Although we ran a surprisingly successful virtual convention in 2021 that took advantage of its online format to invite all sorts of participants we couldn't have otherwise (Dirk the Dice of <i><b><a href="https://thegrognardfiles.com/" target="_blank">Grognard Files</a></b></i> in the UK ran a game, and I interviewed<b> </b>wargame/RPG historian <a href="https://www.youtube.com/live/xdf3pGwxULs?feature=share" target="_blank"><b>Jon Peterson</b> <b>via livestream</b></a>), Scrum Con IV marked our return to an in-person format. Because <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/03/scrum-con-2020-leap-forward.html" target="_blank">Scrum Con 2020</a></b> ducked right under the pandemic lockdown on the last weekend of February that year, we were anxious to see if anybody would remember us.<br /><br />Turns out any fears were misplaced...because Scrum Con sold out again this year!</p><p>In fact, every in-person convention we've organized has sold out, but this year's Scrum Con IV was almost 70% sold out of its 225 badges in the very first week, a pace that frankly caught us off-guard. About a week before the show, we had sold enough badges that every seat in every game was filled by veteran Scrum Con attendees and new folks who had just recently discovered that there is a cool wargaming and role playing game convention right here in the Washington, D.C. metro area.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSU-1V-6EvbquCXANyjH6-JzMioyfw2rU9cR0glK9maoQetLGDsan_MUlsd58HC7Y2gRWbUBl2FS4vOzEuGAHWrd9fyhKQVpsY0n_m1BVxNJ2IVTaX59z8za4o-tXSz0iOFFNH7Y5UsS8SQs_3dKQQId1Y528XkXf1wnTy6IRXVMnnjZe_48aA7NvLqQ/s6000/DSC08462.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgSU-1V-6EvbquCXANyjH6-JzMioyfw2rU9cR0glK9maoQetLGDsan_MUlsd58HC7Y2gRWbUBl2FS4vOzEuGAHWrd9fyhKQVpsY0n_m1BVxNJ2IVTaX59z8za4o-tXSz0iOFFNH7Y5UsS8SQs_3dKQQId1Y528XkXf1wnTy6IRXVMnnjZe_48aA7NvLqQ/w640-h426/DSC08462.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>The <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/p/second-saturday-scrum-club.html" target="_blank">Second Saturday Scrum Club</a></b> is not the kind of group that likes to "phone it in," and planning for the convention took weeks of work. While I ostensibly lead the charge, the convention simply would not have happened without a number of club members stepping up, especially in the last couple of weeks when my day job took an unexpected turn for the crushing. Whether it was updating websites, designing and ordering t-shirts, writing and sending newsletters, answering daily queries, organizing the registration booth, recruiting GMs, negotiating with the facility, buying supplies, assembling print programs, documenting the day in pictures, or seeking grant support, the Scrum Club not only stepped up, but executed at a level that did us proud.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi05a77UkFmIX0TCGNmVyPoKcPAv-bQErRRA8LOYTW4ITJA2V835bjXoj8RyNUaKBgXhY9V1ExEF7Sl2UclofkqBqSS1Fb18nSwIbxxi9HWo7AXTjbCuOK5baM5d4FDmj8phOjjOUI7DudGKQAr8JM6zfWIM39dnqZ4DDsQovPYWFExHPP9Rq3KGdtq_A/s2048/registration.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi05a77UkFmIX0TCGNmVyPoKcPAv-bQErRRA8LOYTW4ITJA2V835bjXoj8RyNUaKBgXhY9V1ExEF7Sl2UclofkqBqSS1Fb18nSwIbxxi9HWo7AXTjbCuOK5baM5d4FDmj8phOjjOUI7DudGKQAr8JM6zfWIM39dnqZ4DDsQovPYWFExHPP9Rq3KGdtq_A/w640-h480/registration.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>(right to left):</i> Zach, Francesco, and Rachel working the registration booth in the morning.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Speaking of support, the Historical Miniatures Game Society again stepped in as a sponsor, helping us spread the word and covering a portion of our outlay. It's this kind of support that gives Scrum Con a safety net to operate at the standard it does. The <b><a href="https://www.hmgs.org/" target="_blank">HMGS</a></b> conventions many of us organizers attend are a big inspiration for us trying something like this in the Washington, DC metro area, and we appreciate HMGS's confidence in us as we try to create an experience that grows the hobby. </p><p>Of course, without the amazing GMs offering up their time and talent, Scrum Con simply wouldn't be. This year we hosted more games than ever (around 40), meaning we had more GMs step up and run amazing games for attendees. Some were returning veteran GMs who have run games at every Scrum Con so far, and others were bright creative souls we were lucky to bring into the Scrum Con constellation. Our motto ever since <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2019/01/launching-scrum-con-2019.html" target="_blank">Scrum Con 2019</a></b> has been "curated for quality," and that paid off again this year...every single game at Scrum Con got high marks in our post-con survey.</p><p>And the community of players that attend Scrum Con are special in their own right. We strive to cultivate an inclusive vibe, and the photos below will give you a sense of the diversity we've cultivated, especially across gender and generational lines. I think we saw more parents introducing their children to miniature games and RPGs than at any previous Scrum Con, and that made me particularly excited for the hobby. We still have more we want to do to make Scrum Con feel as inclusive as possible, but I feel like every year we get closer to the goal.</p><p>I'd be remiss if I didn't mention one special attendee: my dear childhood friend Sally Mittler (née Remmers) again made the journey with her entire family to Scrum Con all the way from Santa Fe, New Mexico. She and I played D&D together in Dayton, Ohio in grade school and beyond (circa 1980-86), and I count myself lucky that we're still in each others lives decades later. It was literally D&D that brought us back together in 2020 after not having seen each other in over three decades. Thanks for coming, Sally, and let's see if we can get your brother and Casey and Allan Dean to attend next year for a full on childhood D&D reunion!</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJfz44MjV37weL074zBgJaf0Vw-91jbb56CQQoxKOPNBq7jS7f-LS3-7n0__Jm0uDIWKgLPYAerogoSRY1Jap7d5MOgCboTwZf6y_E7mZNpjRBwXUg1DPSKbxRypZw8651pzBndUxhJcmWU1ITTiKIGX8bvMLM_gQB8sMVtv_ydylQzhg0gtGis7IHQ/s6000/DSC08945.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiXJfz44MjV37weL074zBgJaf0Vw-91jbb56CQQoxKOPNBq7jS7f-LS3-7n0__Jm0uDIWKgLPYAerogoSRY1Jap7d5MOgCboTwZf6y_E7mZNpjRBwXUg1DPSKbxRypZw8651pzBndUxhJcmWU1ITTiKIGX8bvMLM_gQB8sMVtv_ydylQzhg0gtGis7IHQ/w640-h426/DSC08945.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Sally and I first started gaming together over 40 years ago!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Part of the fun of Scrum Con is our <b>No Hassle Flea Market </b>where we had about 40 attendees drop stuff off to sell for the day. Folks brought a lot of cool stuff priced to move. I'd say about 80% of the flea market stuff found new homes, and a lot of consignors left with fatter wallets. Scrum Con prides itself on drawing game makers to run and play at our convention, so I especially like that the flea market gives all of the game designers who GM at Scrum Con a chance to sell some of their published work, too, without having to pay for and sit behind a booth all day. For example, attendees who played in Chris Sellers' <i><a href="https://www.hecticelectron.com/" target="_blank"><b>Raccoon Sky Pirates</b></a></i> game in the morning could come over to the flea market and pick up their own copy in the afternoon, and Justin Sirois had all kinds of cool gaming material in the flea market he's created over the years via his <a href="http://www.severedbooks.com/" target="_blank"><b>Severed Books</b></a>.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeKklbYYYCzs0SyNviU9eKc_dtSTRnkmlVJumBKr3WkzO-jkRsGeHGrVOJC5acPeKAws34_KRa80qRdPy-0PxwSSnL4b8AbhdV7_MPjcD2BJS5JWjByYPmIlAc9t2oMI_axxXGH2XFYyfw-zBtZRMzf_EmPIxnLrX9FCTNWlx-n3gsFUUT2H7s0aKHOA/s1757/flea%20market%205.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1757" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjeKklbYYYCzs0SyNviU9eKc_dtSTRnkmlVJumBKr3WkzO-jkRsGeHGrVOJC5acPeKAws34_KRa80qRdPy-0PxwSSnL4b8AbhdV7_MPjcD2BJS5JWjByYPmIlAc9t2oMI_axxXGH2XFYyfw-zBtZRMzf_EmPIxnLrX9FCTNWlx-n3gsFUUT2H7s0aKHOA/w560-h640/flea%20market%205.jpg" width="560" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh-asyXuW4KXCbJ189mRctCOOZkNc2yygD1dfsGlPOk6S3W5vTC-SGnv6d2nortmqPLvIJYw3hBIG9YL84mp1s02-YF8AGYEV9wglLGFM8LNFRG0vnmPw-GsGxFob293_BRvBvvrr_JUME4Yh6-M6vkPtJBWLEyrAztt1tWiGD8nPICIRQ99h1eAUe2A/s6000/flea%20market%202.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgh-asyXuW4KXCbJ189mRctCOOZkNc2yygD1dfsGlPOk6S3W5vTC-SGnv6d2nortmqPLvIJYw3hBIG9YL84mp1s02-YF8AGYEV9wglLGFM8LNFRG0vnmPw-GsGxFob293_BRvBvvrr_JUME4Yh6-M6vkPtJBWLEyrAztt1tWiGD8nPICIRQ99h1eAUe2A/w426-h640/flea%20market%202.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgNWPbI8-TIspaf7Ug7QXFpChOcywS7vUCrylezsSN_hVHluXZuwhjcPKiCBt8bPtJXEYz7C3fUSnDw7wbHDEYeuQrTkjv-qo-6kutsp9fs2akD2vgI1Y1xrk04na2P_Y-ozNM8bBtAJvF9cie_E-qbgj0CuGUA18RcZ0rY7cazdE_zdh-SwMbDEFDw/s6000/flea%20market%203.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="6000" data-original-width="4000" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgTgNWPbI8-TIspaf7Ug7QXFpChOcywS7vUCrylezsSN_hVHluXZuwhjcPKiCBt8bPtJXEYz7C3fUSnDw7wbHDEYeuQrTkjv-qo-6kutsp9fs2akD2vgI1Y1xrk04na2P_Y-ozNM8bBtAJvF9cie_E-qbgj0CuGUA18RcZ0rY7cazdE_zdh-SwMbDEFDw/w426-h640/flea%20market%203.JPG" width="426" /></a></div><p>In the end, this community is inspired by a love of tabletop games and gathering together to play them. As a scrap book for those of you who attended and a window into the convention for those who missed it, below are photos from as many of those games as I could get my hands on. My sincere apologies to those who ran games that are either un- or under-represented by photographic evidence below. There was a lot going on that day! My wife Ellen took about 90% of the photos below, but a few are from the dab hand of others kind enough to post them in our two Facebook groups (<b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/ScrumCon" target="_blank">Scrum Con</a></b> and <b><a href="https://www.facebook.com/groups/ScrumClub/" target="_blank">Friends of the Scrum Club</a></b>).

We do it because we love gaming, and we love bringing people together.</p><p>There are enough unnecessarily erected barriers between all of us in everyday life. Games can knock those down. Even in these hyperpartisan times, games trump politics. But even in gaming spheres you'll find annoying, stultifying tribalism, whether it's the edition rivalries between Dungeons & Dragons players, the tensions between historical vs. "genre" games in miniatures wargaming, or even the weird rift that exists between wargamers and role players. The latter is particularly befuddling for me given both types of games share so much of the same DNA. That's always been one of the motivating conceptual forces behind Scrum Con: Creating the opportunity for cross-hybridization, giving people a safe and fun way to see and try a game they might not otherwise. It always gladdens me at Scrum Con to see a veteran role playing gamer get seduced into trying a miniatures game and finding out how much fun it is, and visa versa.</p><p>It's simple, really...tabletop gamers prioritize communal pleasures, and help make the world a better place. </p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-PXhPtelC008SbmNUW6BQWnuXrag-0RTTU89O3r3U-Es5Sb0aRYy-ullxv5gIjLoKXmfaH4jGCoHIuH-0XR1LsvvLKiGRJ0DSxbvf2stABhYCGiivu61NpVTslovcU0ukGYybCDmeaZmgvaRfiCLwv6R_rvpZHpNtog7NUQg9070ThuOkJ6uJco3FLw/s6000/DSC08604.JPG" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4000" data-original-width="6000" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh-PXhPtelC008SbmNUW6BQWnuXrag-0RTTU89O3r3U-Es5Sb0aRYy-ullxv5gIjLoKXmfaH4jGCoHIuH-0XR1LsvvLKiGRJ0DSxbvf2stABhYCGiivu61NpVTslovcU0ukGYybCDmeaZmgvaRfiCLwv6R_rvpZHpNtog7NUQg9070ThuOkJ6uJco3FLw/w640-h426/DSC08604.JPG" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Until next year, I salute you!</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p><p> </p></div></div>Joe Procopiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08877692244537194278noreply@blogger.com5tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412156935427062220.post-89664206635855334822023-01-15T20:26:00.009-05:002023-01-16T12:49:11.256-05:00Zenopus, Rolemaster Robin Hood, and Core Space <div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZCHFWtGsf2W4xsb49YDJfHgUexqxEZbriqaooLi1RGJuTKmFAOhiO33J-I0bwws0g8HsN3YDckp3tJ_NK0mmGQL3himR0z-sCRWMeH0iDTEjFaPaz1rIZSoPJb47tnFLNKbTnDfONqtx9tRQT6TCYfnaBdFeKkD12bt3Zaot52LDbfBxUCtfh9EtKw/s3120/cover%20b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2208" data-original-width="3120" height="452" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkZCHFWtGsf2W4xsb49YDJfHgUexqxEZbriqaooLi1RGJuTKmFAOhiO33J-I0bwws0g8HsN3YDckp3tJ_NK0mmGQL3himR0z-sCRWMeH0iDTEjFaPaz1rIZSoPJb47tnFLNKbTnDfONqtx9tRQT6TCYfnaBdFeKkD12bt3Zaot52LDbfBxUCtfh9EtKw/w640-h452/cover%20b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div><br /></div>Although this blog has been quiet for the past several months, it has not been from a lack of gaming activity on my part. In fact, I have a backlog of about 10 posts that I should try to get up in one form or another, including recaps of last November's trip to the <b><a href="https://www.hmgs.org/">HMGS </a></b><i>Fall In</i> convention in Lancaster, Pennsylvania, the announcement of <b><a href="https://www.scrum-con.com/">Scrum Con 2023</a></b>, several games played with my pal Mar Rosquites in his <b><a href="http://mars-miniatures.blogspot.com/">Moria Reclamation Project</a></b>, a multitude of games played when I spent two weeks as a pseudo-bachelor in September, and a many months long fantasy wargame campaign I co-organized for the Scrum Club last summer and fall. <div><br /></div><div>I think it was the latter that sadly sapped my resolve to keep up with the blog and my unofficial schedule of posting at least once a month, if not more often. Even with a collaborator in friend Jared Smith, the campaign took a lot out of me: the writing and preparation for the sessions required a tremendous amount of time and effort, and then some folks in the club decided they weren't interested in going along for the ride, which was pretty demoralizing, especially since the club had agreed to set aside the next several months to play through it. A number of us trudged along, regardless, and I think those who participated in the campaign had a good time. I have a lot of material I prepared for those sessions, but after I fell behind in posting about them on a regular basis, it started to feel overwhelming to try to catch up.</div><div><br /></div><div>But this blog has always been a part of the way I engage in this hobby, and I don't want it to go fallow, so I'm going to try to backfill with some posts on all of the cool gaming I've been doing these past several months. Just to get through it all and catch back up, I'm going to keep these musings briefer than usual.</div><div><br /></div><h2 style="text-align: left;"><b>The Forgotten Smugglers' Cave<br /></b><span style="font-size: medium;">D&D Holmes Basic with Zach Howard of Zenopus Archives</span></h2><div>A number of conventions are in the offing, and some members of the Scrum Club will be running games at a few of them, including Zach Howard (aka <a href="https://zenopusarchives.blogspot.com/"><b>Arch Zenopus</b></a>). Yesterday he ran what I believe was the first playtest of a scenario he's been working on for a number of months and that extends the underground areas connected to the "Tower of Zenopus," the sample dungeon appearing in the D&D basic rules book written by J. Eric Holmes for TSR in 1977. Zach ran us through that original sample adventure proper before the pandemic in 2019, and it was fun revisiting the adventure setting that is obviously dear to his gaming heart. We explored a whole new section of the original smugglers' caves, fighting off swarms of bats and a nasty carrion crawler that got the drop on us. We didn't make it as deep into the caverns as we would have liked, so we're going to circle back and play again sometime soon I hope. Luckily, we'll have the benefit of the excellent map drawn by the party cartographer, Jared. Now that's my kind of old school. I played an elf fighter/magic user, and am looking forward to seeing how far into the caverns I can get with him without getting killed off.</div><div><br /></div><div>Here are some photos snapped during the session, which included me, Rich, Francesco, Jared, Josh, Peter, and Zach (of course).</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0traGonFCiBQnIWBvNn0ytwRBkfMVK8Oc91uOS1X7TqcfrpKvfvGQ8ZmSWeLQIldz0r-Dsl9ks78LKEBLNxlHWD-i_rJW6W35RZA--rEEkGRh7K1Wt-ynnZJgUo8pJqLsx7sb89hmdu6x42VB8A1ezpcMMEoggtUjL1mY6HWOivjZwgjHC2mW4prFg/s4032/Photo%20Jan%2014,%201%2048%2034%20PM.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2676" data-original-width="4032" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEij0traGonFCiBQnIWBvNn0ytwRBkfMVK8Oc91uOS1X7TqcfrpKvfvGQ8ZmSWeLQIldz0r-Dsl9ks78LKEBLNxlHWD-i_rJW6W35RZA--rEEkGRh7K1Wt-ynnZJgUo8pJqLsx7sb89hmdu6x42VB8A1ezpcMMEoggtUjL1mY6HWOivjZwgjHC2mW4prFg/w640-h424/Photo%20Jan%2014,%201%2048%2034%20PM.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Dug out the original dice from my childhood Moldvay Basic set from 1981 for this game.

