You need to know what is beyond the wall, it ranges from NATSY to REALLY REALLY NASTY! 

Still the most dangerous thing are... humans and their ability to be petty and stupid!

Then there are dragons, mor eon those later!

mmmmm I`m in love... these books are utterly amazing.

Jon Snow is my favourite character. I just LOVE the chapters about the wall. Beyond the wall, OMG I can`t wait.

I do know one thing now... clearer than ever.

It doesn`t matter what rules I use to role play with; they`re all far too complicated in a totally unnecessary way. Dungeon World (which started out as a miniatures based 3D dungeon crawl game - much like Space Hulk did for sci-fi) and the simple rpg add on I included in these forums is without a doubt the way forward, for me at least. I think I`ll flesh out the rpg section properly to make it more rounded and usable for everyone. Looks like a 4th edition will soon be in the making   

Wow, Game of Thrones and me being all inspired.... dangerous combination

I`ll probably pick up all the figures I need for this (face to face) when I`m at Warfare in November. Until then, I`ll just work out everything I need to purchase for now; which is made harder for me by the fact I don`t know whats to come in the succeeding six books (I`m still on book one); but that works too, as I`ll place my initial campaign just before the books start, and expand (time line wise) as I read and learn more... seems like plenty of scope to keep me going on this for a very long time to come.

Set a budget per book and get someone who'se read them to choose the figures for you. Keep them in separate packages by book and that way you've got an extra incentive to finish and when you do: 



Cheers!

Haha... now that`s not a bad idea  


any volunteers  

Amendment (addition):

Actually, seriously.... if I set a budget, and could find someone who knows the books intimately... enough to choose, book by book, which figures I would need; as you say, I could have an endless source of loveliness to look forward to over the coming months - years even. It would require someone choosing the figures, slipping Leon the info needed to put each `book`s` worth of minis in appropriate envelopes for me to open when required, and bingo... endless fun.

Oh the joys of new projects and daydreaming 

If you need I could, but I'd say you need someone who REALLY knows the fantasy range too...

Cheers Lemmey, and thanks mate.....   let me think about it some more and see if I can come up with a good solution. I have a feeling the best thing I can do is probably read all the books first and then choose what I need  But the surprise in envelope idea does sound rather appealing I must admit. It`s not often you get a chance to be a big kid again and re-live christmas come early at my age hehe.

Well, presumably, after the first few books you'd have most of the figures you'd need for the major players - unless entirely new factions turn up out of the blue!

I'd have though you'd have the majority of the fantasy creatures in hand Six?

Of course I'm now being tempted to start reading them myself! I'll have to go and peek in the library later...

Cheers!

A couple do...

Don't tell Six

     

omg these books just keep on getting more and more amazing, and deeper and deeper.... wheels within wheels; but oh soooooooo doable  


oh yeah....  next campaign write up will be posted here tomorrow lol

But you know your character will NEVER EVER follow your plot!

    oh  god, never a truer word said

THIS THREAD will continue in video form as soon as I get it all up on my site.... dunno why I didn`t think of recording all my campaign sessions like this years ago.

QuoteHi Six,

Have a look at the images for Battles of Westeros and its expansions on BoardGameGeek: http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/67492/battles-of-westeros

I just spotted this old thread while I was doing `forum catch up`. Funnily enough, I have (over the last while) purchased just about everything for Battles of Westeros; both the big box games and all the expansions. Then I started picking up a few Battlelore boxes (Dwarves and Goblins mostly). The miniatures are great and the boards work amazingly well in 10mm... so I now add a lot of the Pendraken  range to my (lets call it) generic table top fantasy games.

I don`t do Thrones (tried it, didn`t like its story ark that much... and I couldn`t include all my lovely monsters). But, I do use the minis and the components both for stand alone games, and especially alongside my 10mm Dungeon stuff. The BOW and BL minis make great heroes, which I use alongside the smaller monster range... and the BOW maps are PERFECT for outdoors cameos in my campaign sessions.


Six.

A few BOW minis alongside a few pieces from my beloved Pendraken 10mm Dungeon range.... I think you`ll agree, the scales are nicely compatible.

finally gone Pro on my site today... so am uploading the first parts NOW.

God, this is going to take me a while, there's LOADS of it

Cool - looking forward to this...

its still in its infancy, but I think its ready for anyone to take a look at now if they wish.

still lots more of the Video campaign sessions to go up, but I`ll adds those that over the next few weeks. After which, I`ll add each new D&D game session as it happens.

Lots of other things to see as well in the various sections, but like I say... still loads more to do yet as the site`s still new. Have a browse about at your leisure. I`ve added a couple links to a few of the various pages below.
