for a bufé), who runs to the Elfs help! 
The Elf tries to do a Sneaky move. Using his Pass Through Walls, but end up in another room full of monsters! He is trapped!
The Monsters are defeated, the Elf is rescued!  and the Heroes continue their Quest. 
They reach the final room, The Throne Room where the Evil Gargoyle and his closest men and monsters awaits the Heroes!
The Battle is won the Heroes defeat the Evil Gargoyle but at a price, the Barbarian got four hits at the end by a Chaos Warrior and was killed! Mohahahah!

We played one more Mission, but I didnt take any photos since we were watching the SC3 Finals from Dreamhack during that mission. But we can say that TWO more heroes were slained by the GMs godlike rolling, their Bane was two Orcs! Which also saved ALL! their armour rolls! It was amazing, and truly evil! Yes I laughed and hold my belly while the Dwarf and Elf both were put down! :D 
 
Still the remaining two, the Barbarian and the Mage managed to save Sir Ragnar from his Prison! Good job, it was a blast! 
___________________________________________________________________________________________
 
We will try to play atleast once every other week at Saturdays, not just HeroQuest but other games as well like Blood Berets, Resident Evil DBG and so on. Hope you enjoyed the reading and check back soon! ;)