Like Rich, I think we both shortly thereafter got online and procured our own copies of this odd little 1980s one-off. I also sought out the <b><a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Robin_of_Sherwood">old BBC series</a></b> from the same decade and watched the first two seasons, finding them surprisingly enjoyable despite their vintage.</div><div><br /></div><div>As mentioned on this blog before, I've befriended a group of gamers who are omnivorous in their appetites, with a strong interest in backtracking to some of the older games we never had a chance to play much, if at all, in our gaming youth. I owned Iron Crown Enterprises' <b>Middle Earth Role Playing Game </b>and several supplements, but I never had a group of gaming friends who were going to tackle a system that dense. The Rolemaster family of games have been humorously dubbed <b>Chartmaster </b>for a reason.</div><div><br /></div><div>Our 4:30 gaming slot on Second Saturdays proper are normally reserved for wargames. When several months ago Rich said he'd like to get the Rolemaster <i>Robin Hood</i> game on the calendar and run it as a miniatures game, I sorta suspected a wolf in sheep's clothing, and in the end this was as much or more of a role playing game as it was a wargame. That said, it was a successful melding of the two: Rolemaster is certainly crunchy as all hell, with movement and combat resolution mechanisms taken to an extreme I can't say I've ever gamed at before. And Rich is such an adept game master that I was not surprised that the role playing bits were eminently enjoyable. As far as hybrid experiences go, this was my kind of fun, and it is the kind of thing I've thought about trying my hand at for a while now, too. </div><div><br /></div><div>We managed to get through two "set pieces" of sorts. The game started with Robin and almost all of his men jailed from a heist that went sideways on them. The target was an abbey the sheriff had been using to secretly stash his skimmings from the tax collection he administers. Set upon mid-heist by the Sheriff and his soldiers, the majority of Robin's men were captured and held prisoner in the abbey. Robin, Little John, and Will Scarlet--the character I played--were jailed separately several towns away. </div><div><br /></div><div>The first set piece involved Friar Tuck (Francesco) and Alan-a-Dale (Zach)--uninvolved in the heist--looking for a way to spring Robin, Little John, and Will Scarlet from captivity. The plan included some foraging for poisonous herbs, a distracting musical performance by Alan-a-Dale in the town square, and the beating up of some guards made sick from said herbs baked into their dinner potpie.</div><div><br /></div><div>With Robin and friends liberated, a quick rearranging of the terrain on the table was the segue to the next set piece in which the protagonists must sneak onto the abbey grounds to rescue their captive comrades. This involved some skulking about the area trying to avoid the patrolling local militia while looking for a secret entrance into the catacombs running beneath the abbey. We learned in this episode that Robin Hood's stats with a bow were beyond daunting, and the game ended with the sheriff being downed by a single shot in the eye socket. This, however, paled in comparison to the savagery exhibited throughout the game by Friar Tuck, played by Francesco as if he were a dark avenging angel, slicing throats and stabbing unarmed foes with abandon. As a fellow "merry man" he was ostensibly on my side, and I was still shook.</div><div><br /></div><div>The photos below are in no particular order, and all but a couple by Zach are taken by my inferior hand.

I sorta offhandedly mentioned there was a Kickstarter about to launch for some cool custom tables purpose-built for gaming, mostly to point out the outer reaches of the hobby's accoutrements. I was going to have her quickly look at the website over my shoulder and then let it drop entirely. Much to my surprise she immediately suggested we get one and just roll it into our budget for the home renovations. </p><p>Ellen has always been completely supportive of my hobby, seeing how much pleasure it brings me, but even I was taken aback by her willingness to suggest we make this not-insubstantial purchase. I'll say it here again: she's the best. </p><p>I would never have even pointed out the table if I wasn't confident that it was actually a sturdy, well-crafted piece of furniture, something we would actually like having in our dining room when it wasn't configured for a game day. It will actually allow us to seat eight guests for dinner, something we enjoy hosting. </p><p>But on the second Saturday of each month, our dining room gets transformed into Scrum Hall, and we now have the Cadillac of gaming tables on which to play out our flights of miniature fancy. I bought enough of the accoutrements to accommodate eight players, so each player has their own glass holder and game piece tray, both of which attach magnetically either to the outside of the table or inside the 4" deep vault that's accessible once the table's sectional top is removed. I anticipate this will help a lot with policing the stray dice and tape measures that usually end up scattered around the table, an eyesore that detracts from the photos we all like to take of the games in progress. </p><p>I also picked up a couple of different felt mats cut to fit, as well as a wet-marker erasable hex and grid mat that covers the entire 4'x6' vault. I even sprung for the acrylic overlays that can be used to keep paper game boards and the like flat during play. As somebody with a fondness for and decent collection of old SPI and Avalon Hill games, the acrylic overlay in a nifty feature for those folded-up paper game boards.</p><p>My longtime pisano and fellow Scrum Clubber Francesco came over the evening it was delivered, and we set about putting it together. It arrived the Tuesday before Historicon, and I thought I would just wait until after the convention to assemble the table, but excitement got the better of me, and Francesco was more than game to come over that very night. He couldn't wait for my table to arrive so he could "practice" on assembling mine while he waits another two months for his own to arrive. All said, it came together in about two hours, and if you get one, I advise watching the video beforehand as well as have an iPad handy in order to consult it when the paper directions are too vague. For larger tables like mine (Wyrmwood makes smaller ones), it most definitely requires two people to put together, and I'd suggest three or four for the couple of times in the process in which you have to flip the table over without damaging the legs. This table is <i>quite </i>heavy.</p><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidLFRECy-TW9JrJ7lSZk4HYOF6HQ66z_jWWgxG3kYAXmrbxlLUNr9_UGDzK6HpDaTNHeISmBzdhf_rNNCgmJHk0BqV9zc2JdKxOg9LzttQehE_0lnKXrt78SFhQHcJlir1tCHW6pWoIfN1yYTOuqPU0EYbp4AcsdfhMPg3Hvuo0J327VIAmOVXpQ1uOg/s4032/IMG_4843.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4032" data-original-width="2491" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEidLFRECy-TW9JrJ7lSZk4HYOF6HQ66z_jWWgxG3kYAXmrbxlLUNr9_UGDzK6HpDaTNHeISmBzdhf_rNNCgmJHk0BqV9zc2JdKxOg9LzttQehE_0lnKXrt78SFhQHcJlir1tCHW6pWoIfN1yYTOuqPU0EYbp4AcsdfhMPg3Hvuo0J327VIAmOVXpQ1uOg/w396-h640/IMG_4843.jpg" width="396" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Cha-Cha giving the newly arrived boxes--11 in all--a thorough cat scan.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRu94gVIP9WF6VbzBBNfU_5tT4k9gd86cW2700LqW6t6rOxFGr5CHZYvxBBzxv4ZYcsYxaWKXhXZld9yM0HMwAUOgpySI72BroFjxlEya5p5SajeAP3LXO01AzvZO75JZNdEIb-3FTIOt1uOTVyW0S2Fym0v5_Nj3_lfVb4iq3c7hG9WWD-ZCxV13P5A/s4032/IMG_5085.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3024" data-original-width="4032" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhRu94gVIP9WF6VbzBBNfU_5tT4k9gd86cW2700LqW6t6rOxFGr5CHZYvxBBzxv4ZYcsYxaWKXhXZld9yM0HMwAUOgpySI72BroFjxlEya5p5SajeAP3LXO01AzvZO75JZNdEIb-3FTIOt1uOTVyW0S2Fym0v5_Nj3_lfVb4iq3c7hG9WWD-ZCxV13P5A/w640-h480/IMG_5085.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">The grid mat (hexes on the reverse).

I was a little surprised given I had just spent four days the weekend before at Historicon, but I was eager to try out the table, so I didn't hesitate.</div><div><br /></div><div>I put the call out to the Scrum Club and our auxiliary, with Jared, Steve, Francesco, and Joey McGuire responding they were free to come over. I didn't have a game in mind, but I wanted the first one on the new table to be something of my own devising, and saw it as an opportunity to put some terrain on the table with which I had never had a chance to play, namely a large Dwarven fortress I've owned since around 2018 by the German company<a href="https://www.ziterdes.com/" target="_blank"><b> Ziterdes.</b></a> That said, I still needed to decide what rules we'd use and to come up with a scenario.</div><div><br /></div><div>I opted to use the <b><a href="https://theministryofgentlemanlywarfare.wordpress.com/thud-blunder/" target="_blank">Thud & Blunder</a></b> rules out of expediency. The Scrum Club has been using them since late spring for a monthly campaign we're playing (which I'm woefully remiss in posting about), which meant I'd only have to teach the rules to Joey (given that he is a game designer himself--see <a href="https://worldsendpublishing.com/" target="_blank"><b>This Is Not a Test</b></a>--I knew he'd pick them up quickly). Some of the Scrum Clubbers like the rules more than others; I fall into the camp that thinks they work really well for fantasy skirmish games and do everything I need them to do with a minimum of fussiness. I'll start a series of blog posts soon that catches up to where we are in our monthly campaign, which is slated to go through September.</div><div><br /></div><div>This, however, was a noncampaign game, and I told the players to create warbands of around 250-260 points, building from the lists in the rulebook. I have a fondness for miniatures games conducted by a game master, likely a throwback to my role-playing game roots, and I concocted a scenario that put me loosely in that role. I played the foes (with Francesco's help) that the other players would face over the course of the game, which included a variety of orcs as well as ogres, minotaurs, hill giants, and warg-riding goblins. I kept everything but the orcs off the table at the start, wanting some of the more fearsome foes to be surprises for later in the game.</div><div><br /></div><div>I like building in some randomness in my scenarios, too, and in this scenario that unpredictability involved randomizing what foes would appear each round and where, whether the players would get reinforcements from the fortress each round, what boons the various dwarven burial mounds would bestow on players, and finally how long it would take the players to convince the Dwarven princess that the news they carried was true and that she need to act quickly. Read below for the scenario's description and the various rules I used to add flavor to it. </div><div><br /></div><h3 style="text-align: left;"> The Story Thus Far...</h3><div><i><span style="color: #990000;">With King Osrin entombed for less than a year, the Sea Fortress of Klanên-Rühen is now jointly overseen by his scions, the siblings Prince Fenrod and Princess Ravina. A</span></i><i><span style="color: #990000;">s is the custom, a</span></i><i><span style="color: #990000;">t the one-year anniversary of their father’s death, the clan council will choose one of them to fill Osrin’s role as ruler of Klanên-Rühen, which also means taking his seat on the Council of Free Peoples.</span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;">A fortnight ago, Fenrod began the pilgrimage as Klanên-Rühen’s interim representative at the Council of Free Peoples’ triennial conclave, leaving his sister to oversee the sea fortress. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;">Fenrod never arrived at the conclave. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;">Unbeknownst to his sister and the people of Klanên-Rühen, Prince Fenrod and his band of ambassadors were set upon by the Bludglote, a tribe of Orcs not seen outside of the Borderlands in two hundred years. Fenrod and his companions fell to the attackers just as the Bludglote were driven off by a patrol of Free Peoples. Interrogating a Bludglote straggler revealed a force was being amassed to lay siege to Klanên-Rühen in its time of vulnerability. Princess Ravina would need to make her own pilgrimage to the Council to solicit their help in fending off such a siege.</span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;">Urgency dictates swift action…but reaching Klanên-Rühen before the Bludglote army arrives, convincing Ravina that her beloved brother has indeed fallen, and persuading her that she must immediately leave her people behind to make the pilgrimage to beseech the Council for its help will be no easy task. </span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;"><br /></span></i></div><div><i><span style="color: #990000;">Your band has been sent in haste with the fallen Prince’s signet ring to present to Ravina.

Roll of <b>10+</b> required to convince her that her brother is dead and that she must leave her clan behind at Klanên-Rühen by sailing to the Free People’s Council herself. If their first attempt doesn't succeed, the player's can try again every new round. The odds of convincing her improve by +1 each round spent persuading her; +1 if a dwarf is part of the conversation; and +3 if her brother’s signet ring is presented to her. </div><div><br /></div><div><b>Burial Mounds of the Dwarven Kings</b></div><div>Designate four burial mounds of the dwarven kings spread around on the table. Any Free Peoples' warband that pays their respects to the dwarven lords of old gets one of these bonuses (designate a number for each of the burial sites).</div><div><b>1:</b> You find a group of three dwarves paying their respects (they immediately join your warband).</div><div><b>2:</b> You find a Horn of Calling hanging at the tomb’s gate.

First roll d6 for the location as designated on table (usually touching woods, rocky outcroppings, other terrain); cannot repeat a location until all six locations have been cycled through; re-roll as necessary.

Add a dwarf leader’s bonus if any player has one; if a roll fails, add +1 to the roll every subsequent round until a reinforcements roll succeeds, but then the target number resets to 9+ once a group of reinforcements is activated. If a reinforcement roll is successful, let players choose three dwarf figures from fortress to represent a hero, warrior, and crossbowmen, and place them outside the dwarf gate. They will now be activated by the players as an additional warband at their disposal.

It's helpful when playing a system that you're still coming to grips with and an untested scenario that you're not completely confident is balanced. I did a little of that in this game, but frankly not much: the players had some very lucky rolls for recruiting dwarven reinforcements from the fortress that took care of a lot of the foes that would have been in their path otherwise. I never fudge die rolls as a GM, but I did decide on the fly that when I added orc foes on rolls of 2-3 and 4-5 I put out one less figure than called for. Once I actually saw the figures the players fielded in the game, I feared their relatively smallish 250-point warbands might get hopelessly swamped with that many foes joining the fray each round.</div><div><br /></div><div>All in all, I think it was a good game and a solid scenario. A couple of the players said they'd happily play it again without any adjustments. In the end, after about three hours of play we had to conclude for the night, so as GM I assessed what would have needed to happen for the players to emerge victorious. We rolled some dice to represent the key events for the next handful of rounds (foes spawned and where, how long it would take the players to convince Ravina to leave her fortress, etc.), and I think the players would have eked out a victory, all else equal (e.g., no catastrophically poor combat rolls by the players, etc.).</div><div><br /></div><div>As for the new table, it was just lovely to play on. Everything was easier to manage, no dice were getting rolled off the table, no miniatures fell to the floor, everything was a bit easier to see in the sunken vault compared to when it sat higher atop the table, drinks were kept away from terrain and playmats...it just felt good to play on a nice piece of furniture purpose-built for gaming. I'm looking forward to making many years of memories on this table. We found a new home for the old dining room table--itself a really sturdy, nice piece of furniture--with a lovely neighborhood couple who could put it to good use. Everybody won in some sense, which is how I like it.</div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEdYvldgiRruPTwZF6CE3A45FFYNUMmR70q1jmkAwOC9a__qhjsHVd2210HxTuKwD16JkfoBnYXm9Oz4tUi51tNMMyRoHhSdNfYHjrfyG3pxza_n2s-afmeTL6AE83RqXKTfze3m0DFiWYPk7vru1e66ohGQPJSWjdiEby-2-atYVpUrcQp54xLKpbA/s2016/zb.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1512" data-original-width="2016" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJEdYvldgiRruPTwZF6CE3A45FFYNUMmR70q1jmkAwOC9a__qhjsHVd2210HxTuKwD16JkfoBnYXm9Oz4tUi51tNMMyRoHhSdNfYHjrfyG3pxza_n2s-afmeTL6AE83RqXKTfze3m0DFiWYPk7vru1e66ohGQPJSWjdiEby-2-atYVpUrcQp54xLKpbA/w640-h480/zb.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Our old dining room table on the back deck about to go off to its new home.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p><br /></p>Joe Procopiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08877692244537194278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412156935427062220.post-76591992547086489092022-07-28T18:00:00.014-04:002022-07-30T10:37:39.304-04:00Historicon 2022: (Almost) Post-Pandemic Gaming<p> </p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge2oeYQJyJgjHDiSGzWJRTnnk-frB6UI5M4bM_cODFShzTnkcaOesvELbJjS3sey3RKsZVBlqK_d_75NCT3u45LZL9ycTX8Sp7aIczrEPxIhd3W1gjSuN2bX5Z1mUzVHCHEOen869Q-Lqz6n3V__MnoXr-7LGtjlZ6ETPveGzpYX0hq9MFmBLmMefNpw/s3633/Photo%20Jul%2022,%205%2017%2034%20PM.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2620" data-original-width="3633" height="462" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge2oeYQJyJgjHDiSGzWJRTnnk-frB6UI5M4bM_cODFShzTnkcaOesvELbJjS3sey3RKsZVBlqK_d_75NCT3u45LZL9ycTX8Sp7aIczrEPxIhd3W1gjSuN2bX5Z1mUzVHCHEOen869Q-Lqz6n3V__MnoXr-7LGtjlZ6ETPveGzpYX0hq9MFmBLmMefNpw/w640-h462/Photo%20Jul%2022,%205%2017%2034%20PM.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Steve and Joe, punchy already on Day One.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p></p><p>Based on the way most folks carried themselves at this year's convention, you'd be hard pressed to find evidence that the pandemic is only just now--possibly, hopefully--winding down. "I see a lot of old white guys without masks," my pal Jared noted about the Historicon photos he was seeing on social media, and he wasn't wrong. Mask wearing was sparse, elevators were full, and the flea market known as Wally's Basement was elbow to elbow whenever they opened it back up for a new round of shopping every two hours. </p><p>I confess that I let my guard down for most of my time there, which for me started late Thursday afternoon and lasted through Sunday morning. I wore a mask whenever I had to ride an elevator because that seemed like a potential swirling vortex of viral entrapment, but otherwise I somewhat resignedly went with the prevailing approach of hoping that a double boost of the vaccine would keep me from death's door. The fact that I skirted COVID on a two-week trip to Europe earlier in the month seems miraculous to me given all of the folks I know who have travelled recently and fallen ill. The idea of contracting COVID at Historicon seemed a fait accompli: I remember turning to my Scrum Club mates John and Steve at one point over the weekend and saying that if we don't all end up with COVID from this convention, it'll be some kind of miracle.</p><p>Despite this disregard for masks and social distancing, there was still a bit of a pall over the proceedings. I had a great time, but overall attendance seemed down around 75%, the vendor hall felt less energized, and Wally's Basement was lucky to fill half the tables at any given session of the flea market. To be honest, I kinda liked the sparser attendance overall. Navigating everything felt a little easier.</p><p>A downside was that there were fewer games overall, which meant fewer genre/non-historical games on the schedule this year. While not our explicit intention, John Sears and I remedied the imbalance a smidge by pulling together impromptu pick-up games of his <i><b><a href="https://www.starschlock.com/" target="_blank">Star Schlock</a></b></i> game. John is about to open up a public beta test of the rules, and these games gave him an opportunity to get in a few more playtests with strangers as well as hopefully gin up some positive word of mouth. In the end I helped John run the game two times off-schedule during the convention, once on Thursday night and again on Saturday night.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJraykLgtlkgbwN9V_EzYeMyw1MZ5leqTUqusEfOyr5GJZ5gktAuzmWDAI8RXR_BQie9rUp_pEj4kJx3r3LEmiQbrcZo8vDwvb0MDhT4x1IbK_FyepAAa1faFP7WXnmJW8Qb60gy0qB5CP61Mk47iiiq-NkrTjkqb3CDjq8gQrfUkXA_W9L9nVTVrE4g/s3756/Photo%20Jul%2022,%2012%2005%2007%20PM.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2855" data-original-width="3756" height="486" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJraykLgtlkgbwN9V_EzYeMyw1MZ5leqTUqusEfOyr5GJZ5gktAuzmWDAI8RXR_BQie9rUp_pEj4kJx3r3LEmiQbrcZo8vDwvb0MDhT4x1IbK_FyepAAa1faFP7WXnmJW8Qb60gy0qB5CP61Mk47iiiq-NkrTjkqb3CDjq8gQrfUkXA_W9L9nVTVrE4g/w640-h486/Photo%20Jul%2022,%2012%2005%2007%20PM.heic" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFnjzR7xkryKE4s5_zc91fsiHU38JgjnSn0hJnGB36zq_4QzZMmnF9t9fQyqMFBcaY4H_50jklNwO04ktLxhxu75Cc30lpoPF5XK0H3ETzq6j62lAvlItS_XLH-Hlox7RJ3FgtoQpSPBYqsfS0ZarKHZcAphyB-ZUwj3et8Vvb4L7AzLCMMJCmFh3cQ/s2523/Photo%20Jul%2022,%2012%2005%2000%20PM.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2145" data-original-width="2523" height="544" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifFnjzR7xkryKE4s5_zc91fsiHU38JgjnSn0hJnGB36zq_4QzZMmnF9t9fQyqMFBcaY4H_50jklNwO04ktLxhxu75Cc30lpoPF5XK0H3ETzq6j62lAvlItS_XLH-Hlox7RJ3FgtoQpSPBYqsfS0ZarKHZcAphyB-ZUwj3et8Vvb4L7AzLCMMJCmFh3cQ/w640-h544/Photo%20Jul%2022,%2012%2005%2000%20PM.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Ed Watts and son Brendan.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>The games I did get to play in over the weekend were all quite enjoyable, and I feel like I've found a new gaming compadre in Troy Nowak, the game master who ran a Friday morning <i>Star Wars </i>game I played in. Gaming at 10:00 a.m. is never something I'd do outside of a convention setting, but I'm glad I caffeinated myself enough to jump into Troy's game.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">STAR WARS</h2><p>Troy used the old 1991 ruleset <i><b>Star Wars Miniatures Battles</b></i>, which had just the right amount of crunch for me (though I'm guessing Troy may have simplified it a bit for convention play). We even got to play with his 25mm figures that had been issued when the game was published. Much of the rest of the table was filled with what I believe he said were 3D printed buildings and terrain pieces that he had produced during the pandemic. All in all, it was a fun game, with easygoing players. Me and one fella played the imperials who had laid a trap for the rebels who needed to shoot their way free. Classic <i>Star Wars</i> stuff, and classic fun. It was a fast moving nail bitter all the way to the end, with lots of dice chucking. Our game had an appropriately cinematic ending, as the rebels barely eked out a victory literally on the very last move of the the last turn with a final flurry of blaster shots missing the back of the sole surviving rebel scurrying out the gate. Here's Troy's official description of the game:</p><p><i><b>Like Rats in a Trap<br /></b>Alliance forces received information that a large Imperial arms shipment is being assembled in a local hanger for transfer off-world. Any weapons the Alliance can capture will be a boon to the local resistance. Capture the weapons to help restore the Republic or secure the hanger and defeat the rebel scum.

