 Brought to you by "I ain't afraid of no ghosts". Alan's Orks are trying to stomp the ghosts. Here is a Persians vs Egyptians fighting for control of the Sinai peninsula.  I gave the ghosts the first turn. This is normally a good move because it allows the chaos warriors to move up and charge people of the objectives in the first turn. However, I underestimated the speed of the Ghosts and they were able to charge me on their first turn. Accordingly, I spent most of the game fighting in my deployment zone. Here is the ghost commander and spirit hosts. they both give each other a buff so it's likely you will see them together. Ouch the Ghost squad put the hurt on some chaos Warriors. These Ghosts arrive and start wacking the chaos warriors. They do manage to get through some wounds Obligingly the ghosts on this side roll a double 1 and so don't charge. This allows the chariot to counter charge and kill one with a clip clop of sharp hooves the Chaos knights arriv...

Rusty Dagger - Cursed in Iron

This is a scenario I wrote myself based on a Conan story. I have tried to make this adventure with more choices like a choose your own adventure novel rather than locking the adventurers into a linear path. Several of the events can happen in a different order or location depending on the outcome of the players choices and the success or failure of the narrative challenges. After Arzag's experience with the Cult of Dagon Arzag joins up with a mercenary company. Unfortunately, the commander backs the wrong side in a civil war and the mercenaries are shattered. Survivors fleeing the battle are ruthlessly ridden down and killed. Those captured alive are killed a variety of hideous ways. Arzag is one of the few to evade capture by hiding in a swamp. Days of hiding in mud up to his eyeballs and eating raw frogs and roots is getting to him. (The fantasy equivalent of no beer and no TV). Arzag has found a boat and is waiting for nightfall before rowing out across the great lake. W hen he ...

After recovering from multiple doses of spider venom in the last adventure. Arzag decides he has had enough of the Jungle and sets off for the coast. He finally makes it to the coast and looks out at the vista of blue ocean stretching to the horizon. While camping on the beech he is suddenly aware of the stench of rotting fish. Three figures are approaching from further down the beach. Arzag is momentarily overcome with a wave of nausea due to the stench. Round 1 The disgusting figures move forwards. They are draped in seaweed Arzag shakes off the nausea and enraged by his momentary weakness activates Primal Rage. Arzag charges the lead figure, trying to pin them between the rocks so their numbers work against them. His first stab opens a wound in the lead figure. 15-8 A double 6 to start the fight! The Zombie misses Arzag 5-7 The last zombie shambles forward Round 2 Arzag lands a Heavy Blow on the lead zombie 11-8. This zombie is wearing a long black cloak so was probably an undertake...

We got together for another Stargrave mission, game, thing. I got Grok to create a couple of background images. This time our information took us to a Class L (earthlike) orbiting a gas giant. While trekking through the jungle looking at the strange plants and animals that inhabit these unique ecological niches. Some of the inhabitants tried to carve their niches on us. Finally, we arrived at an ancient pyramidal shaped building. This was the source of the energy readings we had detected. Here we are deployed in little corner of the world. After the last game and the death of Trooper Lytton we had to replace him with a Robotic Bruiser to save money. Just as we got close to the Pyramid what looked like shipping containers dropped out of the sky on parachutes. Here we are advancing towards the building and the energy sources. The Dalek commander moved right to investigate a nearby energy reading. Unfortunately this turned out to be a pit trap. The Dalek promptly fell in " I am losin...
