Who's coming and what do you want to play?

I'll be there.

How about Dragon Rampant or Space Station Zero?

I'm game for anything, just need to know what minis to bring.

Hi Karl,
I will be there. Unfortunately I do not own Dragon Rampant or Space Station Zero. I don’t know where we are at on our Mordheim rotation schedule, but I am open for that. I am also open for Grimdark, Age of Fantasy Regiments, Space Weirdos, or maybe giving Age of fantasy Quest, which some members have been chatting about, a try.

Both Space Station Zero and Dragon Rampant are pretty quick to learn and make lists for. I'm happy to work with you on a list and teach the game.

For those who don't know....

Dragon Rampant is a Platoon Level Skirmish game from Osprey. Similar levels of unit abstraction as One Page rules, but more interesting activation mechanics. Games use half or less the number of miniatures as Age of Fantasy. It fills a nice size niche between warband skirmishes like Mordheim or SBH and big games like AoF or KoW.

Space Station Zero is a Scenario-based game where 1 or more players control small crews as they work their way through specific story-based missions from the rulebook. Sometimes cooperative, sometimes not....

Both games are alot of fun and somewhere between OPR and Mordhiem in terms of complexity. I think both games are worth owning if one is interested in reading rules.

I'm up for any of the games. I'll see where folks fall and then fill in a gap.


Also Note:
I'll have folks' terrain and unsold items for them to take home this weekend. I'm in the midst of a big reorganization, purge and cleaning that will hopefully result in more time to hobby and a better-organized game room.

I'm leaning toward Dragon Rampant a bit.

I found an army builder here:

That's really useful. Thanks, Karl. Based on 24 point lists, here are some ideas-

For Michael's chaos guys I would do something like:
2 units heavy foot (chaos warriors)
2 units bellicose foot (beastmen)
1 unit heavy riders (chaos cav)
1 unit lesser warbeasts (hounds)
or, substitute two of those units for greater warbeasts (mutants), plus two points of weapon/armor upgrades.


I'm less familiar with what James has for undead, but maybe:
1 unit Elite foot (vampire + retinue)
2 units ravenous hordes w/ fear (zombies, ghouls, etc..)
1 unit greater warbeasts w/flying (giant bat monster)
that leaves four points for upgrades, a third unit of zombies, or some other unit.

[Eilif]

So far it looks like 4 of us.

Tim and I are interested in Dragon Rampant, but we're the only ones who own it. So....

If Michael and James want to play it, we can teach you guys. Alternatively, Tim and I play Dragon Rampant and the two of you can play OPR or something.

No pressure either way, just let us know what you want to play and I'll make arrangements.

Sounds good. Karl, do you want to play a 24 point game or maybe something larger?