They're some of the smartest, most raucous games you'll find at Historicon or any convention for that matter. At <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/03/scrum-con-2020-leap-forward.html" target="_blank"><b>Scrum Con 2020</b></a> he set up an expansive game set in Shakespeare's London for about 16 players. This year's Historicon game accommodated a similar horde of players, and incorporated a mélange of literary referents either written during or set in the early 1800s. A simple look at the game's title below will give you the literary genealogy for Jeff's inspirations. But literary allusions don't make a game great. What Jeff does so marvelously well is weave together all of the characters and plots from those sources into a game in which every player has some thematically appropriate objective that stretches beyond those found in a traditional wargame, recreating something akin to the <i>Braunstein </i>antecedents that pointed the way to role playing games in the early 1970s. Several characters were meant to either get married (or stop such nuptials), challenge others to duels, or promote/diminish some other player's social standing with special abilities like "Withering Remark" and the like. In other words, all the sort of conflicts and dilemmas one might find in such novels but with the addition of a mysteriously growing horde of undead shaking off the dirt of the grave and shambling across the board. The whole event ended with the successful marrying off of one of the Bennet sisters in spite of the pesky zombie uprising. </div><div><br /></div><div>While Jeff and his co-game master controlled the zombies terrorizing the English town, the players were divided into two camps, the "respectable folk" and the "ne're-do-wells." I was typecast again amongst the latter, and played the role of a "zombie catcher" who was paid for killing zombies or, better yet, capturing them in my caged wagon to be dragged off to the burning fields. Despite the important public service I was clearly providing, my character, Davenport Sedley, and his band of thugs were not above conking the heads of the still living and passing them off as undead for payment. I couldn't help but imagine myself as Boris Karloff in my favorite movie he starred in, <i>The Body Snatcher</i>. In the game's finale, my character was dragged off to hell through a mystic portal in a nearby woods. (Fellow ne'er-do-wells played by Virginia Montrie were Mary Shelley and her creation Adam. I tried to convince Virginia that she should improvise her own secret objective of marrying off Adam to one of Austen's Bennet sisters.)</div><div><br /></div><div>All of this would be a convoluted mess in lesser hands, but Jeff is a theatrical master of ceremonies that somehow is able to tug the narrative thread along to the game's end while undergirding the proceedings with quick-to-learn rules, in this instance a simplified version of <i>The Silver Bayonet</i>. I've wanted to play in one of Jeff's games for years, and I'm happy to report it matched my high expectations. Here's the official game description:</div><p><i><b>Sharpe’s Pride and Prejudice and Master and Commander and Zombies<br /></b>"It is a truth universally acknowledged that a zombie in possession of brains must be in want of more brains." – Jane Austen. In a Regency England overrun by the undead Unmentionables, can the Bennet sisters find suitable husbands? The chances are good since England’s heroes have returned to fight the undead, including a roguish rifleman and scallywag sea captain together with their mandatorily Irish sidekicks. What hope do mere zombies have against some of the greatest heroes in English literature?</i></p><p><i>(I think I might have filched a few of the below photos from Mr. Wasileski's own Facebook account.

I liked the rules enough to wander over to the vendor's hall afterward to pick up my own copy of <i>Mein Zombie</i>, thinking it was the kind of game I'd enjoy running and the Scrum Club would happily play. Michael put together a fun game, and as the writer of these rules he was able to teach it quickly and keep the action rolling along without spending any down time consulting the rule book to answer edge-case questions. </p><p>I ended up seated between a 12-year-old boy and his grandfather (who was distressingly not too much older than me). It was fun seeing the gap between generations close while we all scrambled to work together to stop an ongoing horde of zombies from escaping the town's sewers. There were nine of us at the table playing the survivors who had volunteered to go into the sewers and close off five access points that the zombies could use to crawl above ground and eat the townsfolk. </p><p>I worked closely on our side of the table with the aforementioned grandpa and grandson, and we managed to close three of the five portals on our own; what the other six players were doing over on their side of the table still baffles me because 3.5 hours into our game they still had failed to close either of the two remaining portals. Eventually we had to go over and give them a hand, making noise to draw zombies off so that they could finally get the job done. In the end, we succeeded in closing all five portals and clearing out the 100+ zombies still roaming about. I suspect the brain-eating zombies would have been sorely disappointed in what the players on the other side of the table could offer in that regard. </p><p>My dice luck was at a comically low ebb in this game. My first action in the game was to run through the sewer toward a few zombies, hoping to quickly clear our path. I failed my movement roll and skidded on my ass into said zombies. I managed to stand back up and swing my bat at my foes only to roll so poorly that not only did I miss, but somehow hit myself in the back of my own head. It was a sure premonition of how most of my rolls would go for the rest of the game.</p><p>I did eventually recover enough to help another player later in the game. A fellow player's character rounded a corner to be confronted by his own mother, now zombified. He wasn't allowed to attack her, so I put her down for him. He darkly chuckled and asked where was I 30 years ago?</p><p>Here's the official game description:</p><p><b><i>Zombies Into the Sewer<br /></i></b><i>Using the fun and fast play rules </i>Mein Zombie<i>, you will take an intrepid hero down into the sewers beneath the town to eradicate the zombies. But there is more to it than just killing a few zombies in the dark, they keep pouring in from several different locations. It is imperative that you find and close all entrances while battling the zombie horde. This game is great for beginners or the experienced a like. If you like fast play games of zombie killing, this game is for you. </i></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwkJUqkOB1p1GdW0z2zIkyU95fawVDkxLBKjIjQT8R2VGHqoFausE70AyieYYDsRQwmku-9334xcczA14p--M4L143rD6fCHwCBEKudKzY8neSntV2DU0EUtehFZMuASHsznqzMJUhzvmqJhU08Nl-_HMrb6JEhSnnATWJowxmc_DnbjiVLEJWGwlljQ/s4032/1.heic" style="margin-left: auto;

The best deal I got was all of the beautifully painted miniatures I picked up from John and Virginia Montrie, who had lots of stuff to sell this year. I also beat a quick path straight to the Miniatures Building Authority booth in the vendor hall because they almost always have some clearance-priced items that I can't resist. This year was no different, and I picked up a cool gatehouse for $20. </p><p>The heartbreakers for me were the couple of things I somehow didn't get to in time in Wally's Basement. The first were three Heritage plastic miniatures sets (Cleric's Quest, Wizard's Bane, etc.) that Frank Weaver beat me to. I've literally been looking for these for years on eBay, and they just never turn up. Frank scooped them up for $10 a piece.</p><p>The other teeth-grinding "one that got away" was on Sunday morning, when Wally's Basement opened an hour earlier than I anticipated. John sent me a photo of some guy selling a bunch of 1st edition D&D modules for $10 a pop who was "willing to make a deal" for the lot. I bolted from my room and across the convention center to check them out. I actually have a lot of modules for first edition D&D, but I'd happily fill some gaps in my collection for $10 each. I got to this fella's table literally as my pal Tony Marano was closing the deal for the entire stack. Tony let me flip through to see what I missed, and there were two extremely collectible RPGA modules in the pile, including "To the Aid of Falx," which goes for hundreds of dollars. I'm glad they went to Tony, but still...</p><p>Anyway, I left with lots of loot I was happy to get.

I've never actually owned a copy of the RPGA Network's newsletter, though I always wanted to join as a kid back in the 1980s (just couldn't afford the dues). It has been fun reading these this week and getting a peek into early game culture. These are issues #7-19, and were published around 1982-83.</td></tr></tbody></table><h2 style="text-align: left;">Closing Thoughts and Parting Shots</h2><p>Was it great playing games and buying cool stuff to add to my collection? </p><p>Of course.</p><p>But what I enjoyed even more was making new pals like Troy Nowak. Getting to see my friend Ivor Evans receive an award for the amazing crafting he always puts into his games. Catching up with Tony Marano, Andy Campbell, Keith Sloan, Jeff Wasileski, Michael Colton, Eric Schlegel, Ed Watts, John and Virginia Montrie, and a number of other pals I often don't get to see in any other context. Helping John introduce <i>Star Schlock</i> to new players. Eating almost every meal with Steve Braun. Having a late night drink with Walt O'Hara in a poseur cocktail lounge late at night overlooking the Lancaster skyline.</p><p>Games are fun.

His convention games rank near or at the top in terms of the level of crafting on display, and his players at Scrum Con have always let us organizers know what a grand time they had playing at his table. </p><p>And also like Zeb, we bumped into Joey at <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2021/11/the-slow-road-to-recovery-historicon.html" target="_blank"><b>last November's Historicon</b></a>, and realized that we had never gotten a game in together despite living in fairly close vicinity to each other. When he overheard Steve Braun and I mention we were going to get a game of <i>Ravenfeast </i>on the table soon, Joey expressed interest in joining in the fun. </p><p>I had a strong intuition that Joey would fit right in with the Scrum Club gang, and I was glad my instincts proved reliable. Joey is easy going, smart, and fun to game with, and not surprisingly, he brought some beautifully painted miniatures to put on the table for his warband of Saxons. He even hung around for our usual lengthy post mortem in which we typically discuss what works and doesn't in a rule set and what sort of house rules we'd adopt next time to get the kind of game out of the experience we desire. Being a designer, all of this sort of discussion was right in Joey's wheelhouse.</p><p>I'm looking forward to having Joey back over to play some more games with us, and hopefully do some playtesting of his next set of miniatures rules he's working on. We have even already discussed playing a <i>Gaslands </i>game together in which he'd lead us through his crafting seminar for kit bashing together some post-apocalyptic vehicles from old Hot Wheels cars.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">RAVENFEAST</h2><p>This week we opted for our own variation on a "Get Back to the Long Ship" style scenario. It was good fun, though more of the rules' shortcomings and ambiguities started to show through, particularly around the shield wall maneuver. Simply put, once two groups lock into combat with facing shield walls, combat can turn into a slow, tedious grind after a couple of rounds. We're going to look at ways to mitigate that, perhaps by increasing the number of figures required to form a shield wall from just three up to four or five. Or we might reduce the benefits of the shield wall from a +2 armor bonus to just +1. In the end we called the game early because so many figures were stuck grinding out shield wall combats that a lot of the energy drained out of the game.</p><p>I think we also need to play around with building our own troop profiles just to give more variety to the units, especially when it comes to movement rates. This would open up some more tactical options that the pre-built units lack as it stands. We also can easily think of about a half dozen additional unit Traits to add to the game; the trick is to make refinements and adjustments to the base game while preserving its chief virtue--<i>simplicity</i>.</p><p>Six of us attended this game: Steve B., Rich M., Peter M., Walt O., Joey McGuire, and your humble chronicler. Half of us played Vikings racing to get back to their two long ships waiting near the shore, while the other three of us (including me) played Saxon warbands trying to intercept and block their escape. To save on prep time, we each claimed one of the warbands we had used in last week's eight-player game.</p><b>Note on photos: </b>The below photos are not a recreation of the unfolding action in the game but rather a smattering of shots at various points to provide a flavor of the proceedings. Most of these photos were taken by my wife, Ellen, but a few were taken by others in attendance. Always assume I shot the worst photos below.

We've definitely generated enough ideas to warrant it.</p><p>Nonetheless, I think there were two flaws the we have to own ourselves in this particular session: one was table set up, and the other just poor strategy. I'll take the blame for the former. I wanted to put a lot of terrain on the table. I was over-enthusiastic in this regard because we had a lot of cool terrain at our disposal from three different collections. And because the Saxons had the more powerful archers, I thought more terrain would give the Vikings more cover. It turns out that the Vikings felt like the terrain, particularly the big clump of woods, forced them into a couple of paths that "funneled" them on the way to the beach and boats. </p><p>That's certainly how it worked out in this particular game, but I would argue that that was as much a tactical mistake on the part of the Viking players. The forces were too evenly matched for the Vikings to have much hope of simply punching through the Saxons, but the Vikings still insisted on forming up in shield walls and marching right into the Saxon's own shield walls. If I had been a Viking player, I would have run my warband in a loose group to suggest I planned to form a shield wall, inviting the Saxons to be ready to engage us in the same formation. At the last moment, however, I would have scattered my Vikings in as many different directions as possible, including through that big clump of woods. That would have provided some cover from the Saxon archers, but better yet, it would have forced the Saxons to break formation and either try to rush back around the woods to intercept us on the other side (not easy) or enter the woods to try to catch up and engage us one on one. This strategy would have almost certainly ensured some Vikings would make it through to the beach and awaiting boats (which would then have been a good time to form a defensive shield wall). Frankly, I was a bit surprised the Vikings insisted on pushing along the "obvious" paths where we Saxons clearly had them blocked.</p><p>That said, it's not as if the Saxon players didn't make some mistakes. We had a couple of mounted troops that should have been ranging all over the back field harassing the Vikings, picking off stragglers, and breaking up their shield wall formations with fast attacks from the rear. But overall the Saxons played a successful defense because the Vikings played such a traditional, straight-ahead offense.</p><p>In the end, I don't care too much about these things, but this was one of those rare games where I could actually see and execute some strategic choices in a game, and recognize where and when the other team was making choices that weren't helping them achieve their objectives. </p><p>Maybe I'm finally getting the hang of this wargaming thing after all.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQBAQHpKAfzSGxdskN2-Ig9_FEJeCdjrNeu6328Jqt4KwPs8VdY_rb7poCIfGDxTcGcop1RccAjyMF_6ROwVYRaT10X7QIyig_UWjfi61Bh9Qr3jILq2_9JK9PfZnq3qeTvtN2MUp5XywrPxd9vZNSXXYITY6G_6fxJOVgBMFwKrAZZLPl9KVP1t9k7A=s5333" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="3731" data-original-width="5333" height="448" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgQBAQHpKAfzSGxdskN2-Ig9_FEJeCdjrNeu6328Jqt4KwPs8VdY_rb7poCIfGDxTcGcop1RccAjyMF_6ROwVYRaT10X7QIyig_UWjfi61Bh9Qr3jILq2_9JK9PfZnq3qeTvtN2MUp5XywrPxd9vZNSXXYITY6G_6fxJOVgBMFwKrAZZLPl9KVP1t9k7A=w640-h448" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">====================================</span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">=========================================================<br /></span></b></p><p style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">====================================</span></b></p><p><br /></p>Joe Procopiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08877692244537194278noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412156935427062220.post-13739779939747470892022-02-11T00:19:00.008-05:002022-02-16T18:11:28.851-05:00A Ravenfeast Send-Off for a Friend<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgF473XjWmxEGis4SVjQiLTeVDkNU2171sIXUHJOBWdW9A7ogdnpIdC_e4BCtFIWEb3XtaJOM9rJPTnd3E0hiKmOiRoM60vPuBWd_jJgxMrnuggeD-ePF8IQmfFKVWUxqdWVXEYtNBNYgQf4VfccicgUZ0OVm5YgXbUuOzrSQs5o-jCEDwFVAYF5--qQA=s5272" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2914" data-original-width="5272" height="354" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgF473XjWmxEGis4SVjQiLTeVDkNU2171sIXUHJOBWdW9A7ogdnpIdC_e4BCtFIWEb3XtaJOM9rJPTnd3E0hiKmOiRoM60vPuBWd_jJgxMrnuggeD-ePF8IQmfFKVWUxqdWVXEYtNBNYgQf4VfccicgUZ0OVm5YgXbUuOzrSQs5o-jCEDwFVAYF5--qQA=w640-h354" width="640" /></a></div><br />Gaming and friendship have been bubbling up in all sorts of unexpected ways for me in the past week. My closest friends growing up were those with whom I gamed. Those experiences around the table transcended the mere chucking of dice together. <i>Play </i>can be a powerful shared experience, and when done with kindred spirits, it's the closest thing I've found to the magic of writing and playing music in a band. They're not the same, but they can involve a transcendent connection with other people in the room...they can lead to a different experience of time and of connectedness. I don't think it's an accident that we use the verb <i style="font-weight: bold;">play </i>for<i style="font-weight: bold;"> </i>both games and musical instruments. They can engage similar parts of our "psyche."<p></p><p>The intersection between <i>gaming</i> and <i>friendship </i>came to the fore unexpectedly just this afternoon in a discussion on Facebook around the idea of commodifying the role of a game master as a "professional service" with actual monetary payment, something I find intrinsically anathema to what inspires me to make time for play. A fellow gamer and friend of mine had a different take on the topic. But all of the imaginative play we've done together over the years has grounded us in a friendship that made it easy to disagree without becoming antagonists.</p><p>It's no accident (or surprise if you know me) that I started a gaming group--the Second Saturday Scrum Club--when I got back into gaming a few years back. Wargaming, for me, is at heart about the camaraderie, the friendships I've forged over the past handful of years. I enjoy the crafting side of the hobby, and the creative aspect of tinkering with rules and creating stories and scenarios for our evening's fun. But what I really enjoy is the feeling of a room full of merriment, of people filling my house with joyous noises and energy. In contrast to most other blogs devoted to this hobby, it has been a conscious choice from the beginning to include a fair share of photos of the <b><i>players</i></b> during the game. I love a beautifully painted troll or smartly crafted miniature copse decorating the table as much, maybe even more so, than the next guy, but it's the photos of my friends mid-game that really stay with me. </p><p>Incidentally, all of this is also probably why I'll never be much of a solo gamer. Or why I have little to no interest in gathering to game in someplace like a retail establishment instead of a home. It even influences how I think about my own eventual retirement: I can't ever see myself moving somewhere that doesn't have a vibrant gaming community (though frankly, the friends I currently game with make it hard for me to consider moving<i> at all </i>in retirement). When I was around 12 years old, the factory my father had worked at for 29 years shuttered. I remember him asking me shortly thereafter if I wanted to move to Florida, where a plant in the same industry existed and would likely offer him a job. I loathed the idea of moving because I was so invested in the friendships I had at school and our neighborhood. We ended up staying in Ohio for a host of reasons, but I was very clear on my preferences. For me, the premium is always on the ties that bind.</p><p>Which makes it bittersweet when a friend comes into your life and then you have to soon thereafter bid them farewell as they make a geographic move. Such is the case with <b>Zeb Cook</b>, who is moving to Tacoma, Washington, after spending the last dozen years living in Baltimore not too far from Scrum Hall. As I've written a couple of other times on this blog, it has been a real pleasure to get to know him and spend time in his company. Having him join in some Scrum Club games over the past couple of months revealed another kindred spirit.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi74usw4fJDBMNk2RW4SaqmPacTPzKAbtjL4qUvtWhg_QfsPUv_it6dEvMGFrMNV8UyS9N0u3FVnRrZ3KNIiGHEI2ucnDdzGxSd_H3xHJulmwVEZQft_XArytZwhXhoET9B5PiijA-OKqQnvPfDomytpFxfiOhxryLI7DCgQz9gqk8Y82MKrwDfpEI93g=s1600" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1200" data-original-width="1600" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEi74usw4fJDBMNk2RW4SaqmPacTPzKAbtjL4qUvtWhg_QfsPUv_it6dEvMGFrMNV8UyS9N0u3FVnRrZ3KNIiGHEI2ucnDdzGxSd_H3xHJulmwVEZQft_XArytZwhXhoET9B5PiijA-OKqQnvPfDomytpFxfiOhxryLI7DCgQz9gqk8Y82MKrwDfpEI93g=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/03/scrum-con-2020-leap-forward.html" target="_blank"><b>Scrum Con in Feb 2020</b></a>: Zeb had just run a game that my grade school friend Sally Remmers and I got to play in together, which was the first time she and I had seen each other in 32 years.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Zeb came over last Saturday to play <i>Ravenfeast</i>, another game I probably wouldn't have given much thought to if it wasn't for my friendships with Tony Marano and Miles Reidy, whose game club produced the rules. It was a large, collaborative effort played by seven of us on a 4'x8' table, attended by Zeb, John, Steve, Walt, Rich, Peter M., and myself. Almost everybody contributed painted figures or terrain to the game.</p><p>We divided ourselves into four teams, with two players/warbands per team. Zeb and I played on one of the teams, and the goal was to scour the countryside for hidden loot around the table before the final turn, which was unknown until it was upon us (after the sixth turn we rolled a six-sider and added the turn number to the result; if it added up to 12 or higher, then the next turn was the final one). Points were totaled for loot retrieved and foe's slain on the battlefield. </p><p>Steve and I pre-made warbands for folks, and I created 3x5" templates to help everybody keep the stats straight. We played with the Fate cards and the gold ducats, both of which could be used throughout the game for special actions (e.g., rerolling dice, removing terrain penalties, etc.).</p><p>The game is dead simple. That isn't to say it isn't fun--because it is--and its simplicity is a big virtue when trying to run a wargame with this many players at the table. We tweaked or clarified a couple of rules. For example, the shield wall rules needed a little finessing, and Zeb smartly observed that we should replace the penalty for disengaging from melee and make it mirror the handling of attacks from the rear instead. The current disengage rule is so punitive that it's hard to imagine anybody risking a disengagement. </p><p>If we played this scenario again, I'd also add some sort of encumbrance mechanic that slowed down a figure laden with a certain amount of loot. I think this would create some fun opportunities to try to hunt down and poach loot from opponents, something that is mostly impossible given that almost every figure on the board is typically statted with the exact same movement rate.</p><p>In the end, I believe Rich and John won the game. But again, I might be wrong. I rarely remember these details for long after the game. Frankly, it's never how I measure the success of them.</p><p><b><i>Ravenfeast </i></b>is free, simple, and designed specifically to help introduce people to wargaming who have never played one before. I encourage you to download them. You don't even need miniatures.

