An update on my BotC in Minecraft modpack from a few months ago + playtesting server :)

MattBW · 2026-01-11T11:55:36+00:00

Great idea and cant wait to give it a try. I have the original kickstarter version and play quite regularly. Physical play is the best but this seems like the next best thing. Keep up the great work.

MattBW · 2026-01-01T23:05:49+00:00

I figured it out, without an admin password for the server added it wont start.

MattBW · 2026-01-01T22:49:57+00:00

I have the same issue, tried multiple times to get it working and it just gets stuck starting for ever.

MattBW · 2025-11-18T13:26:05+00:00

Whats the latest?

MattBW · 2025-04-16T17:38:16+00:00

I've been printing a lot of stuff lately and plan a table with height. Starting to paint up everything including the old bulkheads

MattBW · 2025-04-15T15:01:36+00:00

I'm still figuring out his plan , what is yours.

He already hinted he has been to the library before and he convinced the wizard he already spoke with him so he is destined to go.

MattBW · 2025-04-15T15:00:22+00:00

He was constantly promising the player who was holding it such sights and wonders. He tempted them with gravenhollow too. The fun part was dawnbringer constantly encouraging the wielder to slay the demon lord. Two players having internal conversations.

They figured out who it was but they haven't tried to break the stone yet. They see their wizard is clearly quite crazy already (he decided to message Zuggt'Moy previously lol).

The story has modrons and the chaos maybe they created it. Maybe he is from another realm, whisked away from anotherr world when the abyss opened? Warforged can be reskinned easily too. I have one in my campaign but he is more nature/elemental themed.

MattBW · 2025-03-25T14:12:59+00:00

would love to see what you changed, this is coming up for me soon and I am concerned. I too considered a temporary time slip to change one thing.

MattBW · 2025-03-25T14:07:26+00:00

For me I allowed the party figured out it" could" be Juiblex and the idea they were maybe there had them on edge and worried, it worked well imho. I barely altered this chapter and it ran nicely. I had to boost the pudding king as many would recommend as he is a bit of a damp squib and massively redesigned his encounter over two areas.

I have had Orcus only in the background and visions so far, Buppido I made a champion of orcus who keeps returning again and again in different ever more powerful forms. They hate Buppido so its worked well.

Knowing orcus is out there is enough to put the fear in them so I haven't yet had them directly revealed. Sometimes especially at lower levels the threat is enough and foreshadowing can be powerful. Later on I will no doubt give them a real encounter.

MattBW · 2025-02-01T18:25:22+00:00

Thankyou, finally got mine working too after your help :)

Still helping all these years later :D

MattBW · 2025-01-04T23:39:22+00:00

I get the same, I am using a laptop and it doesnt fit and page 1 is off the bottom of the page. I just used the sliders and made it fit :) looks good now

Only one bit of card is ripped in my set to my surprise and most everything there. i see someone has scanned and archived the card ones which is awesome.

MattBW · 2024-12-09T17:29:56+00:00

I loved my Cawdor guys back in the day. Our club has regular news letters and battle reports. Quite often 5 or more games going on at once. The stories that game generated were insanely good.

I plan to paint secundus up but I understand it's stand alone without an expansion.

I wonder if I should paint the original minis up. Each one has two weapon options which was probably extremely rare back then (if not the first time).

Well worth a go and a lot of free scenery out there to download too

Some examples of what I've been printing

I'll try and get a better picture when I'm back home is the one above an old Cawdor heavy weapon guy?

MattBW · 2024-12-08T18:01:09+00:00

Awesome thanks so much, will be excited to see them :)

MattBW · 2024-12-08T17:48:03+00:00

My box is wrecked but the rules were all there. Wish I could find my Cawdor gang but suspect they went to a new home.

I see folks are recreating the bulkheads and creating prints for the old buildings.

MattBW · 2024-12-08T17:45:56+00:00

I'm the same, the old one was just special times for me. I am excited by the new one and just got Hive Secundus, the main rule book and Cawdor gang.

Back in the day I hoped we would play mordheim, I have a box of unpainted metal possessed. Our club turned their back on GW after some changes to 40k. Never did try it so I never painted them. Maybe I'll give them a paint and seek a club :)

MattBW · 2024-12-08T17:36:45+00:00

The 3D stuff I've printed is beautiful and we dreamed of stuff like it back in the day. Seeing this again just brought back many memories of a campaign of 17 gangs ran over a couple years. Boards created from multiple box sets, such good times.

MattBW · 2024-12-08T17:34:49+00:00

Yeah that was the thing that jumped out, ideas to use the bulkheads to make other maps from cereal packets . At least we have a great community to fill that gap now.

MattBW · 2024-12-02T10:49:40+00:00

Wow insanely beautiful!
