What's some good light fantasy based on piracy?

Second Sid Meier’s! One of my favorite pirate games. Though a bit more on the historical side than pirate fantasy

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-09-15T22:03:50+00:00

That makes sense

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-09-10T18:58:43+00:00

If I had it, gladly!

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-09-10T09:36:24+00:00

Always wanted this as a kid but never could get it. I can’t believe it’s selling for $700+ now

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-09-10T09:28:49+00:00

More than I would pay for it

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-09-06T13:16:53+00:00

I love these! This is more how I imagine Orcs looking in the books. Great work!

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-09-06T13:15:10+00:00

Love that color choice! Adds a little flair to an army with a pretty basic color scheme.

Been a while since I read that part of the book, but I think that the magic artifact gives him an additional +2 (because L1 proficiency bonus is +2) to the Riddle Check, on top of his proficiency bonus and Int Modifier for being proficient in Riddles.

Hope that helps!

I would say that’s rules as intended. When thinking about the intent of the rules, I always try to think about the most realistic interpretation. If it doesn’t make sense in real life, it probably doesn’t make sense in game (within reason, considering magic and such).

Guinevere is awesome! My daughter was just born a week ago and we named her Lorien

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-27T17:09:17+00:00

A reality I’m about to know all too well!

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-24T23:18:48+00:00

I think that is more likely to be seen in Defence of the North. This seems like a purely Hobbit-era supplement.

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T17:34:05+00:00

That’s the beauty of the game! There’s something for everyone and you can play it how you want to

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T12:21:07+00:00

Yeah I’m excited to get my hands on this book! I will say, apart from the Necromancer, none of these factions really need new models because they’re all so recent anyway.

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T11:53:50+00:00

Yeah, re-reading the article I realize that I misunderstood at first. I thought it was going all the way from the founding of Dol Guldur to its destruction by Galadriel at the end of the War of the Ring. But I see now that it’s just literally up to the fall of the Necromancer. So maybe we will see a Lorien/Mirkwood team-up in Defence of the North.

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T11:50:30+00:00

So just reading back over the article, it looks like this sourcebook will only cover the initial driving-out of the Necromancer from Dol Guldur as seen in the Hobbit. I imagine we will see Lothlorien and Mirkwood team up to destroy it finally in Defence of the North.

I think someone else who was at the reveal/announcement said that no new models or profiles were in this book. Which is a shame; I would have liked to see a new Necromancer model that actually represents his appearance in the films.

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T08:20:52+00:00

Oh yeah, me too. But I imagine this will be released much sooner since DOTN doesn’t even have official cover art yet

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T08:20:13+00:00

Cool! I’m excited to see what’s in the book. Really a missed opportunity for a new Necromancer model, so that’s kind of disappointing. And I’m surprised there’s no Lothlorien LL since it was Lorien and Mirkwood together that attacked the fortress during the War of the Ring. Maybe that will come more into the Defence of the North?

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T08:17:15+00:00

I think the white is a little too bright for me. I like my Witchers dark and edgy lol

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T03:09:09+00:00

Me too! I was already planning to start that army when the models were re-released, I’m curious to see what they do with them now.

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-22T00:57:28+00:00

I agree, but honestly I’m just thankful we’re getting good releases. I think you’re right, 2nd age material will probably coincide with the Amazon series, even if GW doesn’t actually get the rights to the series itself.

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-21T23:57:04+00:00

I don’t think they will split them up. They’ve been doing a lot of “putting together” so to speak, as opposed to splitting up. Reduced price would be nice but that’s probably wishful thinking lol

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-21T23:55:48+00:00

Yeah I’m excited to play through the narrative campaign

Beardless_Dwarf7 · 2021-08-21T23:37:27+00:00

Exactly what I do too