In addition to guests Peter M. and Mark A. (visiting from Minnesota), we were finally able to also have <b>Dave "Zeb" Cook</b> over to Scrum Hall (i.e., my dining room) for a game of some sort. </p><p><b><a href="https://www.scrum-con.com/" target="_blank">Scrum Con</a></b>—the convention we organize here in the DC metro area—has been lucky to include Zeb as our guest of honor since its inception in Feb. 2019, and the idea of him coming over to the house to game with us started getting bandied about not terribly long thereafter. Like so many pre-COVID plans, however, the pandemic sadly put the idea on indefinite hold. But when I bumped into Zeb at <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2021/11/the-slow-road-to-recovery-historicon.html" target="_blank"><b>Historicon last month</b></a> and we got to chatting, it seemed like we should revisit the idea of getting a game in together and settled on the week between Christmas and New Years. </p><p>Fortunately, the Scrum Club has a handful of pretty fun games at the ready that we've prepped and run at conventions over the years, but the most impressive of them in my opinion is John Sear's <b><i><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/star-schlock-astros/star-schlock-astroguards-miniatures" target="_blank">Star Schlock</a></i></b>, if for no other reason than all of the great custom miniatures John has sculpted and cast specifically for the game (and sold via his recent Kickstarter). We've been play testing and helping John refine the rules for over three years now, and I was confident it would provide a fun night of wargaming for guests Zeb, Mark, and Peter.</p><p>A total of six of us gathered for the evening, and we divided ourselves into two teams facing off against each other at the table. John has toyed from the start with ways to make the objectives asymmetrical and variable within a given game, and we used the latest iteration of that approach in this particular game. </p><p>Zeb, Peter, and I played a combination of the planet's native inhabitants and the Astroguards deployed by the Union of Sovereign Star Systems, with a slate of objectives we could choose to pursue that ranged from protecting key features on the battlefield to claiming the bounty on some of the shady characters amongst our opponent's units. Our opponents played a gang of pirates and other intergalactic ne'er-do-wells who have landed on the planet with a variety of objectives that typically involved plundering precious resources or kidnapping diplomats stationed to the planet.</p><p>Everybody seemed to have a grand time, and as is typical of our regular Scrum Club games, we played for a couple of hours, broke for dinner, and then returned to finish the game. My wife Ellen fed us all with some homemade chili, pasta, and fresh cornbread, and also popped in as usual to take a bunch of photos.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiSMCp0mPgIbJ44kWRg3qGPKas0yLLtHsbXyfR3UeV8V8HN_LHbvaLf_GNDEFjoUtChoyxasRFXBCgcGQKPZ92iN81Wbvrp761Lu09nFj6yGtXPF3wrGTVznnmwJe4XF4sWxcmM_Nrbz4Gh5CkDvOfHaOAPXnHLIzvQs9u-paxhk02jJMNTGMZ3fHjiDQ=s4032" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2632" data-original-width="4032" height="418" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEiSMCp0mPgIbJ44kWRg3qGPKas0yLLtHsbXyfR3UeV8V8HN_LHbvaLf_GNDEFjoUtChoyxasRFXBCgcGQKPZ92iN81Wbvrp761Lu09nFj6yGtXPF3wrGTVznnmwJe4XF4sWxcmM_Nrbz4Gh5CkDvOfHaOAPXnHLIzvQs9u-paxhk02jJMNTGMZ3fHjiDQ=w640-h418" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Here's Ellen after feeding us, taking some snaps of the fun in progress.<br />(<i>left to right</i>: John S., Ellen, Zeb Cook) </td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Most of the photos below are by Ellen, with a smattering contributed by John or myself (assume the worst of them are by me).

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
As the year crawls to an end, I'm looking through this blog and noticing a couple of posts I started and never finished. This is one of them. Back in July 2019, I placed the photos on the page, jotted down a few bullet-point placeholder notes, and then never actually went back and wrote anything to post. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The post was meant to be my informal review of <i>Rangers of Shadow Deep</i> after my first game of it with Josh O'Conner, who set it up for us to try in his basement. I think I never finished this post because I was not very impressed with the game but I knew Josh was, and we hadn't been gaming together long enough for me to be sure my candor about the game wouldn't hurt his feelings and sour a budding gaming friendship. I consider Josh more than a gaming friend these days, and so I'll go ahead and post this with some very short notes fleshing out the bullet points I had left as a reminder for myself back in 2019 (at least the one's I can still decipher the intent of 2.5 years later!). </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"> </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"Bringing more people into miniatures gaming hobby:"</b> I think I wanted to find something to praise about the game, and so intended to start the post by mentioning how it had seemed to really capture the attention of some folks in other gaming spaces (RPGs, board games) and got them try a miniatures game. This is an indisputable good thing that I think <i>Rangers </i>has genuinely accomplished, and I'm thankful for that if nothing else.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"Different activation mechanisms:"</b> I honestly don't remember the game's activation mechanism. I'm guessing I thought it was too orderly by comparison to the other cooperative game I was playing at the time, <i>Sellswords & Spellslingers</i>, which has an activation mechanic that's a lot more fun, in my opinion.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"<i>Sellswords </i>more exciting, unpredictable:" </b>Okay, well this answers my question about the above bullet point.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"Many more models needed for <i>Sellswords</i>:" </b>This is true. The model count for <i>Sellswords</i> is much higher than for <i>Rangers</i>. But the models needed for <i>Sellswords </i>are usually almost all of a certain type (e.g., 20-30 orcs, or skeletons, etc.), and can often be picked up in boxes for fairly cheap. I remember <i>Rangers </i>needed a lot of giant flies, something I don't think I would ever reuse in another game.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"Card decks:"</b> I have no recollection what this note was about...</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"<i>Rangers </i>is basically solo <i>Frostgrave</i>:" </b>This is true. The basic mechanics were nearly identical, and I wasn't a huge fan of <i>Frostgrave</i>, though again, I think it garnered enough attention that it pulled some non-wargamers into the hobby for the first time, which is always a good thing. (To be clear, I didn't dislike <i>Frostgrave</i>, but I wasn't as enamored with it as some folks.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"High lethality in both:"</b> Indeed, both <i>Rangers </i>and <i>Sellswords </i>have high mortality rates. I don't mind this, in general.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><b>"<i>Five Leagues from the Borderlands</i>:" </b>This note suggests I must have felt compelled to point out <a href="https://www.modiphius.net/pages/five-leagues" target="_blank">another co-op fantasy miniatures game</a> that had come out around the same time but had received little attention in most wargaming corners. I liked the system, even though I've come not to love the business model the company Nordic Weasel employed of dribbling out short optional PDF rule packs (5 pages or so) for $2-3 a pop. I'd rather the publisher had just gathered them all together in a single supplement and charged a more reasonable price for what they were. I grew disenchanted with <i>Five Leagues</i> not long afterward because of this approach. I guess Modiphius has picked up the license for it and is now going to launch a new edition, which I'm sure I'll succumb to the temptation to purchase...again.<br /><br />And those were the extent of my bullet points. I'm guessing I would have found more to say if I had fleshed this out at the time. I do know we posted a video about the two systems on our Scrum Club TV channel not too long after this game.<br /><br /><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><iframe allowfullscreen="" class="BLOG_video_class" height="266" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/-NJ5uF72OQA" width="320" youtube-src-id="-NJ5uF72OQA"></iframe></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I don't remember much about our game—photographed below—except that one of our protagonists died drowning while swimming across a pond swatting at a giant fly. I remember that seeming hilariously ridiculous and the most ignominious death for a protagonist I had ever encountered in a skirmish game.</div>

He gave me a lot of choices ahead of time for the type of game he could put on, including many periods and genres I had never tried before. Peter is one of my wargaming buddies who likes to play "historical" games in addition to all of the "genre" games (fantasy, sci-fi, etc.) I tend to gravitate toward, and so this was an opportunity for me to branch out and try something new.</div><div><br /></div><div>We ended up settling on a game centered on a fictitious Vietnam War-era operation. I can't claim to remember all of the details of the scenario at this point, but the gist involved one side playing the Americans who had choppered in near a village in Laos to try to extract any survivors from a downed huey. The other side played VC who saw the US chopper go down and were looking to take its crew prisoner. Scoring was based on the number of downed crew members each side could find (they were hiding in and around the village) and get safely off the side of the playing area each player deployed from. I know the American side could also score points by finding and destroying ammo and weapon caches found around the deserted village (I can't recall if the Vietnamese player have a comparable way of scoring extra points). Peter used a homebrewed mélange of <i>Disposable Heroes</i> and <i>The Long Road South</i> for the rules of our game.</div><div><br /></div><div>The scenario itself hints at my ambivalence when it comes to playing games like this. Make no mistake: I had a fun time, and I will play almost anything that puts me at a table with Peter and Steve, but I'd be lying if I said I didn't have mixed feelings about playing a wargame set in Vietnam. It's not easy for me as an American to play American soldiers in Laos--where Americans should never have been in the first place. As I observed to Peter and Steve more than once during the game, the Americans aren't exactly the good guys here.</div><div><br /></div><div>That might be part of the reason why, despite loving wargames, I prefer <i>genre </i>gaming over <i>historical </i>gaming: the backstory for each made-up conflict can be as unambiguous as you like. And even if you like to add some "realism" to those fantasy or sci-fi conflicts by making the motivations of the antagonists shades of grey rather than stock good and evil, you at least aren't having to confront the uncomfortable real world echoes that games set in actual periods of conflict can force you to grapple with. I, for one, would have real difficulty getting excited about a Civil War-era game in which I had to play Confederates, given the fact that we're still dealing today with the legacy of that conflict and its unambiguously racist impetus. And, fair or not, I admit that I'd have some questions about somebody who <i>wanted </i>to play the South in such a game. Maybe I'm just not interested enough in military history to achieve the cold, analytical distance needed to find pleasure in recreating battles in which the morality so clearly favors one side.</div><div><br /></div><div>Gaming in other periods does not present these challenges for me, and that's probably more a testament to my poor education about the conflicts between Vikings and Saxons or the 100 Years War or Alexander the Great's conquests. But I do personally know Americans who fought in Vietnam, and I have Vietnamese friends and acquaintances whose families were traumatized by the war. One of my Scrum Club mates has a Vietnamese wife, and that, too, has made me wonder if he cringed when he heard I was playing a game with toy soldiers set in Vietnam. I'd hate to offend by trivializing something that hits very close to home for him. </div><div><br /></div><div>I try to go through life with as much self-awareness as possible, and so I feel compelled to honestly acknowledge in this post that, despite all of the pleasure this hobby has brought me in the past six years since "discovering" it, my relationship to it isn't uncomplicated. </div><div><br /></div><div>And reconciling that basic paradox--I love wargaming but hate war--is a challenge and something of a personal enigma. I went to numerous protests in opposition to the war in Afghanistan and Iraq. I hope, but can't be confident, that if I was a young man during the Vietnam War I would have done the same. My dad was a brawler in his youth, and never shied away from a fist fight or physical confrontations, but he was also quite clear with me that he was very thankful that the Korean War effectively ended a few months before he turned 18 and would have been eligible to be drafted. He had no desire to go to war, and never romanticized it with me. </div><div><br /></div><div>My mother's two older brothers served in the navy in WWII: one came back an alcoholic, impotent from malaria contracted in the Philippines; the other died six weeks before war's end in the Battle of Okinawa when six kamikazes eventually sunk the destroyer he had served on for the previous four years. Nobody in my family glamorized those men's service or sacrifice. </div><div><br /></div><div>That said, I was obsessed with WWII as a child and eventually the Vietnam war in my early teens. I had a grocery bag full of army men in the 1970s that could entertain me for full days, and for a while enjoyed few things more than running around the neighborhood playing war with a plastic M-16 that I know my mom absolutely loathed. I even thought as an early teen that I might want to be a helicopter pilot for the Army. Eventually, the more I learned about and understood the horror of all wars--and that precious few of them were fought on defensibly righteous grounds--I grew less enamored with those conflicts. Yet war is still fascinating to me on a fundamental human level. I took a course called Vietnam War Literature in college with my favorite professor, Stephen Wilhoit, and it was there that I first read Tim O'Brien's books, which profoundly shaped not only my understanding of war but what kind of writing I aspired to do as a young man of letters. It's hard to maintain a romanticized mindset about the Vietnam War after a course like that one.</div><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhyv0eh_CtmlPTgdVPvc1jqGhgE2j2JZ2spkQKpVHSx9K6Alj03gmHOFGPMLb0KeAmdqO0WFMs9EhP8yUykrlMGjMI7eA_eWO0Rh6b0Ul2jBOn-KfMKxRchB3VqTCq3-leFyW1RqoBUSpf61Qv72dWqp5tzlOaECqROjCMtB_etyPLFoTtpwP9f97qn3g=s597" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="597" data-original-width="433" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEhyv0eh_CtmlPTgdVPvc1jqGhgE2j2JZ2spkQKpVHSx9K6Alj03gmHOFGPMLb0KeAmdqO0WFMs9EhP8yUykrlMGjMI7eA_eWO0Rh6b0Ul2jBOn-KfMKxRchB3VqTCq3-leFyW1RqoBUSpf61Qv72dWqp5tzlOaECqROjCMtB_etyPLFoTtpwP9f97qn3g=w464-h640" width="464" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Even when I had this photo taken at an amusement park booth at age 13 it was done with a bit of self-aware irony regarding my conflicted feelings on the subject.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div><br /></div><div>So, I approached our game by trying to put myself back in the mind frame of that young kid who would have enjoyed spending the entire afternoon scratching around in the dirt and grass of the backyard with his best friend at the time, Jerry Bell, creating battles for those green army men we pitted against one another on those bygone summer days. Peter brought silly hats for us to wear at the game table--a bit of a trademark of his GMing style--which also helped make it hard to take any of it too seriously, as well.</div><div><br /></div><div>Without further rumination, I'll share some photos from our game. These were shot by either Peter or myself. No matter the setting or period, Peter puts on fun, cinematic games, and I did have a great time this particular afternoon, despite what all of the soul searching above may suggest.

