A FROSTGRAVE ADVENTURE

This weekend I participated in a Frostgrave game. The Frostgrave game system is out on the market for some years now but this was my first experience with it.

In our scenario three Wizards, each accompanied by their own warband, went out to find treasure in a frozen over village. So here we had a Necromancer, an Elementalist and a Thaumaturge leading their warparties into the unknown to find fortune. The game was hosted and guided by a veteran Gamemaster.

With three warparties in a small area there was a lot of conflict over terrain and treasure. Furthermore some unexpected guest creatures were summoned or came out of several treasure chests and directed their wrath against unfortunate warband members.
Here is a picture report of our game;

This Frostgrave scenario proved a bloody affaire with 2 wizards, all 3 apprentices and a lot of the warband participants send to Walhalla. In the end the bold Necromancer team brought in most of the loot and won the game. Being my first Frostgrave experience it has without doubt gained my interest for more and more!!
