MCP: Triple threat “Villains” Roster Review
So the Triple threat Roster went to BASH and finished 2-2 (see here). Obviously it was a pretty hacked together roster and in no way optimal. How did it do? [Disclaimer. Again, the ratings are how the models performed for me on the day in the specific crises I faced. Not an overall gauge on […]
MCP: BASH event
Another weekend, another event. This time at Boards and Swords in Derby. Always a good location. There were 32 players, so a big one! I took my new roster (see here) and had settled on Toad as the 10th man. The aim here was simple, get one game with Spider Foes, then play whatever I […]
GMLess D&D Session 3
So having taking a week off we picked up where we left off (see session 2) having recovered the Armor of Heroism. When we returned to the rebels we thought they would be super impressed, but they weren’t (bad roll) and they gave us another filler mission (card flip), “Acquire Love” (oracle roll). We decided […]
MCP: Elektra card review
The one we’ve been waiting for! (Since we got DDs card a few weeks ago) What do we get for the assassin, Elektra? So she’s 4 threat, and clearly meant to be an assassin like Gamora. The Great: Impale is nice. An 8 dice Synthezoid Avenger that can go up to 10 and grants a […]
Legend of Vox Machina Part 1 Review
I’ve never reviewed a TV series before on here. I think I did a film once. It’s a gaming blog but since this is the show that got me back into D&D I figure it’s actually relevant. In case you don’t know Vox Machina is the name of the party in the first Critical Role […]
MCP: Triple threat Roster (Foes + CS +???)
So I need one for game with Foes for the 5, but that’s it. So I may as well play CS right? They have 4 models that can play both affiliations (5 including Tasky) and that includes both Leaders. So roster consisting of Gobby, Kingpin and 1 other dual affiliated model let’s me play both […]
MCP: My Spider Foes Roster Review
So as written about here I took a Spider Foes roster to an event at the weekend. I went 2-2, so not bad, but not great. As usual I’m doing a write-up of how my roster fared. I’ll add the normal (frequently ignored) disclaimer that isn’t how good these characters are in general, or how […]
MCP: Sanctuary Games Feb Event
This past Saturday I went to Sanctuary Games for their February event. It’s the first time I’ve been to the new venue since they moved out of the Church. It’s a really good venue. Not as big as the church, but considerably warmer! Great staff as always. Event ended up being 18 players and 4 […]
How are we playing GM-Less D&D?
So as written about in session 0, 1 and 2 we are playing a GMLess D&D Campaign. Why are we playing a GMLess D&D Game? Simple enough, because there’s only 2 of us. My regular group is myself and 2 players, but One of my players (Brian) and I have been meeting, just the 2 […]
Co-Op D&D 5e Session 2
We did a bit of world-building to start. We had intended the session to be more high magic and high tech and ended up in a farming community delivering a mcguffin to a tribe. (see here) Not quite what we had planned. So we added a City to our map and decided to get skyship […]
MCP: Midnight sons Roster review
So a week ago I played with my Midnight sons roster and now as normal I’m reviewing the roster. As a reminder this is more a review of how the models played, not how good they could/should be. Blade – I’ve seen Blade wreck people but it didn’t happen for me. I lost him round […]
Co-Op D&D 5e Session 1
So we had worked out our World (not) and our characters and were ready to go (see here) The plan for the solo stuff was as follows: Use the Oracles from Ironsworn to get started and create locations (and NPCs) Use the Card system from Twilight 2000 (Free League version) to answer yes/no questions and […]
Co-Op D&D 5e Session 0
So having just started listening to Critical Role properly (Campaign 3 – I go between Youtube and Podcast) and watching the first 3 episodes of Legends of Vox Machina I’ve got the itch to play D&D. But we’ve just started a Tales from the Loop game, which has at least 3 more sessions to go […]
MCP: Pointless Affiliation Bracket, Final Rounds
So when we left off I had “played” two round of my imaginary MCP affiliation bracket and was down to this: Quarter Finals Black Order Vs Midnight Sons Well Midnight sons only just got into this round… They have a situationally good leadership and some quite good models but I feel they are matchup dependant. […]
MCP: Tritex games event
Very last minute this last week I realised I was free for a change on a Saturday and there was an event on (cheers Chris). So I picked my Midnight Sons roster as I had 2 games already and took them to Stafford. The venue was quite small but fitted in 7 tables (we only […]
MCP: Shadowland Daredevil card review
[Edit – made a whole bunch of changes – clearly was with it this morning. Cheers Jonah!] I have to admit, I am not familiar with this arc at all. So when they dropped the silhouette and people said it was a “bad” Daredevil and he would be a CS leader I was surprised. But […]