Four of us (sans Walt) grabbed a mediocre burger at Habit Burger Grill near the Valley Forge Casino before we drove homeward into the night.</p><p></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgChu-Pb5CKMYCCk8pA4xly9zO9Ogae7Q43xjRwITW9wzLud-FnuH4A_Ofofo-r1zwkXCUh2gkVeF67A1Ex7EmjnJA-foEZLcFQm7n1C0UYJalzCq6gb1O0VF8S8DntCylyw9n-YM37c1l5IOo5VpyGSdO7-SqGWK5f0qO9sQCdzWCMYVmPWwCXs37Wlg=s2048" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="300" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgChu-Pb5CKMYCCk8pA4xly9zO9Ogae7Q43xjRwITW9wzLud-FnuH4A_Ofofo-r1zwkXCUh2gkVeF67A1Ex7EmjnJA-foEZLcFQm7n1C0UYJalzCq6gb1O0VF8S8DntCylyw9n-YM37c1l5IOo5VpyGSdO7-SqGWK5f0qO9sQCdzWCMYVmPWwCXs37Wlg=w400-h300" width="400" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Francesco kindly drove the entire way there and back. The morning trip was quite lovely, with the tree leaves nearing peak fall intensity.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><p>Earlier in the year I had booked a hotel room for three nights of the convention, when the vaccine was initially rolling out. Never would I have imagined at that time an anti-vaxxer movement could be strong enough to leave us struggling to achieve reasonable vaccination rates all the way into November, but the past four years should make absolutely nothing a surprise anymore. About a month out from the convention, the grousing by anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers on the online message boards discussing the convention made me decide to cut my attendance from the usual four days to just the one day, in-and-out. And even then I only attended because the HMGS convention organizers wisely mandated masks in all convention spaces. If they hadn't, I wouldn't have gone at all. But even so, I simply could not imagine sitting around tables gaming for hours with folks who did not want to take this health crisis seriously enough to protect their own families or mine.</p><p>All in all, the HMGS board had an immense set of challenges to pull this convention off, and I applaud the way they handled things. If I had a quibble, I would have appreciated a bit more diligence on their part when it came to the occasional person flaunting the mask mandate. The rule was clearly stated months in advance, and if somebody disliked it enough to disregard it or only half-heartedly abide by it (everyone knows masks are supposed to cover noses, too, at this point), then they should have stayed home. I was frustrated enough with one attendee that I said something to him myself. I had seen a photo of him online on Thursday without a mask, and when I saw him in person and maskless on Saturday bellying up to a game table full of players who were wearing masks to spectate on their game, I couldn't abide it any longer and walked over to tell him he needed to put one on. He feigned dumbness and started patting his pockets as if he had misplaced his mask, so I told him to go to the convention desk and they would provide him with one. He returned 15 minutes later properly masked, but it really should have been somebody else's job to enforce the rule. Fortunately, 95% of folks (maybe more) were abiding by the mask mandate.</p><p>With such little time at the convention, I didn't bother to sign up for any games. My plan was to meander through the gaming halls and do some shopping in the flea market and vendors' area. I ended up being able to hit both sessions of the flea market on Saturday and scored a few nice things (more on those below). I also picked up a nice little middle eastern building for half price from the Miniatures Building Authority fellas (I usually find a close-out deal I talk myself into at their booth each convention).</p><p>The best part of the day by far, however, ended up being all of the folks I serendipitously crossed paths with, something I didn't want to bank on given we'd all be masked up and harder to recognize. I didn't expect to see <b>Joseph McGuire</b> (<i>This Is Not a Test</i>, <i>Reality's Edge</i>), but we had a great conversation about game design, future projects, and having him over soon for some games at Scrum Hall. I also had a chance encounter with <b>Zeb Cook</b>; his welcoming hug and easy manner make him one of my favorite people to catch up with at these things. We parted company with similar promises to schedule a game at my place sometime in the coming weeks. I also ended up bumping into <b>Tony Marano</b> of the <i>Little Wars TV</i> crew, a kindred spirit I'm glad this hobby brought into my orbit.</p><p>I expected to see other pals, like <b>Miles Reidy </b>and <b>Jeff Wasileski</b>, because I knew ahead of time they'd be running games that I was determined to watch in action for a while on Saturday afternoon (see pics below). They both, without fail, put together my favorite games at these conventions. Fortunately for me they were set up nearly side by side in the Grand Ballroom, where I ultimately camped for the last couple hours of the day, taking photos, watching cool games, and catching up with all of the awesome aforementioned folks.</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Leonardo Da Vinci and the Prince of Foxes</h2><p>The best game masters at these shows are not coincidentally some of the more personable ones, easily donning the mantle of showman and ring leader, designing and running their games with the clear intent of making them as entertaining as possible for the players. Jeff Wasileski was born to the role, and his games are known for being some of the more inventive and theatric at these conventions. On top of it all, he creates some of the most beautiful games you're likely to find, which made him a much sought-after game master for us as we put together the last in-person Scrum Con we organized back in 2020. His <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/03/scrum-con-2020-leap-forward.html" target="_blank"><b>massive Elizabethan occult mystery game</b></a> in a lovingly crafted neighborhood of London near the Globe Theater was one of the highlights of our convention that year.</p><p>At this year's Historicon I got to see his latest game, set in a fictitious past involving contraptions straight out of Leonardo DaVinci's notebooks. If I was going to play a single game at this year's Historicon, I guarantee it would have been this one (though Jeff's game from the previous evening recreating the final showdown from the first <i>Die Hard</i> movie looked like great fun in its own right). Below is Jeff's description of his game from the con's program:</p><p></p><h4 style="text-align: left;">Leonardo Da Vinci and the Prince of Foxes</h4><b>Time</b>: 4 hours, <b>Players</b>: 8, <b>Location</b>: Grand Ballroom<br /><b>GM</b>: Jeff Wasileski<br /><b>Period</b>: Fantasy, <b>Scale</b>: 28mm, <b>Rules</b>: <i>Dragon Rampant/Pikeman's Lament</i> modified<p></p><p><b>Description</b>: Artist turned imposter nobleman, Andrea Orsini has been sent by Cesare Borgia to undermine Marc Antonio Verano, lord of Citta Del Monte as part of his plans of conquest.

The ending point of one game is the starting point for the next. Each player will control a reinforced company and will fight over a detailed reconstruction of Central Stalingrad at 1" = 25 yards.

The Valley Forge Casino is huge and warren-like, with game rooms, workshops, lectures, and vendor halls spread across multiple levels. I was laden with new acquisitions from the flea market and vendors hall, and was frankly done walking for the day.</p><p>This turned out fine because the Grand Ballroom is where I ended up seeing the coolest games at the convention and crossed paths with multiple folks I wanted to see.

The reasons are still murky, and there's a lot of speculation out there as to what happened. A lot of players were left in the lurch who had signed up for those games. Hopefully we'll see a lot less of these sorts of cancellations going forward.</p><p>In the end, however, Historicon does what it does so well: reinforced for me my love for this hobby and those who put so much time and energy into sharing their passion and creating a good time for others. Even one abbreviated day at Historicon allowed me to chat with folks I hadn't seen in two years and to marvel at the creativity on display in the games I saw. Hopefully the world continues to move in the right direction, and future HMGS conventions can be free of pandemic drama.</p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></b></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: red; font-size: medium;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</span></b></div></b><p></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p>Joe Procopiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08877692244537194278noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412156935427062220.post-79231779191546860242021-11-11T18:03:00.008-05:002021-12-21T18:15:40.544-05:00The Pleasures of Mechanized Mayhem<p> </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZ442igEe2osTNjesZ-zejP_S2FUPwV4x7fELqOH7prYqeJ3nDfau0bEb02Xr70Ry88jIXrijBa7y6JWsID_7zrZMLoYOCTSmq7dA1JfWvn14gNfTL20p3uc8V5kH4fnEMSx4P_biZT6K7FByAzGIbUchaahnwjcJn4OpB-UBvvUqNWO4Sy_EAGNdk8Q=s2048" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEgZ442igEe2osTNjesZ-zejP_S2FUPwV4x7fELqOH7prYqeJ3nDfau0bEb02Xr70Ry88jIXrijBa7y6JWsID_7zrZMLoYOCTSmq7dA1JfWvn14gNfTL20p3uc8V5kH4fnEMSx4P_biZT6K7FByAzGIbUchaahnwjcJn4OpB-UBvvUqNWO4Sy_EAGNdk8Q=w640-h480" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p></p><p>As a young teen, I made it a point to set the VCR to record <i>Robotech </i>every morning before going off to school. When I got back in the afternoon, my dad and I would sit down and watch it together. If it was sci-fi TV, my dad was interested, and I have many fond memories of watching everything from the original <i>Star Trek</i> series with him to <i>Space: 1999</i> to <i>Battlestar Galactica</i>. </p><p>Incidentally, I was never a <i>Transformers </i>fan, however. It aired when I was 14, not long after I abandoned buying and playing with toys, and even at that age I could discern the whiff of bullshit wafting off a TV show crassly designed with the primary purpose of selling expensive plastic junk. Given that my dad and I never watched that show, it was bemusing to learn that in recent years my dad has gone to the theater to see most of those Michael Bay monstrosities. As a car guy, a sci-fi fan, and a bit of a brawler in his salad days (accumulating five broken noses and a punctured ear drum for his efforts), the idea of cars turning into giant robots duking it out must have pushed his buttons in a way that I should have but didn't anticipate.</p><p>In addition to <i>Robotech</i>, like many young guys my age with such proclivities, I did become mildly obsessed with anime in the mid-1980s, especially things like <i>Mobile Suit Gundam</i>, <i>Bubblegum Crisis</i>, and <i>Appleseed</i>. Basically anything with mechs and battlesuits (of course, <i>Akira</i>, <i>Captain Harlock</i>, <i>Vampire Hunter D</i>, and other anime also fueled my imagination, but they pushed different buttons than the anthropomorphized machines of destruction). <i>Robotech</i> and other anime felt like the antidote to the childishness of <i>Transformers</i>. Unsurprisingly, I think the first local BBS I dialed into with my Commodore 64 was dedicated to anime, and it eventually led me to a fellow enthusiast's house from a much more affluent family than mine who owned a laser disc player and had parents who would spring for the $80-$100 discs from Japan. More often than not, though, I had to suffice myself with learning about anime in magazines, and I still have the first issues of <i>Japanimation </i>and <i>Animag </i>that I studied and scrutinized at the time. The paucity of anything anime-related in those days was real on this continent.</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimz_rZywVwTEHjiKQkzX54j1cMP2fINRYGiA7ldb322sGT3xACZAUHZF1iBPJmflmMZKDZAbPzNUzCI0BazWMubgECRdTIbbc-0_1AYHV-VSL56gf5QOhx3zQZSdzhnktbKDZrjfRrzrgqf9XR4-HtaJld8H3N0by7aEA3EL7VBDalnUkl11Y0UMODgA=s1399" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="926" data-original-width="1399" height="424" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/a/AVvXsEimz_rZywVwTEHjiKQkzX54j1cMP2fINRYGiA7ldb322sGT3xACZAUHZF1iBPJmflmMZKDZAbPzNUzCI0BazWMubgECRdTIbbc-0_1AYHV-VSL56gf5QOhx3zQZSdzhnktbKDZrjfRrzrgqf9XR4-HtaJld8H3N0by7aEA3EL7VBDalnUkl11Y0UMODgA=w640-h424" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Alas, <i>Battletech </i>the game came along just as I was starting to enter my decades-long gaming hibernation. With college, previous gaming friends began to scatter geographically, and other interests began to take precedence. Playing in bands and writing music, launching zines, writing about movies and music, working on a creative writing masters, drinking, chasing girls. Passions worth pursuing, to be sure. But in retrospect I wish I had found ways to keep gaming as a part of my life beyond lugging around multitudinous boxes of unplayed games through most of my adulthood. They felt like a reminder of a time in my life I couldn't hope or fathom might return, and in one of those great transitional upheavals--a divorce after 17 years--I <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2019/03/the-great-games-purge-tale-of-loss.html" target="_blank">parted with almost all of it</a>.</b></p><p>So, when fellow Scrummer John Sears suggested we give a game of <i>Battletech </i>a try on Tabletop Simulator during the pandemic, I was keen to see what I had missed. It was a lot of fun, and blew the dust off some of those memories of watching anime as a kid. Of course, playing a tabletop game online is approximately 50% as fun as doing so in a room with friends, so I was excited once again when John proposed to set up an in-person game for us in Scrum Hall last month. </p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Battletech: Alpha Strike</h2><p>Fortunately, we played the simplified <i>Alpha Strike</i> version of the game, because my mind isn't 16 years old anymore, and my fun comes less from the pedantry of mastering rulebook minutia than it does from knocking models about on a pretend battlefield and chucking a bunch of dice.</p><p>To be honest, a lot of the particulars of our battle escape my memory a month out from our gathering, but I know we did have five players divided into two teams: Rich, Francesco, and I ran a bunch of mechs and ground vehicles on one side, while John and Walt did the same from their half of the table. While the narrative is now lost to me, the objective was to kill half the mechs on the other side to win, or if necessary, to force a draw by destroying the ammo/fuel depot in the center of the battlefield. (I think Walt posted more of a blow-by-blow after-action report on his blog, so I'll link to that at the end of this post for the curious.)</p><p>The photos below should, however, provide a flavor of the proceedings and an appreciation for the lovely models and terrain John brought for us all to play with that evening. Most of these photos are by my wife, but a few here and there are from possibly any of us in attendance as I tend to scavenge shots from the other players' social media accounts (for that, gentlemen, I beg your indulgence and forgiveness).</p><p>In the end I will say that I had a great time, and felt like I didn't embarrass myself, keeping John on his toes for a few rounds as we vied over a strategically important hilltop perch looking out over the rest of the battlefield. I can't say I had a masterplan, per se, but I thought on my feet well enough throughout our little hilltop drama so as not to leave my comrades vulnerable to what would have been a devastating vantage point for John to secure.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

As usual, Rich's game mastery skills make him one of the most enjoyable GMs I've played with over the years. The world of <i>Numenera, </i>however<i>, </i>is exactly the kind of setting I would have disliked in my youth--I always chaffed when I picked up a fantasy novel and then half way through it was revealed that everything was built upon some future post-apocalyptic version of our own world, with magical artifacts actually being bits of old technology from our modern world. Back then I would have been pissed that somebody got peanut butter on my chocolate. Now, I actually enjoy those tropes, and they didn't detract from our one-shot wanderings in the strange environs of <i>Numenera</i>.

At 1:00 p.m. I put the board game <i><b>Battlestations</b></i> on the table, a game I bought during the pandemic in anticipation of playing with the club once we all could gather in person again. The main event, however, is always our 4:30 game, and this month the club tried another set of wargaming rules new to most of us, <i style="font-weight: bold;">To the Strongest! </i>John and Steve organized the game and taught the rest of us the rules.</p><p></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">To the Strongest!</h2><p></p><p>The Scrum Club sometimes flagellates itself for a bit of ADHD when it comes to jumping from one ruleset to the next from month to month. In the four years we've been meeting, I think we've only once played the same set of rules in two consecutive months (<i>Chainmail </i>in January and February of 2020). In fact, that's the only set of rules we've played more than once at an official Scrum Club gathering besides John's <b><a href="https://www.starschlock.com/" target="_blank">Star Schlock</a></b> rules, which we've played at several gatherings now.</p><p>While I don't regret our omnivorous appetites--it has led to us playing a lot of really cool games that we always mean to return to--it does sometimes feel like we're neglecting the opportunity to build mastery with a ruleset or construct little campaigns that would present us with opportunities for overarching narratives. </p><p>I also recognize that there are two other dimensions behind this tendency, one being that unlike a lot of other groups, we do only officially meet once a month, and so committing to playing the same system a half dozen times means committing to it for a half year! The other issue is that our group really likes to game master at conventions, and so we're often in a situation where one of us needs to playtest a scenario or set of rules in the forgiving environs of Scrum Hall before trotting it out at a con for strangers. Invariably when HistoriCon or Barrage approaches, we often see the Scrum Club's dance card fill up in the preceding two or three months as several of us try to finalize and playtest games we want to run at those events.</p><p>We've decided, however, to buck that trend after getting in a game of <i>To the Strongest</i> last weekend by immediately scheduling it for October, too. Nobody had claimed the October slot yet, and we also all really enjoyed these rules. They were very quick to pick up, and I could see with even more familiarity that future games could make good on the book cover's promise of "fast-moving."</p><p>That said, we didn't actually get through a full game on Saturday, but it did feel like things were moving along at a decent clip for most of the night, with lots of dramatic back-and-forths in the action. If anything, the game might be a bit too swingy for some, but that tendency actually made for some of the most memorable moments of the evening.</p><p>The basic mechanics of the game simplify and abstract a lot of details that can bog down other rulesets. Movement is conducted on a grid (so no rulers) and every player has a card deck that takes care of everything from unit activation to combat. It all felt very intuitive, and freed us up from getting too bogged down in adjudicating the edge cases that sometimes crop up.</p><p>The rules are designed for "ancients and medieval wargaming," and the figures Steve and John had on hand put us squarely in the medieval era. It's always fun playing with the figures those two gentlemen put on the table. I liked the rules enough that I bought my own copy of the game and immediately started researching to see if anybody had started down the path of making it playable with fantasy armies. Some industrious gamers have been doing just that, and have generously been sharing the fruits of that labor in an unofficial supplement they're calling <a href="https://ttsm2.co.uk/m2/?fbclid=IwAR1Y30aVBc01TQ65wivwV3T6d1n7piSxhD1SiCFvDSQTwJnAmhUtG_VX0-U" target="_blank"><b>To the Strongest: Monsters and Magic</b></a> free on a dedicated website. </p><p>In addition to <b><a href="http://1000footgeneral.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">John</a></b>, Steve, and myself, Francesco, Rich, and <b><a href="http://zenopusarchives.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Zach</a> </b>rounded out the players, making for a fun three-on-three game.</p><p>I frankly don't remember the particulars of the scenario, but the objective was basically to kill and route the other army. Good enough for me!</p><span style="color: #666666;"><b><i>Note on photos:</i></b> The below photos are not a recreation of the unfolding action in the game but rather a smattering of shots at various points to provide a flavor of the proceedings.

In all honesty, the only overt RPG-like elements are the fact that you can play short "campaigns" of linked games in which the players' characters can accumulate experience, skill, and gear from one game to the next. There aren't any real opportunities for role playing outside of impersonating your favorite<i> Star Trek</i> or <i>Star Wars</i> characters as you send your pieces scurrying around the board.</p><p>One of the genuinely neat aspects of the game is that it takes place on two boards, one of which represents the action on the "macro" level in which your starship navigates through space contending with asteroids, planets, photon torpedoes, and other starships, while another modularly constructed board represents the "micro" level, that is, the floorplan of your actual starship (and sometimes an adversary's) via an interconnected grouping of tiles that represent your engine room, helm, sick bay, torpedo room, etc. It is on this board that your little 28mm characters run about the ship attempting to navigate it toward some objective without being destroyed in the process.</p><p>I played the putative "GM" while the heroes were played by Rich, Francesco, John, and Josh (who contributed painted versions of the miniatures from his own set of the game). I don't think I'd want to play it with fewer than this number of players, and one of the things that attracted me to the game in the first place is that it purportedly accommodates up to nine players. </p><p>We had a good time with the game, and it was the first time trying it for everybody but Rich, who had played the first edition a few times several years ago. We started with the introductory mission, finished it fairly quickly, and started the second mission. That's when the wheels started to come off a bit, taking some of the shine off of this game for me. </p><p>The core box required to play doesn't actually come with a full rulebook, but rather a few pages of "starter" rules and eight "teaching" scenarios. On the face of it, that's not a terrible approach to this sort of thing. Unfortunately, that "starter" booklet is rife with ambiguities, omissions, and flat out errors. I thought I had perhaps caught them all when I took the extra time to print out the three-page errata sheet I found online and cut and pasted lots of clarifications and corrections directly into my copy of the starter rulebook, but even then there were some problems with core terminology that made the second mission impossible for the players if played as written.</p><p>These problems with the starter set rules are particularly irksome for anybody who bought this $100 game in the hopes of having a smooth experience right out of the box. I even watched three preparatory videos on running it before game day to try to ensure a bump-free ride, and we were still thwarted. To get the full experience of this game (and presumably a better edited set of the rules) you need to buy a $60 hardback sold as the "Advanced Edition" of <i>Battlestations</i>. That's $160 right there just to play the game as intended. And if you want some small plastic ships to put on the outer space board instead of cardboard chits, that'll cost you another $20. It all feels pretty cheeky on the part of Gorilla Games, the manufacturer. I bought all three straight from the game's designer because I wanted to support his efforts, but after my first attempt at playing the game, I wish I'd shopped around and saved a few bucks.</p><p>By later trawling the Board Game Geek message forums we were able to tease out an answer to the problem we (and apparently several others) had with the rules nomenclature and how it undermined our attempt to play the Mission 2 scenario. Given that fundamental level of frustration, you'd think we might be ready to give up, but we're going to give it all another go. There is obviously a really fun game in this concept, and I'm hoping that chucking the starter rules and familiarizing myself with the "Advanced" rulebook will help us find that fun. </p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

I'll report back on how we fare with our second game of <b><i>To the Strongest!</i></b> I'm hoping we have as much fun the second go 'round as we did this month with those rules.

It'll take quite a bit of playing and tinkering with these mission cards (each team chooses three, and then uses or discards them in different ways as the game proceeds) to get the kinks worked out, but they are already quite promising. It's a mechanism unlike any I've encountered, and it addresses some of the concerns we had in <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2021/08/star-schlockthe-continuing-adventures.html" target="_blank"><b>the last playtest game</b></a> around mission objectives. </p><p>A simpler version of this asymmetrical missions mechanism was part of the very first playtest game I did with John about three years ago, and then it disappeared from most subsequent playtests. It's fun to see a new iteration come back into play.</p><p>My pal <a href="http://mars-miniatures.blogspot.com/2015/04/an-expedition-to-reclaim-moria.html" target="_blank"><b>Mar R.</b></a> and I played the space villains while <a href="http://1000footgeneral.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><b>John</b></a> and Steve B. played the forces of good. Mar and I opted to concentrate on a mission objective that allowed us to score points by tracking down the diplomats in this space port, convincing them to come with us ("if you want to live") to our home sector. I think John and Steve pursued a couple of different mission objectives throughout the game, including one in which they scored points for shooting the shit out of me and Mar.</p><i>Note on photos: </i>The below photos are not a recreation of the unfolding action in the game but rather a smattering of shots at various points to provide a flavor of the proceedings.

