FG: Wizard Shades & Werewolves

23/05/2020

From the Maze of Malcor:

Five wizard shades of the five lost schools of magic, one went AWOL, so I had to buy them all over again. Painted Foundry teal blue then dry brushed upwards to white – idea stolen from Joe McCullough the writer of the system and supplements.

Two more Werewolves, they feature in a scenario from perilous Dark, and are obviously a feature of Blood Moon the Rangers of Shadow Deep scenario.

these two figures are from one of the North Star Weird West ranges but listed as suitable for RoSD (duh).

I should watch Dog Soldiers again – excellent British film.

FG: Ghostbusters

10/05/2020

Yes, really. I asked for a DVD of Ghostbusters, the original movie, for Xmas. My Aunt & Uncle translated this and gave me:

  • a boxed set of the then 3 DVDs
  • a t-shirt with the logo etc
  • three novelty key rings

    • Thanks…bit more than expected. DVDs watched, and all are good, t-shirt always wearable.

    The key rings ?

    Not my type, and too chunky to fit into my pockets easily, but I didn’t want to waste them so….

    So one, sort of undead nasty, and a Large Construct. I remnoved them from their attachments, and shaved off the loops on their heads.

    The slimer, was washed green and a red wash in his mouth.

    The stay puft man, was either an all or nothing, so I went with nothing.

    Hopefully a useful and amusing addition to the table, whilst not wasting resources !

    Third key ring has yet to find a use, maybe some sort of banish undead marker ?

    FG Werewolf, glass spiders and new scenery

    08/05/2020

    Starting to clear the backlog (hahaha) during lockdown.

    Scenery is by Gale Force 9.

    I bought the bundle offer so have finally got the ruined fountain terrain piece that features heavily in the FG rule books.

    Glass Spiders were painted using a very old metallic blue progressively highlighted and mixed with silvers.

    Lockdown Reading (2)

    01/05/2020

    These came through last week,…

    I bought them as both hard copy and soft copy pdfs.

    The pdfs are ok, but having read the hard copies now, I think having the hard copies for some of them is better unless you want to develop RSI scrolling through all the clue lists.

    So back to the scenarios themselves, are they any good ?

    Yes.

    A mixed bag of the simple and the complex as your Ranger gains extra levels.

    I am looking forward to playing them.

    Talking of which, I have read the deluxe RoSD edition and built a Ranger and companions which was fun. Now to try my first solo adventure. My scenery is in storage, so there will only be a load of words no pics.

    Though I mayhems intersperse it with some piccies of new figures painted.
