Frostgrave: Second Edition: Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City

The package arrived faster than promised, and in excellent condition. The book met my expectations. I particularly liked that it's smaller than other similar books, yet maintains the hardcover.

I am someone who loves tabletop RPGs but gets frustrated when I am part of campaigns that get away from the adventures. As much as I like RP and character interaction, I am a player who likes rolling the dice and being part of the action more.Frostgrave cuts to the chase. The core of the experience is you and your warband in the dungeon, cutting ahead of the competition to get loot and glory. All the other bits - leveling up, buying loot, upgrading your hideout - all serves to get you back in the action and adventures.I have been able to get friends who were new to tabletop RPGs into the hobby via Frostgrave, modifying it where instead of a PvP experience, I'm the DM and I play with one to two other players.I think it sets up a player for success and fun, and creates a good mindset for players to have. Frostgrave uses a very simple die system - just one D20 can get you through everything. All spells, no matter how lengthy their description, are easily figured. You can build a well rounded warband to get a taste of several RPG archetypes, and that helps players appreciate the synergy of an RPG party. Not just that, but it's easy to accept characters dying in Frostgrave because you've got a whole warband. Some of the members are likely to be expendable, and creating characters that you are all right with dying can set up insane events in the game.One of my favorite moments was when one of my players used his expendable thug to hold off a horde of enemies. The thug chopped down a whole horde of skeletons - and lived! The player got super excited and even though the thug died later, they had a little "funeral" at the end of the session in good fun. I've been part of RPG sessions where players are so afraid of their characters dying they don't even go on adventures. I want my players to be excited about the adventures they go on, not anxious, and this helps them form the mindset that this is just a game where you can have fun no matter what happens.

My husband is big into WarHammer Age of Sigmar, WarHammer 40K, WarMachine and other such games. I like Co-oppertive and RPG games. This is a nice blend of the two worlds. It's like D'n'D meets Warhammer. You build Wizards and a war bands; than face off or go into the frozen city together fighting foes and grabbing treasure. this book has it all. Would high recommend the Perilous Dark expansion if you are looking for CO-OP rules. This book has everything you need in terms of the rules and how to play. You are going to need models (anything can work for these) terrain ( can be anything from around the house if you are looking for the cheap option) pencil, paper and a 20-sided die that can be bought at the local gaming store if you don't have one or online. I recommend 2 of the 20-sided dice but base line you need one to make the game work. Otherwise nothing is stopping you from building a Wizard and adenturing into the vast frozen city for treasure!!

Bom jogo para iniciar nesse estilo. Pra quem vem do RPG é um conjunto de regras muito familiar também, e o cenário é bem interessante.

Ik heb twee exemplaren van Frostgrave 2nd edition besteld. Ze waren zoals beloofd de volgende dag in huis. Dit boek bevat alles om te beginnen met Frostgrave en is zeker een aanrader!Alleen erg jammer dat er een grote scheur zat in de eerste bladzijde.