As I've mentioned in recent posts, the pandemic built up such a demand for in-person gaming amongst the Scrummers that we've expanded the itinerary from a single miniatures game that we start around 4:30 to now include an additional game at 1:00 p.m. as a prelude of sorts to the main event. The earlier game has a bit of a shorter time allotment (we have to start and finish within roughly three hours), and we allow for board games and RPG one-offs to hit the table in this first slot (the "headliner" 4:30 game will almost always remain a miniatures game of some sort).</p><p>Since starting to meet in person again this past May, the first game of the day has been a board game (<i>GKR: Heavy Hitters </i>twice) or an RPG. Last month Rich M. ran a great game of <i>Traveller</i>-cum-<i>Thieves' World</i>, and this month Jared S. had us try a game of <i>Blades in the Dark</i>, which I believe was new to all of us, including Jared the GM.</p><p><i>Blades in the Dark</i>, as some may know, falls more in the "story" game category, with much of the scenario and unfolding action becoming the responsibility of the players rather than the GM. While I know these games have been around for a while, it's only my second time playing one of these paradigm-subverting rulesets, the first being <i>Dungeon World</i> around a decade ago. I can't really count my <i>Dungeon World </i>experience, though, because the GM of that game hadn't really wrapped his head around how to run the system as intended, and it ended up feeling like a weirdly unsatisfying traditional role playing game.</p><p>I'm not sure I'm a fan of this sort of RPG, but I'm trying to reserve judgment. It certainly seems easy to run from the GM perspective, that's for sure, and it's probably great for a table full of frustrated, wannabe GMs. I like a certain amount of cohesion and consistency of tone, theme, and narrative in my RPG settings and scenarios, and "story games" tend to throw that out the window, from my admittedly limited experience. I like the "authorial voice" of a GM or a well-crafted module. And certain mechanics, like the "flashback" in <i>Blades in the Dark</i>, seem to short-circuit some of the narrative tension a traditional system and GM can orchestrate over the course of a scene or vignette.</p><p>Misgivings aside, I actually had a fun time with the game, and it's probably unfair to judge it based on this one-off mission we played. The designers have obviously focused a lot of thoughtful attention on its version of an experience point/leveling system, and the game clearly is designed to foster players creating long overarching plots and byzantine subplots that could only happen over a series of consecutive games. Negotiating all of that as one player/storyteller among many at the table might prove as vexing as exhilarating, especially if not everyone at the table shares the same sensibilities. This past Saturday, however, it was more of the latter, and I'm really glad we gave it a try.</p><p>Let's move on to the headliner game...</p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Star Schlock</h2><p>Both me personally and the Scrum Club as a group have been playtesting versions of <i><a href="https://www.starschlock.com/" target="_blank"><b>Star Schlock</b></a></i> for 2-3 years now, and it remains fun and challenging. The basic mechanics are locked in and run quite well, and now John S. (the game's designer) is trying to add some important elements such as designing scenarios with rational victory point scoring.</p><p>This was an unusually large game of <i>Star Schlock</i>, with seven players running four factions on the table. John, the eighth of us in attendance for this second Saturday, sat out and acted as referee. One of the pleasures this past weekend was getting to play with many of the new figures John sculpted and is about to take into mass production to fulfill the really <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/star-schlock-astros/star-schlock-astroguards-miniatures?ref=discovery&term=Star%20Schlock%20Astroguards" target="_blank"><b>successful Kickstarter</b></a> he ran a few months back.</p><p>Even with this many teams and players, the game still moves along at a swift clip, and battles prove fun and deadly. Poor Jared and his visiting brother Jason started in between Rich and Walt's team and my and Francesco's team, and so their units pretty quickly started to crumple from the pressure. Important scenario design lessons were learned...though in fairness the limitations of physical table space compounded by the large number of players who attended made scenario balance a challenge.</p><p>The points assigned to various teams, who all had asymmetric missions, was a bit out of whack, with the Necronauts played by Steve B.--who everybody assumed, including Steve, had fared poorly--somehow ending up beating every other team by a magnitude of two or three once the points were tallied. My teammate Francesco and I felt all game long that we had done at least as well and likely better than everyone else and were baffled when the point tally at the end of the final round put us close to last. But, again, this is why you playtest, and it certainly didn't detract one iota from the fun time we had moving these great miniatures across John's always-impressive tabletop tableaus.</p><p><i>A Note on the Photos:</i> My wife Ellen was under the weather and wasn't able to take any photos this past Saturday, so 90% or more of these are by my far inferior hand (a couple might have been stolen from Walt's Facebook feed, though it's hard for me to say which ones, alas). As usual, click any of them to enlarge.</p><div><br /></div><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlHD0rp3sCVUT-541S8FmHo65Wzrcp7hpw3rWkYvo2DggiXbaha7QfEzp8zFWQQpo9nWu2Tw1X8j4MHq3DeohGhvc-xLRqcrpFGv-umtin_CfRoTgzNGLCyR6W0uj9EsIsbsiyy0pprUu2/s2048/1a.jpg" style="margin-left: auto;

It was a tribute to a friend out in San Francisco that I thought I had in all likelihood lost forever. As I recounted in that post, communications with Mar had ended abruptly, with the months of silence eventually broken by a cousin who contacted me to say that Mar had had a "stroke" and had lost much of his vision. </p><p>I came to learn later the reality was even worse. He had suffered from an undiagnosed heart condition that led to an aortic dissection, better described as a simultaneous stroke <i>and </i>heart attack in terms of how deadly and ravaging to the body it is. Most people die from the rapid internal bleeding from this literal tear that spontaneously occurs in the heart, as was the case with John Ritter back in 2003 at age 54. </p><p>It's hard to overstate my surprise when this past June, more than a year after hearing from Mar's cousin and at least two years since my last correspondence with Mar himself, that I received an email from him from a new Gmail account. He caught me up on his recent health saga, explaining how he had not only lost much of his vision, but also much of his motor coordination, some speech, and some cognitive sharpness. He had spent more than a year in rehabilitation and therapy, slowly building back his ability to walk unassisted (albeit still slowly), and with time a fair amount of his sight began to return and the brain "fog" started to slowly dissipate.</p><p>He had recently relocated to Miami, but was looking for someplace else to settle for the next stretch of his journey. I was delighted when he chose the Washington, D.C. metro area, moving here in June. Until now, my friendship with Mar had been a long-distance one, but now we'd have a chance to actually meet in person and even game together. I always loved reading about Mar's games on his blog over the years, and knew he was a kindred spirit in this regard.</p><p>When I invited him over to the house a couple of Saturday's back for our first-ever game together, I wanted to get something on the table that I felt we could pick up quickly and was confident would be fun. I settled on my thoroughly playtested adaptation of the Conan yarn "Beyond the Black River" using my modified version of the <i>Sellswords & Spellslingers</i> rules. This was the <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2018/07/historicon-2018-running-my-first.html" target="_blank">first convention game I had ever run</a></b>, and I've now game mastered it at several more such events. This time, though, with a smaller group of players than usual--Peter M. and Steve B. joined us for the afternoon--I ended up participating as a player, running it as a cooperative game (as the <i>SS&SS</i> rules are actually designed to be played).</p><p>It was the first time I got to play this game on the player side, and I had a lot of fun. The game proved just as deadly as usual (maybe even a bit more so!), with lots of casualties on the players' side. We did, however, succeed in freeing one of the two captives and getting him off to safety.</p><p>It was tremendous finally sitting at a table with my friend Mar after all of these years. He seemed to really enjoy the game and the fellowship of likeminded gamers. I'm looking forward to lots of future games with him now that he has fought his way back from the brink and lives in the area. </p><p>I've been learning from Mar since the day I met him, and that hasn't stopped. One day on the phone recently I asked him how he was doing. "Okay," he said without much inflection. "<i>Just </i>'okay'?" I gently pressed. "Given where I was 18 months ago, 'Okay' is great," he responded. That's a perspective I know I could benefit from reminding myself of.</p><p style="text-align: center;"><b>---------------------</b></p><p>And now for my semi-boilerplate disclaimer: The below photos are not a recreation of the unfolding action in the game but rather a smattering of shots at various points to provide a flavor of the proceedings.

We found each other quite companionable in terms of the games we both enjoyed and our approaches to making them fun for ourselves and our respective game groups. Within a couple of years, though, all of that changed.</p><p>Now Mr. Todoroff is a game designing maverick, churning out three games and multiple supplements for them in the past two to three years. I guess I shouldn't be too surprised given that he was a disciplined, prolific novelist before ever turning his pen to game design. That facility with narrative is likely one of the things that made us so simpatico in the gaming discussions we had online over the years.</p><p>I was excited for Patrick when Osprey published his great <i>Stalker</i>-inspired <i>Zona Alfa</i> rules, and it seemed like it was no time at all before he'd published <i><b><a href="https://stalker7.com/hardwired/" target="_blank">Exploit Zero</a></b></i> (renamed from the original <i>Hardwired </i>as a result of some stupid legal threats from another author). I have a print copy of <i>Hardwired </i>that may, I suppose, become a collector's item as Patrick's star continues to rise in the gaming firmament.</p><p>But games are meant for playing, not storing away as an investment, and that's just what fellow Scrummer Josh O'Connor and I did about a week ago when he brought over all of the miniatures and terrain we'd need to give the game a whirl. I admit that cyberpunk isn't a genre I've been drawn to--in comics, prose, or games--and so I had to rely on Josh a bit to help get me up to speed on some of the tropes. That didn't take too long, aided by the fact that I didn't have to spend a lot of time mastering the basic core mechanics of Todoroff's game engine. </p><p>The game itself is genuinely easy to pick up and fast to play on the table. More importantly, however, is that it is fun. In no time we were moving our cyberpunk miniatures into action, fighting off foes and abducting a scientist we were paid to retrieve. Like a lot of co-op games (say, for example, <i>Sellswords & Spellslingers</i>), the body count is quite high, as we dispatched the first couple of waves of enemies without much sweat. Things by design did get progressively harder, however, and by the end, though we had accomplished the mission, it didn't happen without suffering some casualties on our side. </p><p>We played the intro mission, and I'm anxious to try some of the subsequent missions to see how the game introduces interesting complications to what is an already solid formula. I'm not sure I'll ever warm enough to the cyberpunk genre to be inspired to buy and paint my own figures, but at the moment Josh seems to have enough to keep us covered going forward.</p><p>And to my good fortune, I'm not stuck playing this game <i>only </i>in a cyberpunk universe. Patrick has released an iteration called <i>Nightwatch </i>that takes place in a fantasy setting. The core mechanics seem to be almost identical but reskinned for hunting and fighting monsters in a quasi-medieval milieu. Half the Scrum Club has already expressed an interest in giving <i>Nightwatch </i>a go.</p><p>And now for my boilerplate disclaimer that the below photos are not a recreation of the unfolding action in the game but rather a smattering of shots at various points to give one a flavor for the proceedings. All of these photos are by Josh and myself, as my wife Ellen--our usual photographer--was indisposed. <span style="color: #666666;">(Click any photos to enlarge.)</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">EXPLOIT ZERO</h2><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLR0rrdsIT4zBY-Wi2ieEB_UC_egC1Q6gLiZLP1uMlqws-xqQ-fHJkoTYO67qUrm7c0lZKPSShe26Pf3WPEcfBxFwT9LOxtgCJTMvCKq06fshFHTF1bBdLZWSNhyBoLZmDmfRIQKd4T-G/s2048/1.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFLR0rrdsIT4zBY-Wi2ieEB_UC_egC1Q6gLiZLP1uMlqws-xqQ-fHJkoTYO67qUrm7c0lZKPSShe26Pf3WPEcfBxFwT9LOxtgCJTMvCKq06fshFHTF1bBdLZWSNhyBoLZmDmfRIQKd4T-G/w480-h640/1.jpg" width="480" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Josh setting up his terrain and minis for the game at Scrum Hall.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3SIHLHROt0vfVO9_Te3SEOv1VX3gVx0kjrWJ9EnnHDZw-aU2ZvYJ9l9S3QltWCyQVacmIM9fsgto5cxLF3hB61kRoQeyA0EpFldrstskPhrxdE5sbAWpb55Pbje4WQQLsgcWyeEsvPld7/s960/2.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="720" data-original-width="960" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3SIHLHROt0vfVO9_Te3SEOv1VX3gVx0kjrWJ9EnnHDZw-aU2ZvYJ9l9S3QltWCyQVacmIM9fsgto5cxLF3hB61kRoQeyA0EpFldrstskPhrxdE5sbAWpb55Pbje4WQQLsgcWyeEsvPld7/w640-h480/2.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9dx77mgTxVCVL03f9QRKoHSdK9bGT7Z7Z0Zf4AN6RgAqr1qxpTgN5mDLUxFDq__15iGusYaqXEVtX3B6t0qJk-m5Xz939ifP3JQkI_GENVgMRql28KQHwMDig__nAd76RH4hsLv5T7-m7/s2048/2b.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1886" data-original-width="2048" height="590" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi9dx77mgTxVCVL03f9QRKoHSdK9bGT7Z7Z0Zf4AN6RgAqr1qxpTgN5mDLUxFDq__15iGusYaqXEVtX3B6t0qJk-m5Xz939ifP3JQkI_GENVgMRql28KQHwMDig__nAd76RH4hsLv5T7-m7/w640-h590/2b.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAs7EQqnzxdpMJqgFEKCFIxb2LMZdHu3m39UnuH1XWs4824UrJvnyuwZY8rj1oLaQyo0-aRAMpqzTRpsPb1M3AKTaLtGdwJlV9HBoQZrgWnrVY7Mpt4VQ6xbTHY2IIZ_NWBi_jO0cxc8X/s2048/3.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgWAs7EQqnzxdpMJqgFEKCFIxb2LMZdHu3m39UnuH1XWs4824UrJvnyuwZY8rj1oLaQyo0-aRAMpqzTRpsPb1M3AKTaLtGdwJlV9HBoQZrgWnrVY7Mpt4VQ6xbTHY2IIZ_NWBi_jO0cxc8X/w640-h480/3.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This was the scientist and his bodyguards.

If I couldn't, I would almost certainly skip doing a post on <i>Exploit Zero</i> at all, and quietly tuck away the game and move on.</p><p style="text-align: left;">I have a soft spot for co-op games. I don't particularly enjoy solo gaming, per se, but it's nice sometimes to have an opportunity to sit around the table with friends and all be pulling together in the same direction rather than against one another. <i>Rangers of Shadow Deep</i> never engaged me or my imagination like it did for many others, and until now<i><b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2018/04/all-together-now-sellswords.html" target="_blank"> Sellswords & Spellslingers</a></b></i> was the only co-op game that really pushed my buttons. Now I can add <i>Exploit Zero</i> to the list (and almost undoubtedly <i>Nightwatch</i>, as well).

Steve Braun and Josh O'Connor both have the summer months off from work and live close enough that they joined in for a rare weeknight wargame.</p><p>Peter had taken note of my earlier write-up in which I expressed a desire to try out the <i>Blood & Plunder</i> ship rules to see if I could appropriate and adapt them to the sword & planet skirmish game I'm working on that will feature lots of airship battles and boarding actions in the skies of Mars, so for this game he concocted a scenario that would allow us to do just that. Steve, Josh, and I each helmed a pirate ship sailing toward a Chinese fort full of spices we hoped to plunder before the other had the chance. Peter gamely played the Chinese spice hoarders.</p><p>One of the highlights this particular evening occurred by happenstance: Peter brought a shore mat but had forgotten to pack his ocean mat. This allowed me to offer up for use the combined shore-and-ocean mat I had commissioned shortly before the pandemic. It had yet to make it to the table for any gaming, so I was excited to see this hand-crafted mat in action. </p><p>It was good fun, and the ship rules would work well enough transplanted to Mars with some streamlining and tweaking. I'll definitely look elsewhere for the skirmish rules, though: I want something that is focused more on man-to-man combats rather than unit-on-unit, which is how <i>Blood & Plunder</i> organizes its fights. I'm a little surprised that the rules eschew swashbuckling and derring-do in favor of the more abstract (and traditional) five-man squads being thrown into battle. The latter allows the game not to bog down, but it definitely feels less thematic.</p><p>Here are a few photos of the game, more to capture the spirit of the night than serve as an actual after-action report. My wife Ellen, our Scrum Club's official combat photographer, had the night off, so these photos are by me and Peter. <span style="color: #666666;">(Click on any of them to enlarge.)</span></p><h2 style="text-align: left;">Blood & Plunder</h2><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEnHt0UJohdK4Pzk0p4FXZBtyAE8-0KEu7x4FniXuIkUos-8fSrp93r75ZTWf__SEkFmqxXd-gl6DfWT3Dj6NsGhTIOb2qdr4FUZdJWJe1v0qUmlw863PrbpeZ-1Tg5_bza1sQekqK-kBs/s2048/1.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhEnHt0UJohdK4Pzk0p4FXZBtyAE8-0KEu7x4FniXuIkUos-8fSrp93r75ZTWf__SEkFmqxXd-gl6DfWT3Dj6NsGhTIOb2qdr4FUZdJWJe1v0qUmlw863PrbpeZ-1Tg5_bza1sQekqK-kBs/w640-h480/1.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Peter setting up the game and explaining the scenario.

