WEEK - #?? - Player's Choice
Custom Scenario, Premade Map

Sometimes, you don't know what the goal will be until you get there...

Terrain Setup: Use the Dragon's Horde Map.

Special Rule: As part of warband declaration, include what kind of scenario you want to play, from the following list.

Standard
Assault
Bounty
Cave of Pain
Plunder
Quick-Strike

Before placement initiative, roll for scenario inititive. Whoever wins may choise either their scenario or their opponents scenario to play. For Assault and Plunder, all squares with the red difficult markers are considered shared victory areas. Roll for placement initative as normal after scenario is known.

Victory: As determined by the scenario.

How is that? Looking to think outside of the box.

We would need to include the rules for each of those options in the Scenario description for the week. I would not want someone to show up and not know how to play one. Also, it would let the players know what they are before hand to pick their favorite.

I also like Zephyrstorm's countdown suggestion. Then you really don't know what it will be until you get there. Another twist would be to decide the scenario after units are placed on the map. Then you are really, truely there before you know.

---

Good point about the need for the rules, and I like Zephy's idea as well. I was thinking the original version would favor the LG warlords with their high cmdrs vs the chaostics & promoted Lts and Zephy's suggestion covers that.

Anyone see a problem with using the Dragon horde map?

Agreed. While it isn't really that unfair of a scenario, it just makes the game take way too long. A 150 pt game lasted three hours, when normally I'd only expect a little over an hour.

I don't get it, shouldn't it have been quicker?

G vs G you only need to 1/2 hp everyone. E vs E you only need to kill commander.... G vs E is normal.

NEXT WEEK - #69 - Dungeon of Slaughter
Custom Scenario, Premade Map

The years of sacrifice in the Dungeon of Blood have led to an increased power built up in the blood covered floor.

Terrain Setup: Use the Dungeon of Blood Map.

Special Rule – Powerful Criticals: Critical hits (except those caused by Unavoidable Strike) deal triple damage instead of double damage, and creatures that are normally immune to critical hits lose that immunity. The Blood Rock terrain on the map applies to both melee and ranged attacks.

Special Rule – Death of Fear: Creatures that fail a Morale Save must instantly make another Morale Save. If the second save fails, the creature is destroyed. If a second save would normally be required, resolve the Dungeon save first.

Victory: Standard Victory conditions (gain Victory Points equal to the Warband Size or eliminate the opponent's entire warband)

For Blood map, Week 69, is the sacred circle also blood rock, or just the lower left / upper right corners where the blood drains into the hole.

Also, you might want to mention the center of the sacred circle is a pit, not a wall. Pit rules are in the rulebook now.

Thanks!

IN XX WEEKS - #XX - Monster under the Bridge
Custom Scenario, Premade Map

Be careful crossing the bridge! Something calls it home!

Terrain Setup: Use the Drow Outpost.

Special Rule – Creature under the Bridge: At the end of a round, if there is a unit in or within two of the shared victory area, the creature under the bridge comes up. The players roll an unmodified d20 to determine who places the creature within, or as much as possible, the shared victory area. The creature is determined by the following chart:

Band size....Creature
50...........Cursed Spirit
75...........Sacred Watcher
100..........Troll Slasher
125..........Wraith
150..........Ghostly Consort
175..........Night Hag
200..........Khumat
225..........Balor
250..........Lord Soth (Epic)
275+.........Balor (Epic)

All these creature are considered to have no alignment for purpose of alignment based spells or abilities (like Unholy Blight or Evil Outsider Foe). They are also fearless and can not fall into the chasm.

At the end of every round that the creature is on the board (include the round it appears) the players roll an unmodified d20 to see who controls the creature for that round. The creature will attack, if able, any creature it can reach and will not move more than two squares away from the shared victory area. If there are no creatures, other than the bridge creature, in or within two squares of the shared victory area, the creature returns to its lair. Every turn the creature is in or returned to its lair, it recovers 10 hp.

Victory: You score 10 points for every round that you have a creature in the shared victory area. The winner is the first person to reach 50 points.

Good points. Just the squares where the blood drains is blood rock. Id guess that blood must take up over half the square (much like forest, pit, or dragon shrines)

Yes please clarify that that is a pit as well. I look forward to the scenario. First one of my creation :)

I think the good comprimise would just be, if you fail your first MC, then make another to avoid dieing of shock. Any subsequent MCs don't have a second death MC associated with them. So the first MC would cause the second check on a fail regardless of how it was caused. However if it was caused by an outside HP halving source and that unit was then reduced to half, it wouldn't have to make the death save on a failed MC then.

The basis of this is each warband is trying to send messengers past the other warband.

King's Road would make the most sense for the map.

Messengers: Each warband would include a unit from a list to be designated the messenger. Its cost should count towards your warband size and may not be a support unit. Messengers gain the respawn ability and respawned messengers keep their messenger status. Messengers may not start with magic items. The goal is to get your messenger to your opponent's exit (at which point they score points respawn).

Scoring: I was thinking either grant a bonus to the points for killing/routing an enemy messenger (maybe 10%-20% of the warband size) and grant the same bonus if the messenger makes it to the opposite exit. Alternatively, perhaps just go to three messengers killed/scored to end the game.

LG: Man-at-Arms (3), Azer Raider (5), Protectar (7), Sun Soul Initiate (8), Dwarf Axefighter (12), Earth Shugenja (17), Half-Orc Monk (17)
CG: Xeph Warrior (3), Catfolk (5), Protectar (7), Daring Rogue (14), Bariaur Ranger (16), Spirit Folk Fighter (19), Wood Elf Ranger (23)
LE: Hobgoblin Warrior (3), Azer Raider (5), Baaz Draconian (6), Hobgoblin Archer (11), Sahuagin Ranger (15), Half-Orc Monk (17), Scarlet Brotherhood Monk (20)
CE: Orc Warrior (3), Bugbear (5), Dark Creeper (8), Carrion Tribe Barbarian (12), Howling Orc (15), Drow Rogue (19), Orc Mauler (26)

It may be better to just assign a creature for each of the 4 factions. Then warbands have to be built around that creature.

Fixed, I hope, the rules for this week.

Moved the tiles scenario back a week since I get to play next week and did not want to have to set up tiles. Should we never play on tiles again (except Eternal Battle Scenario)?

AesD, I liked the Storm's Fury scenario as well. I have not been saving the rules for the various scenarios we have created. If you can recreate the rules I would be happy to assign it, even as early as next week.

I already did no items and no support. Hmm.. I did intend not a LT, but I suppose it would probably be a good idea to specify. If we have a list, then we don't need #1 (unless you're trying to reduce the effectiveness of the mephling). Actually, the highest speed I included was 8; there should be a speed 8 in each alignment...

Does Immune Electricity, Resist Electricity, Immune Stun (via Construct) negates the variable storm effect ? What about Incorporeal (does it happen only on 11+) ?
I hope this is the right place for this.
