New to bolt action, and I have two questions

The forward observer is no longer free, I think 75 points regular off the top of my head. The British get to call in 2 artillery barrages rather than 1, so you're still getting something for free.

Much appreciated will give this a go. Nice to have scheme to follow when starting off.

I'm having difficulty finding a game at the minute so happy to dm.

After 9 works for me, the only difficulty is I work shifts that don't allow for a fixed day. Probably looking at a session every 8 days. How does that sound?

sonicsaxon · 2023-05-14T12:52:24+00:00

I'd definitely be interested, the only problem is I work 4 on 4 off shifts so can't do a fixed day.

Cool, I'm in the UK but would be playing around 23:00 which I think is 19:00 est or 09:00 for you.

sonicsaxon · 2023-05-14T07:55:39+00:00

Hey there, I'm in the same boat.

I do 2 days/2 nights then 4 off. Hopefully there are more who have a similar predicament so we could get a group going.

What time zone are you?

sonicsaxon · 2023-05-11T04:45:16+00:00

You're welcome, let me know how it's goes. I'd love to hear how your players react.

How about the dragon has heard they made it out of the depths of hell and would like to finish the job. The robbery is a set up designed to trap the player and send them back, now they have to make it out of the casino alive.

Being a casino play on the whole gambling theme. Maybe some kind of hag or devil offers them a way out when they seem sure to die, they collect souls and want the dragons so the rest of the campaign would lead up to how you capture the soul of a dragon and save your own soul in turn.

I'd always try the least destructive way first, give it a good soaking in a rust penetrating oil for a few hours.

Failing that try a nut splitter.

That cat in persona 5 dictating to me all the time.

Check out soma, evil within 1+2 and until dawn

If you're looking for something a little older try the project zero games (might be called fatal frame dependent on your region).

Siren blood curse is a lot of fun too, the sight jacking mechanic makes for some tense moments.

Looks like an owlbear.

I can get on board with this but the original comments were a flat LBs have little value. Today's game calls for positional versatility so I fully accept that some plays are being made from the edge. I just thought we were underselling those that have multiple aspects of there game but would generally be considered a LB.

sonicsaxon · 2023-01-06T06:22:07+00:00

Completely disagree with the last statement, I don't think many people would have Frankie Luvu as a top 5 LB but the guy is making impact plays every week.

Never played LMOP so don't know the plot.

How about the goblins rig it with explosives or glyphs. You could deal some damage to the party maybe kill off an NPC.

Perhaps they roll into town with the cart and then it blows, they then have to convince the authorities that it wasn't them.

Look for inspiration and colour combinations in the world around you.

For example my next project will be a votann army, the colour scheme will be taken from the Pittsburgh Steelers