He and Josh had no such agreement and spent much of the game blasting one another. I did eventually get to shore and started taking shots at the men in the fort, but the hour was late, and everybody had to start their treks home before we could lay proper siege to the fort. Ships move a bit slowly in <i>Blood & Plunder</i>, which makes sense in terms of keeping these vessels engaged with each other and not speeding off the play table. But my truce meant I was doing nothing but inching my way toward shore for most of the game, which was less than thrilling for me. Next time if I'm in a similar situation I'll just let loose with a fusillade from the start and let the chips fall where they may.</p><p>A special thanks to Peter for bringing all of his gear over for another great evening of gaming and holding our hands through the rules. I always appreciate it when somebody graces my table with all of their amazingly crafted figures and terrain, and Peter does it up right!</p><p><br /></p><p></p><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">============================================</span></b></div><b><div style="text-align: center;"><b><span style="color: #cc0000;">==========================</span></b></div></b><p></p>Joe Procopiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08877692244537194278noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-412156935427062220.post-47129196152706452302021-07-20T13:05:00.012-04:002021-08-04T11:45:05.261-04:00Oathmark with a side of Thieves' World-cum-Traveller<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGoOYETnVDvj76sRD1zoxNAMLdMIRslA_4ifKQFM3VXQuN_gDgK-AfwQ1RhE-Ta_jsodzU27b6JdhyphenhyphenFXQ3sy96gOBTc1sQKqe7xzQROjgIjFxzTNOWsfDD_ynWZZX6i6RY7mMLaJZXtOvz/s2048/0.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGoOYETnVDvj76sRD1zoxNAMLdMIRslA_4ifKQFM3VXQuN_gDgK-AfwQ1RhE-Ta_jsodzU27b6JdhyphenhyphenFXQ3sy96gOBTc1sQKqe7xzQROjgIjFxzTNOWsfDD_ynWZZX6i6RY7mMLaJZXtOvz/w640-h480/0.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br /></div><p>How do you ready yourself for an eight-player mass battle game like <i>Oathmark</i>? The Scrum Club's answer is to start the day with a one-off game of <i>Thieves' World</i>-cum-<i>Traveller</i>.</p><p>Our hunger for games and camaraderie built to near bursting during the pandemic, so now the <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/p/second-saturday-scrum-club.html" target="_blank">Second Saturday Scrum Club</a></b> is making up for lost time by scheduling two games on the appointed date, the first at 1:00 p.m. and the main event at 4:30 (as per tradition).</p><p>The day kicked off with a smaller subset of the group gathering in Scrum Hall for Rich McKee to address what he took as a personal challenge. In a fairly <a href="https://thegrognardfiles.com/2019/10/23/episode-32-thieves-world/" target="_blank">recent episode</a> of the <i>Grognard Files</i> dedicated to Chaosium's <i>Thieves' World</i>, Dirk the Dice and Blythy dismissively chortled at one particular detail in the original rules: the authors included guidelines for making <i>Thieves' World</i> compatible with nine (!) other contemporary RPGs, including <i>Traveller</i>. </p><p>The gauntlet had been thrown, and Rich couldn't ignore it.</p><p>As a result, the Scrum Club spent the afternoon last Saturday landing our space craft on the planet colloquially known as Thieves' World. We weren't supposed to be there, but neither was the Zhodani agent we were sent to neutralize. We touched down in a secluded patch a few miles outside of a city called Sanctuary, and were told to go find a contact named One Thumb who had been cultivated by our intergalactic handlers. We could find One Thumb in a part of the city known as the Maze...supposedly he was the proprietor of a tavern called the Vulgar Unicorn. The catch? We couldn't bring any of our advanced technology with us and had to equip ourselves with the world's quasi-medieval tools and weapons.</p><p>Well...if you have any familiarity with <i>Thieves' World</i>, the game or the fiction, you should get some sense of our session's flavor. Rich did a great job of kitbashing the two milieus together, and it was a enjoyable one-off that let me check two boxes: I'm going to claim I've now played <i>Traveller </i>and <i>Thieves' World</i>, both for the first time.</p><p>Take that, Dirk!</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifF7O2xcctepeo_XLjX_uWjuSpOOWfn_YpW5X329wWaEI0_rd8MK6DsOGhe0Fj4DJ6BRRV1-9EElnUE2aEvzlys5fWDVpQoN0nwPUcr6-dbRd0cagd9l0djyKTeVJboqMvV6Rq-rm3Sat-/s2048/Photo+Jul+17%252C+4+20+33+PM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEifF7O2xcctepeo_XLjX_uWjuSpOOWfn_YpW5X329wWaEI0_rd8MK6DsOGhe0Fj4DJ6BRRV1-9EElnUE2aEvzlys5fWDVpQoN0nwPUcr6-dbRd0cagd9l0djyKTeVJboqMvV6Rq-rm3Sat-/w640-h480/Photo+Jul+17%252C+4+20+33+PM.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN3Lr_2pSH2ka9IsXkJOxIQN9Qy2L0M6IN7CkhctZ0y4uOMfx4wOC3T6wS0OlLqJJffVH2qK_Y9QlpQhlrNyOqM2qUr4p9VdfuAe9CHqDbUXDH_ormrDCIfzcODaA0miiuJQ7m1Vd26IGp/s2048/Photo+Jul+17%252C+4+21+54+PM.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1151" data-original-width="2048" height="360" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiN3Lr_2pSH2ka9IsXkJOxIQN9Qy2L0M6IN7CkhctZ0y4uOMfx4wOC3T6wS0OlLqJJffVH2qK_Y9QlpQhlrNyOqM2qUr4p9VdfuAe9CHqDbUXDH_ormrDCIfzcODaA0miiuJQ7m1Vd26IGp/w640-h360/Photo+Jul+17%252C+4+21+54+PM.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><i>left to right</i>: Rich (our intrepid GM), Francesco, Jared, Jason, Steve, and Joe ensconced in Scrum Hall.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><h2 style="text-align: left;">OATHMARK</h2><p>As we rolled toward 4:30, John Sears and Walt O'Hara darkened Scrum Hall's doors, Walt carrying about half of the figures we were going to need for our <i>Oathmark </i>mass battle.</p><p>Setting up hundreds of figures took a while, but once we were ready we divided ourselves up between the two armies, letting feigned enmities dictate who we wanted to sit next to or opposite of for the grand conflict about to unfold.</p><p>Walt had been painting <i>Oathmark </i>armies like an obsessed hermit throughout the pandemic, and when combined with Steve's decades-in-the-making collection of miniatures, we had two beautiful armies to play with for the night.</p><p>Here's the highly allusive narrative Steve wrote to underpin the proceedings, with references to everything from the county I live in to my wife Ellen. It was clever, and I appreciated the extra effort.</p><i><span style="color: #0b5394;">"The holdings of Ellendale are once again threatened by the forces of the Belted Way followers. A battle is surely brewing in the Plains of Montgoco. The spy’s of the Belted Way have discovered that the Silver Spring, near the Plains of Montgoco, may grant special blessing to those that bathe in its waters. The troops of the Belted Way hope to receive those gifts as the battle approaches!"</span></i><p>For some of us, this was our second experience with <i>Oathmark</i> (our first being the <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2021/05/scrum-club-in-person-command-performance.html" target="_blank">May gathering</a>), but this time we were playing in a setting more in keeping with what the game's creator had in mind (that is, instead of the Hyborian Age of our previous go 'round). The opposing forces in this game were of the classical fantasy sort--undead, necromancers, and orc minions on one side facing off against humans, elves, and dwarves on the other.</p><p>As always, with eight folks in the game, trying to reconstruct any sort of narrative is beyond the scope of this post. I will say that I played a unit of heavy cavalry, dwarf 'linebreakers,' and an arch-priestess whose divine intercessions bolstered the morale and courage of the troops. I took care of a far end of the battlefield, tasked with preventing the enemy from breaking the line and making their way off my corner of the battlefield.</p><p>In the end, the forces of good prevailed, but mostly because of a lucky last-ditch charge by Jared's light cavalry into the enemy's exposed necromancer. The charge was meant as a final act of defiance, a vainglorious gesture by the much weakened cavalry unit as we appeared to be on the cusp of certain defeat. What we didn't know was that killing the necromancer meant all of the undead troops arrayed against us would collapse into bones and dust when we sent that necromancer back to oblivion. </p><p>We were gobsmacked when more than half the opposing army was reduced to an inanimate heap on the field. That's the stuff of epic poems, right there...</p><p>So, the photos below are not in any sort of chorological order; they're presented to give you a flavor of the game and the fun we had. Most of the photos are by my adorable wife Ellen, the Scrum Club's official Combat Photographer. Any of middling quality are almost certainly taken by myself or others in the group.

From what I've read, they seem quite well thought out and fun. Not sure if everybody in the group, though, loved the basic <i>Oathmark </i>rules enough to want to commit to a campaign, but maybe a smaller subset of the members will want to try a mini-campaign on a day other than when the club officially meets.

I'm not even sure if it was gaming that brought us together because the first time I actually met him was when he swung by my <a href="https://picturethispress.com/" target="_blank"><b>Lost Art Books</b></a> booth at the Small Press Expo a few years back. I confess, I'm not sure if it was a mutual friend or a mutual love of comics that brought us into each other's orbit, but whatever the circumstances, I'm the luckier for it.</p><p>I first gleaned that Peter was the type of person I'd enjoy gaming with when I caught a glimpse of his <i>Mad Max: Fury Road</i> game at one of the HMGS conventions a few years back. The crafting was top notch, and he was clearly committed as a game master to ensuring his players were all having a good time, which they obviously were. The game was large, with around a dozen players, and Peter was savvy enough to know he needed a co-GM, his pal and now mine Jeff Hoffman, to keep it all running fast and smooth. Here are some photos from when he ran it at our <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/03/scrum-con-2020-leap-forward.html" target="_blank"><b>Scrum Con 2020</b></a>...</p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxu5GNky7RC8YcUizv-GHKacrzT8W_ge6NSfWT7QoctdeUbh-S2rEQVpcrFP8qIH0fB6AP2bcqO8AXaIbXv1sQzvmVtjmGLCHkmtc3I4GZ5GJPMUT9VgA-msq1gZK9BwTOAw3mf2FGxQq/s1600/Photo+Feb+29%252C+12+24+25+PM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1600" data-original-width="1280" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEguxu5GNky7RC8YcUizv-GHKacrzT8W_ge6NSfWT7QoctdeUbh-S2rEQVpcrFP8qIH0fB6AP2bcqO8AXaIbXv1sQzvmVtjmGLCHkmtc3I4GZ5GJPMUT9VgA-msq1gZK9BwTOAw3mf2FGxQq/w512-h640/Photo+Feb+29%252C+12+24+25+PM.jpg" width="512" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL6cOkOvzbX_c0JpDN8VKgACLkcLOCV4p89ME9fZY1Vhog1ZHCCUFFqoLAJ3QjP2NQlQz8WOggBPRt7DzKGE1wIkQJbDvDDmqSJP5Rx9K7RoBI5AClN_LtgHD3WvQYgRTk8TtHvnQVKph4/s1600/DSC09935.JPG" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1067" data-original-width="1600" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiL6cOkOvzbX_c0JpDN8VKgACLkcLOCV4p89ME9fZY1Vhog1ZHCCUFFqoLAJ3QjP2NQlQz8WOggBPRt7DzKGE1wIkQJbDvDDmqSJP5Rx9K7RoBI5AClN_LtgHD3WvQYgRTk8TtHvnQVKph4/w640-h426/DSC09935.JPG" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Despite knowing each other for a few years and having attended many of the same conventions, I've only had the chance to game with Peter a handful of times. So when he reached out to get a game set up after we were both vaccinated, I was excited for the opportunity. He had a slew of games he wanted to run, but we settled on <i><b>Blood & Plunder</b></i>, for which he had recently pulled together the miniatures and terrain. I had been wanting to give the rules a try after seeing all of the cool posts on fellow Scrummer <a href="https://1000footgeneral.blogspot.com/2017/06/blood-and-plunder-first-thoughts.html" target="_blank"><b>John Sears' blog</b></a> in years past, and my curiosity was piqued further by the game's ship-to-ship combat rules, which I am hoping I might appropriate and adapt for a sword-and-planet game project I'm slowly cobbling together. </p><p>To round things out, I invited fellow pals Francesco Nesci and Keith Sloan over for the afternoon. That pushed us one player over the number Peter designed to scenario to accommodate, so he graciously offered to GM the day's fun for us.</p><p>The details of the scenario are now a bit blurred, but I played the French who were sitting in their fortifications atop a pile of gold, wine, and spices, all ripe for the plundering by Keith's and Francesco's pirate scum. We didn't actually get to use any vessel rules, but hopefully in a future game we'll give them a go.</p><p>In addition to the cannon fire from atop my fortifications, as the roll of the die would have it, Francesco's pirates also had to contend with a giant alligator lurking through the swampy terrain surrounding my fort. It's little touches like this that add to the fun, in my opinion, and Peter is definitely all about amping up the opportunities for fun. He's the kind of GM who will procure props like pirate hats and eye patches for all of the players to wear during the game, and I gladly wore my tricorn as I scowled and cursed the afternoon away. </p><p>The photos below are meant to give you a flavor of the proceedings and not any sort of chorological battle report. Suffice to say that at the end of the day, while I beat back Keith's plunderers, I was eventually overrun by Francesco's men, who made off with my gold and wine casks, reveling drunkenly on to their next piratical escapade.</p><p>As usual, the good photos below are by my wife Ellen, the Scrum Club's official combat photographer, and the poor ones are by me.

I was surprised that combat was organized around several man units rather than swashbuckling sword duels and the like, but it ultimately didn't detract from the fun. I'm especially looking forward to trying out boarding actions between ships and the like in a future game. Firelock Games frequently attends as a vendor at various conventions, and they often have a box of "castoffs"--ships that came out of the molds slightly "off," ultimately not passing the company's quality control standards. I've bought three or four of these now, and am even come close to having them table ready, so hopefully we'll get a chance to try out the ship-to-ship combat rules sometime soon.</p><p>A big thanks to Peter again who hauled all of his stuff over to Scrum Hall (my dining room) for the day's game.

I got to see some friends in attendance who I haven't been able to hug and toss dice with in about 15 months, and it was a beautiful thing. </p><p>We ended up with six of the nine Scrummers in attendance, and <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2021/05/scrum-club-in-person-command-performance.html" target="_blank">like last month</a>, we've made it an all-day affair with back-to-back games.</p><h3 style="text-align: left;">GKR: Heavy Hitters</h3><p>Sadly, Rich fell under the weather at the last minute and had to back out of GMing the <i>Thieves' World</i> role-playing game he had planned for the 1:00 p.m. slot, so I set up <i>GKR: Heavy Hitters</i> to keep us occupied until the main event at 4:30. </p><p>I had played <i>Giant Killer Robots: Heavy Hitters</i> twice before in the past month, once with John Sears and the second time for a rare weeknight game with Josh O'Connor. I was excited to put the game through its paces with four players instead of two, and I will say it is much deadlier with the additional players. There are two ways to win the game: either be the last robot standing, or tag and claim four buildings for demolition. The previous two games had both ended with one side tagging and demolishing four buildings before his opponent, but if we hadn't run short on time this past Saturday, the four-player game was almost certainly going to be a last-mech-standing victory instead. When we pulled the plug, two of the heavy hitters had been destroyed (mine and John's), and nobody had managed to demolish more than two buildings toward that alternate path to victory.</p><p>I quite like <i>GKR: Heavy Hitters</i>, especially with four players. There are a lot of tactical choices to make without being a brain burner, and the Sponsor Cards bring a great amount of thematic color and unpredictability to the proceedings (I typically refer to the Sponsor Card deck as "chaos cards" because that seems to be mostly what they inject into the game...but in a good way). </p><p>Josh has a second set of the game, and as is our club's wont, we're already looking for ways to blow it out by combining the two into a massive eight-player battle royale.</p><p>Sadly, I was just so happy to see folks and play games that I forgot to take any photos of this first game, beyond a couple when I was setting it up before everybody came over.</p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGhaAP6uVlRc6GTc8nQIVPs6S03YovyGNtDwEgmMextondrRpjW1Q6oWp2wkedYlIsZKJ9kv1qy1kyUHcUj61fydYBEKV9dqBkPul0j6I_8ScI0PaGwzDGiwkCL8KXSI1CQGdq2hRKUWUa/s2048/Photo+Jun+12%252C+10+37+44+AM.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgGhaAP6uVlRc6GTc8nQIVPs6S03YovyGNtDwEgmMextondrRpjW1Q6oWp2wkedYlIsZKJ9kv1qy1kyUHcUj61fydYBEKV9dqBkPul0j6I_8ScI0PaGwzDGiwkCL8KXSI1CQGdq2hRKUWUa/w640-h480/Photo+Jun+12%252C+10+37+44+AM.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Gigi wants to help set everything up.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMsZ0hT1-tzOPD73yUSlSzolnHiP8vd3ZGTD0Q5pSdwt3BlpuGdyUKtQybpW9pT70t-vvZyvQRJT6vjpInQ1Vckil5nVMinOCgqQXZwdgg_AAKkXkv0_z3r1pyBaFjgKpBoi3uvZ5K8tNc/s2048/Photo+Jun+12%252C+11+15+58+AM.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjMsZ0hT1-tzOPD73yUSlSzolnHiP8vd3ZGTD0Q5pSdwt3BlpuGdyUKtQybpW9pT70t-vvZyvQRJT6vjpInQ1Vckil5nVMinOCgqQXZwdgg_AAKkXkv0_z3r1pyBaFjgKpBoi3uvZ5K8tNc/w640-h480/Photo+Jun+12%252C+11+15+58+AM.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">My wife Ellen trying to explain to Cha-Cha that she's not yet old enough to play this game.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUJGkdH7IwaKYFp1o4rBNY2AAXzeTb_Khl7IV2mZkbiaWqjaitajAsGwxuF11ITdaelT3M3yr57CWFXfeAt7bpkV-iMhmdOFkh3hw7vsd_Q5cMzaBjul_5J2xDvPbOIs22AAlfw-FDvSB/s2048/Photo+Jun+13%252C+12+42+19+AM.jpg" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWUJGkdH7IwaKYFp1o4rBNY2AAXzeTb_Khl7IV2mZkbiaWqjaitajAsGwxuF11ITdaelT3M3yr57CWFXfeAt7bpkV-iMhmdOFkh3hw7vsd_Q5cMzaBjul_5J2xDvPbOIs22AAlfw-FDvSB/w640-h480/Photo+Jun+13%252C+12+42+19+AM.jpg" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Thanks to John, I got this one in-game photo, with Jared on the left and me on the right.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><h3 style="text-align: left;">On the Bounce</h3><p>The 4:30 slot is reserved for our customary miniatures games, and the ever enthusiastic and inventive Steve Braun wanted to make sure we honored our insect conquerors this summer by creating a cicada-inspired, <i>Starship Trooper</i>-influenced game. He dubbed the rules <i>On the Bounce</i> after a chapter in the Heinlein novel. He asked me to collaborate with him (as we had in the past on <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2018/07/historicon-2018-running-my-first.html" target="_blank">our Conan game</a>), and we both wanted the game to have a beer-and-pretzels vibe. In all honesty, 90 percent of the game was Steve's brainchild, and I acted as a "facilitator" and sounding board for his creative spurt of ideas that consisted of a lot of cool mechanics he'd been "collecting" and looking for an opportunity to put into a game design of some sort. We spent an evening at my house a couple of weeks back, tossing ideas back and forth and trying to anticipate where the "friction" in the design might need addressed. Steve then started pulling together all of the 15mm miniatures and terrain we'd need. The amazing thing is that two weeks before game day, we had almost none of it in hand. Steve took it from zero to 60 faster than I've ever been able to. </p><p>He typed up some rough notes, and I tried to contribute my "value add" by giving them a close read and a thorough edit to see where the holes were and what might not work as hoped, organizing them all in a quick reference sheet, and formatting all of the troop stats for easy reference at the table.</p><p>Saturday was definitely a play test, and at first it felt like we might have woefully misjudged some of the units' stats. But in retrospect, although I think there is a fair amount of tweaking that can be done to the mechanics and unit stats, it actually wasn't as lopsided as it may have initially appeared. You just had to adjust your strategy to your team's strengths and weaknesses, and those really weren't fully captured in the stat blocks. For example, once the Mobile Infantry team understood how to use the Bounce maneuver and their tactical nukes, all of the worrisome disparities in troop levels and combat or armor stats became less hobbling. </p><p>But it sure didn't feel that way at game's start. In the initial round of play, before I even had a chance to move my squad, the bugs had wiped out nearly half my five-man squad. That was a "what the hell?!?" moment right out of the gate, but once my mobile infantry team started "bouncing" and shooting nukes--rather than trying to go head to head with the terrifying bugs--I was able to help retrieve the scenario's objective while suffering only one more casualty in my five-unit squad.</p><p>Below are some photos that my wife Ellen and I took during the game. Always presume that the good photos are hers...because they are! I'll include the sample quick reference sheet and the unit stats below, too.

That squad was eventually killed, but it's NCO did get out of the door far enough with the data files that we were able to bounce to his corpse, grab them, and bounce toward the excavation point.</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto;

On May 8, the <b>Second Saturday Scrum Club</b> held its first in-person gathering at Scum Hall since our <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/03/srumlandia-start-of-something-special.html" target="_blank"><b>March 14, 2020</b> <b>game</b></a>, and it was a grand time.</p><p>During the pandemic, we all did our best to maintain the monthly schedule baked into the club's name, but those games were all conducted virtually, running the gamut from multi-camera tabletop wargames to Tabletop Simulator matches to role-playing games (which everybody in the club loves to play even though we are a club ostensibly devoted to wargaming).</p><p>I was glad for Zoom and all of the ways we were able to stay in each other's lives for games and camaraderie (one Scrum Club happy hour stretched to three and half hours, which is a long time to hang in front of a monitor alone together). </p><p>But, as all wargamers already know, nothing beats being in the same room together, chucking dice and pushing lead soldiers across a table.</p><p>We were all kinda giddy with excitement, to be honest, and everybody remarked more than once during the evening how much they missed it all. In fact, we may have made up for 14 months of ball busting in a single night. I usually feel like I have to tread carefully in that regard because I'm apt to trash talk a bit more freely than the rest of the gang, but I'll say everybody was in pretty fine form when it came to jocular razzing, and I got at least as good as I gave.</p><p>I was so excited to finally play a game face-to-face that I set aside the whole day for gaming, inviting folks to come around 1:00 to try <b style="font-style: italic;">GKR: Heavy Hitters</b>,<b style="font-style: italic;"> </b>a game I picked up during the pandemic but had yet to play. I bent one of my own club rules and put a <i>board game</i> on the table, justifying it as simply a warm-up for the big miniatures wargame scheduled for later in the evening. John Sears showed up to play, and Francesco showed up for a couple of hours to spectate and chat with me, John, and wife Ellen (for the future biographer, Ellen and I would never have met if not for our mutual pal Francesco). </p><p>It was a fun game, and I look forward to playing it again with more players. Fellow Scrummer Josh O'Connor has the game, too, and we're already talking about how to create a double-sized battlefield for up to eight of us to play simultaneously (reminiscent of the mega-<i>Space Hulk</i> game Jared Smith and I put together a couple of years back <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2018/02/mega-space-hulk-game.html" target="_blank">using three separate copies</a></b> of the game).</p><p><br /></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlUv3KuZ56fChoYNLn2gvFDVrjHMfBUkXyd4eIaOf9VEwT8yz0DGC0QYBoUWej1Tgpyx_S6oBnGvaqqcVwSwMRTJ9jvvQMwyEWgIASHncrtGcHC2aR2u9Wfq73GVWYqw81mK15fQ56_P41/s2048/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+38+PM.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1474" data-original-width="2048" height="460" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhlUv3KuZ56fChoYNLn2gvFDVrjHMfBUkXyd4eIaOf9VEwT8yz0DGC0QYBoUWej1Tgpyx_S6oBnGvaqqcVwSwMRTJ9jvvQMwyEWgIASHncrtGcHC2aR2u9Wfq73GVWYqw81mK15fQ56_P41/w640-h460/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+38+PM.heic" width="640" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid_yIss6NYapdpr5Yxu5WbThCHQg7pMdVAhBM4UaqYN3XrpqbV_gpFhnSKo1It2mGGChSBdLrcw34BiT5ZD2rJQ65wOvM9W6nyhsKjyV5y12dMDo7WtKo_72-3CLFxV5RoQq33bM2Iv4PS/s2720/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+18+PM.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1156" data-original-width="2720" height="272" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEid_yIss6NYapdpr5Yxu5WbThCHQg7pMdVAhBM4UaqYN3XrpqbV_gpFhnSKo1It2mGGChSBdLrcw34BiT5ZD2rJQ65wOvM9W6nyhsKjyV5y12dMDo7WtKo_72-3CLFxV5RoQq33bM2Iv4PS/w640-h272/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+18+PM.heic" width="640" /></a></div><br /><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEom7JonmJrPvao50jHAgrdeiYZEU31BHcutdTVW3DWLH_T8krWerlkBpqvlN9Qn2q4oQ2nL3lJqzlPldubsNXPZCiF7G2Zm6kptcQwVBQfMFJLDLnshZJ1Kyo_jCLXpjwEZhcffq08nWT/s2048/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+22+PM.heic" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjEom7JonmJrPvao50jHAgrdeiYZEU31BHcutdTVW3DWLH_T8krWerlkBpqvlN9Qn2q4oQ2nL3lJqzlPldubsNXPZCiF7G2Zm6kptcQwVBQfMFJLDLnshZJ1Kyo_jCLXpjwEZhcffq08nWT/w640-h480/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+22+PM.heic" width="640" /></a></td></tr><tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Battlin' giant robots across a post-apocalyptic cityscape...what's not to love?!?</td></tr></tbody></table><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71cl_g-MTtVWHwywMl9EOOnCs_TVLauo3v9mLdbrvFAun5dfTIEGtAF4BIS006-99PSxNCOOgcmgFf1RpYVU-uX5DIs3DcC4am7raVG41tIrQFurbH_UW7P1XAdw1jTTWcAoTTKxVwXXu/s2048/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+14+PM.heic" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="2048" data-original-width="1536" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi71cl_g-MTtVWHwywMl9EOOnCs_TVLauo3v9mLdbrvFAun5dfTIEGtAF4BIS006-99PSxNCOOgcmgFf1RpYVU-uX5DIs3DcC4am7raVG41tIrQFurbH_UW7P1XAdw1jTTWcAoTTKxVwXXu/w480-h640/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+14+PM.heic" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPkazcEb70A3K_Av_1z0mUQPrRdsNl4kCAAMdf15et-pgncH-ejmaSYSmqwMwJm05i9o2jGXok4_a9RO5cSEie7rwxhXzr2Ah2zVHH197Wdgd4Yl-Qeik6gkOcx74jBL6PzpYty1D9DG72/s2048/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+27+PM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="1536" data-original-width="2048" height="480" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPkazcEb70A3K_Av_1z0mUQPrRdsNl4kCAAMdf15et-pgncH-ejmaSYSmqwMwJm05i9o2jGXok4_a9RO5cSEie7rwxhXzr2Ah2zVHH197Wdgd4Yl-Qeik6gkOcx74jBL6PzpYty1D9DG72/w640-h480/Photo+May+15%252C+8+30+27+PM.jpg" width="640" /></a></div><br /><p>Eventually, Steve Braun made his entrance at the traditional 4:30 start time to set up a big game of <i>Oathmark </i>for the evening. Rather than use the game's proscribed setting, Steve prepared a clash in Hyboria set in the waning days of Conan's reign as king of Aquilonia. Steve and I share a great fondness for Robert E. Howard and his Conan yarns (we collaborated a couple of years back on <b><a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/search/label/Conan?updated-max=2018-07-20T13:06:00-04:00&max-results=20&start=5&by-date=false" target="_blank">some scenarios</a></b> we ran at conventions in 2018-19 inspired by "Beyond the Black River" using the <i>Sellswords and Spellslingers</i> rules), so I was excited to play more in that milieu.</p><p>John and Walt played the Aquilonians and their allies, and Steve and I played the...I honestly can't remember. I was just so happy to be playing a game with friends, that sadly the incidental details were just that...incidental. (I am so sorry, Steve!) I know that we called the game around 10:00 p.m. when Walt had to start his trek back to Virginia, and it seemed doubtful that Steve and I could win the battle, especially as Walt was wheeling a mounted Conan and accompanying elite guard of Black Dragons around to charge across the field at a lot of our already weakened units. If you're interested in hearing <b><a href="https://misternizz.wordpress.com/2021/05/10/my-first-oathmark-game-with-real-life-people/" target="_blank">more of a battle report</a></b>, you can jump over to Walt's blog for a lopsided narrative that omits some of my own heroics on the field of battle, but as they say...the victor gets to write history. Walt also includes a bit more of a review of the <i>Oathmark </i>rules, which were new to the Scrum Club given they were released during the pandemic.</p><p>You'll see from most of my photos below that I was much less occupied with the ebb and flow of the battle than I was the people I was finally getting to share a table with. We had a rollicking good time, and in some surreal way it was as if we had come out of hibernation right where we had left off. Hopefully next time we will have even better attendance as the rest of the Scrum Club gets through their vaccinations. I can't wait for the rest of the tribe to finally be reunited.</p><p><br /></p><table align="center" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;"><tbody><tr><td style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjcEqRTA_d_g-eMlxfNAF5Y6tEqwq2JvPD3hu52ARJciuA6czd_S1mEzftFc56S_nNLmaHP-PNr_4_nMqsG-Sm1C5bdDyfqCXV8aZhgCP3RGXHLI0iadPJ8l5LB3MNPDTMTaV5Vti4IO4it/s2048/Photo+May+08%252C+4+56+21+PM.heic" style="margin-left: auto;

Read more about <b><i><a href="https://www.starschlock.com/" target="_blank">Star Schlock</a></i></b> at John's excellent site for the game, where you can also sign up for the mailing list to stay informed of future developments.</div><div><br /></div><div>The guiding aesthetic behind <i><b>Star Schlock</b></i> is an evocation of those sci-fi movies and TV shows we all loved regardless of actual quality from our childhoods in the 1970s and early 1980s...stuff like <i>Battle Beyond the Stars</i>, <i>Buck Rogers</i>, and <i>Space: 1999</i>, and any of a dozen <i>Star Wars</i>-inspired B-movie cash grabs of the era.</div><div><br /></div><div>The game is still a work-in-progress, though we've played it countless times in the <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/p/second-saturday-scrum-club.html" target="_blank">Scrum Club</a>, and John has run it at a couple of conventions now, including Historicon. John, ever industrious, even created a version of it for us to keep playing during the pandemic on Tabletop Simulator, importing a number of the sculpts he has created for the game.</div><div><br /></div><div>The <a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/star-schlock-astros/star-schlock-astroguards-miniatures?ref=discovery&term=Star%20Schlock%20Astroguards" target="_blank">current Kickstarter</a> is for a number of the miniatures he has sculpted tied to the lore he's creating for the <i>Star Schlock</i> universe, but these miniatures would just as easily fit right in with any number of current games, perhaps most notably the new <i>Stargrave </i>rules. </div><div><br /></div><div>I was impressed over the past couple of years as John taught himself digital sculpting, and then proceeded to churn out one miniature after another that harkened back to all of this kitschy sci-fi material without succumbing to slavish mimicry. And the fact that as a sculptor he already demonstrates such a keen feel for posture, gesture, and body language is all the more impressive. But given that John's work, which I first stumbled across on his blog <a href="http://1000footgeneral.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">1,000 Foot General</a>, was one of my go-to sources for inspiration when I first entered the wargaming hobby a few years ago, I shouldn't have been too surprised that he would come out of the gate at a sprint rather than a trot with these miniatures.</div><div><br /></div><div>I, of course, will be picking up at least one of everything from this Kickstarter, and I encourage you to consider doing the same. And help John out by spreading the word to any of your interested gamer buddies!</div><div><br /></div><div><div style="text-align: center;">The Kickstarter ends at May 18 at 9:00 p.m. (EST). </div><div style="text-align: center;">Don't miss out...back <b><a href="https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/star-schlock-astros/star-schlock-astroguards-miniatures?ref=discovery&term=Star%20Schlock%20Astroguards" target="_blank">Star Schlock</a></b> today!</div></div><div><br /></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

Held on the last weekend of February, <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/03/scrum-con-2020-leap-forward.html" target="_blank">Scrum Con 2020</a> managed to sneak in just before the pandemic hit, and we came out of that event with all sorts of enthusiasm for continuing to grow Scrum Con in our new location at the Silver Spring Civic Center. We're going to continue to work toward that goal in 2022, but we just can't stand the thought of skipping a year and not hosting something under the Scrum Con banner in 2021. For those of you who have been simply too far away to travel to Washington, DC to attend our past Scrum Cons, here's your chance to join us from your quarantined couch anywhere around the globe!</div><div><br /></div><div>This weekend we launched a great <a href="https://www.scrum-con.com/" target="_blank"><b>new Scrum Con website</b></a> (thanks to fellow Scrummer John Sears), and opened up registration to a whole slate of great looking games. If you're interested in playing in them, I'd head over soon to <a href="https://www.scrum-con.com/">Scrum-Con.com</a> because the games are already starting to fill.</div><div><br /></div><div>As in the past we're honored to include some special guests to the convention. Returning this year is <b>Ed Stark </b>(creative director of D&D 3/3.5), who will be running a session of <i>Dungeons and Dragons</i>.

Eric Hoffman had been scheduled to be a game master at <b><a href="https://tabletop.events/conventions/scrum-con-2020" target="_blank">Scrum Con</a></b> in both 2019 and 2020, but family illnesses torpedoed his intentions both times. It's no fun as a convention organizer to have to scramble to find a replacement GM at the last minute, but life often gets in the way regardless of best intentions, and I completely understood his situation. </p><p>But having never met Eric, it was hard to know if it was a big loss to our con and its players who had signed up for his games. Now that I've had the chance to play with Eric a couple of times, I can definitively confirm that it was <i>indeed </i>a big loss, and now I'm really looking forward to him being able to run a game for folks at a future Scrum Con.</p><p>Eric finally did get to attend a Scrum Con event of a sort when we hosted our virtual <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/07/bridging-gap-scrum-con-2020-summer.html" target="_blank">Summer Invitational</a> back in July, where I got to know him as a fun fellow player in the John Sears-run "Dungeon Scrum" session on that Saturday afternoon. It was clear he was somebody I would enjoy gaming with again.</p><p>A few weeks later it was exciting to get an invitation from him to play in a game he wanted to host, especially since it was <b><i>Chainmail</i></b>, to which the great Keith Sloan introduced the Second Saturday Scrum Club back in January this year (I actually had to confirm it was this year because after six-months of pandemic distancing, it truly feels like it was a couple of years ago now).</p><p>Like the <a href="https://miniaturescrum.blogspot.com/2020/01/chainmail-battle-of-emridy-meadows.html" target="_blank">Battle of Emridy Meadows scenario</a> Keith created for his session of <i>Chainmail</i>, Eric also took his inspiration from the early annals of D&D lore. I'll let him discuss his inspiration in his own words below, but it was great fun, especially because I was teamed with several folks I already knew and liked--the aforementioned Keith Sloan and another good pal, Peter Megginson--squaring off against fellow Scrum Clubber Steve Braun and a friend of Eric's named Thaddeus (who himself turned out to be a fun, generous guy to game with).</p>I did feel going into Eric's game like I was about to earn some sort of wargaming merit badge: not only were we playing <i>Chainmail</i>, the first set of fantasy wargaming rules ever published, but we were using all sorts of out-of-vogue elements like <i>written orders</i>, <i>simultaneous movement</i>, and the <i>fatigue </i>rules. To top it all off, we would be playing on a <b><i>sand table</i></b>...you can't get much more old school than that! Level unlocked, as it were.<p>I can't wait to someday fenagle an invite to play face-to-face in Eric's basement on that gigantic sand table, but until then, Eric has this whole virtual wargaming hobby down. In fact, he executed at a higher level than anybody I've seen run a miniatures wargame online, with four cameras set up: one planted at a three-quarters down view on each player's side of the battlefield, one mounted on a small tripod that roamed to wherever the action was taking place, and another mounted by his computer for when he needed face time with the players. </p><p>He also set up Google spreadsheets for players to record their written orders each turn, which then automatically fed into a master orders sheet that only Eric and his helpmate father could see when it came time to execute the simultaneous movement on the battlefield. Eric even taught me a new trick on Zoom by setting up "break-out rooms" where each side could gather to discuss and coordinate their strategy between turns with their teammates (I played on the side of the coalition of men, while our opponents were the forces of chaos). </p><div>The game stretched to about four hours with nary a moment of down time. For five players in a virtual environment, it practically raced along to the final charge of cavalry that definitively turned the tide of battle. I was surprised at just how well the written orders and simultaneous movement worked, creating a lot of drama as we all waited with great anticipation to see what happened after all of the orders were executed. This is one area, in fact, where all of the technology (linked Google spreadsheets, breakout rooms, etc.) actually worked better than if we had all been in the same physical space.</div><div><br /></div>I've asked Eric to share some of his thoughts, which I'll include below before jumping into the pictures from the day's game.<br /><br /><div>From Eric:</div><div><br /></div><div><i style="background-color: #eee9e9;">Some background on why I did this: </i></div><div><span style="background-color: #eee9e9;"><i><br />For the past few years I have invited a group of 10-12 folks I know primarily from the Old School D&D writing/publishing/convention scene to my house on a weekend in August to game, eat crab cakes and pit beef, and generally hang out together. This year because of COVID we couldn't do that in person, but I didn't want to simply lose the year. We regularly play online RPG games together, so we scheduled some of those for the usual weekend. But one of the hallmarks of this gathering is a featured set piece or </i>Chainmail <i>or some other war game, so I set my mind to how we could conceivably do this virtually, and after some trial and error, arrived at this set up. It worked much better than I anticipated! I expected this to be a largely ceremonial game just to say we played on the sand table this year, but it ended up being fun for all, and so I've run it again and expanded to other gaming circles.</i></span></div><div><i style="background-color: #eee9e9;"><br /></i></div><div><i style="background-color: #eee9e9;">Here was my introduction sent to the players:</i></div><div><i style="background-color: #eee9e9;"><br /></i></div><div><span style="background-color: #eee9e9;"><i>We will be delving into </i>Chainmail: Rules for Medieval Miniatures<i> in this event. That’s right, the game that started the movement that eventually led to the creation of </i>Dungeons &Dragons <i>as well as launched a plethora of lawsuits from the money-grubbing Tolkien estate!<br /><br />In this game we will be simulating a battle that may have taken place in the locale that would one day come to be the region detailed in one of the most prolific D&D settings, Module B2, </i><b>The Keep on the Borderlands</b><i>. </i><br /><br /><i>In this endeavor we answer the question, “Why did they build a keep here?”</i></span></div><div><span style="background-color: #eee9e9;"><br /></span></div><div><span style="background-color: #eee9e9;"><b style="font-style: italic;">Scenario</b><br /><i>The half-demon Necromancer Vahevala has raised an army of Chaos in the Borderlands, intent on driving deep into the civilized nations of Aquilia. A coalition of the nations of Men have come together in a desperate attempt to destroy Vahevala’s army before it can wreak havoc amongst the civilian populace. </i><br /><br /><i>This seems to happen at least once a generation, causing a disgruntled grognard to note on the eve of battle, “They really should build a Keep on this Borderland…”</i><br /><br /><b style="font-style: italic;">Game Information</b><br /><i>The objectives in this battle are simple. Both armies are intent on destroying the other at all costs.</i><br /><br />Chainmail's</span><span style="background-color: #eee9e9; font-style: italic;"> mass combat rules will be used with the simultaneous move system of initiative. Each player will submit written orders each turn for their units and the GM will act as referee, interpreting those orders on the battlefield.<br /><br />A reliable connection to Zoom (voice and video) and a bunch of d6 are all that is needed. Players will split into two teams, each player controlling one “Battle” of their army. <br /><br />You will receive a Google spreadsheet with four tabs within the workbook:<br /><br />(1) Roster: Here you will find an overview of the units under your command and descriptions of some of the special abilities they may have. You will have to track your unit Fatigue on this tab during the game.<br /><br />(2) Orders: Each turn you will issue written orders to each of your units by filling out the cells on this tab. You can discuss with your teammate what you would like to do strategically but each unit will act, according to the referees inference, based only on the written orders.<br /><br />(3) Combat Tables: You can follow along here during the melee and missile phase of the game to get a true sense of the wonderful train wreck that is </span><span style="background-color: #eee9e9;">Chainmail</span><span style="background-color: #eee9e9; font-style: italic;">!<br /><br />(4) Quick Reference Sheet: Here is a summary of most of the rules you may want to take a look at while making your decisions in the game. You won’t need to reference them in any way, the referee will do that for you based on written orders.<br /><br /></span>As you can see, Eric wasn't messing around. He had this thought through and lockdown.

He's inspired me to adopt some of his tools and techniques, and I just wish I had a basement set-up like his, if for no other reason than to be able to set up all of the cameras and basically leave everything in place until I could host the next virtual miniatures game. I was pretty proud of my two-camera set up for a couple of games I ran of <i>Dragon Rampant </i>this summer, with one camera mounted on my dining room ceiling fan to provide a perfect bird's eye view of the battlefield and another to get up close to the melee action, but in the end I think Eric's four-camera set up worked even better.<br /><br />I truly do miss gaming with folks in person, but I'm impressed at how much fun can still be had when folks put their mind to it and find ways to game with miniatures remotely. Eric has found a way to bridge the gap better than anybody I've seen yet, and for that I thank and commend him.<br /><br /></div><div><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><span style="color: #cc0000;"><b>~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></span></div><div style="text-align: center;"><b style="color: #cc0000;">~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~</b></div>Joe Procopiohttp://www.blogger.com/profile/08877692244537194278noreply@blogger.com5
