Koyote Posted January 20, 2016 Report Share Posted January 20, 2016 From the Lead Adventure Forum: I think Joe will forgive me for answering these queries... Captains can freely purchase their equipment (any of the basic weapons available to Soldiers, including bows etc.), and can re-arm during a campaign. In addition to that and the aforementioned Tricks of the Trade, Captains also have a few more little features that can make them a terror in a fight...

Koyote Posted February 9, 2016 Report Share Posted February 9, 2016 Out in time for the release of Into the Breeding Pits in July, this boxed set will, like the Cultists, allow you to either build a horde of slavering beasts to oppose your warbands, or to construct a savage warband, well suited for allying with a more bestial wizard (on which, more later...).

Koyote Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 In this supplement for Frostgrave, players lead their warbands into the northern reaches of the city, exploring the ruined temples of the Frozen City to search for the lost secrets of evocation – the art of summoning demons. While the lure of such knowledge is great, few wizards have ventured into this region as it is overrun by barbaric northern tribesmen who have descended from the hills in their own search for treasure. Marking themselves with demonic sigils, many of these barbarians have aligned with ancient powers discovered amongst the temples. Along with a host of new scenarios focusing on the exploration of the temples, the book also contains new treasures, spells, soldiers, and creatures that can be found amongst the ruins.

Koyote Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 With this new supplement for Frostgrave, players can lead their warbands into the vast network of catacombs, sewers, and dungeons that run underneath the Frozen City. It was in these dark confines that the ancient wizards known as Beastcrafters experimented on living creatures, creating strange hybrids and deadly monsters, many of which still roam the forgotten passageways. Along with a host of new scenarios, treasures, soldiers, and creatures, the book also contains rules for the traps and secret passages that are often found in the dungeons. With the wonderful and rare magical treasures to be discovered, will players risk taking their warbands down into the Breeding Pits?

jdw1710 Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 Hi Koyote, are you planning on buying these supplements directly from North Star in the UK, or is there a distributor in the US? With the conversion from English Pounds to US dollars, and then adding shipping cost of 25% to cross the pond, items from North Star are approximately 70% increase from list price. Ouch. I guess many are used to that price increase with "other games" from the UK. Thankyou, Jim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted February 22, 2016 Report Share Posted February 22, 2016 The online retailer FRP Games, which ships from California, stocks Frostgrave books and minis. You can find more online US retailers through Amazon. The first two books were originally released as part of a 'Nickstarter' package which included free minis and sprues. I expect that the next two books will get the same treatment, so I will likely order from Northstar. The free goodies offsets the cost of UK shipping.

Swan-of-War Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Question on the Brew Potion spell: Is it determined at random (rerolling 20s) or does the caster choose? Not seeing an answer in the Errata. Would like to think its at random, else you could load up on Summon Demon potions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Caster chooses. The caster "gains one potion of any type (except Elixer of Life)." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 OK, that's the same answer I've been getting elsewhere - thanks! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted March 2, 2016 Report Share Posted March 2, 2016 Being able to load up on demon in a bottle potions is pretty powerful, but then again there are some other very useful potions that one might consider as well, such as invisibility, teleport, and invulnerability. If your caster doesn't have these spells in his repertoire, then these potions become even more valuable to you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swan-of-War Posted March 3, 2016 Report Share Posted March 3, 2016 ...If your caster doesn't have these spells in his repertoire... This is the part that I was thinking might be unbalanced. Need to try it out first, of course, as it doesn't seem to be an issue anywhere I've asked. Thanks again! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Koyote Posted May 15, 2016 Report Share Posted May 15, 2016 An Overview of 'Into The Breeding Pits' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted June 1, 2016 Report Share Posted June 1, 2016 The official webpage isn't up yet, but the 'Into the Breeding Pits' Gnickstarter deals can be found on North Star's web store. LINKY Level Four Gnickstarter Pre-order. This is the best deal for current players as it includes all the new stuff. One copy of Into The Breeding Pits, a supplement for Frostgrave, the Fantasy skirmish game. One box of plastic Frostgrave Gnolls. The box contains twenty multi-part plastic figures. The Frostgrave Gnolls come cheaper in a Gnickstarter deal than bought separately. Eight metal Frostgrave Gnolls. The Gnolls specialist soldiers include a thief, barbarian, apthocary, warhound, tracker, marksman, knight and templar. The Frostgrave Gnolls come cheaper in a Gnickstarter deal than bought separately. Six metal Frostgrave Wizards. Firstly you get a Beastcrafter and apprentice, a new wizard class for Into The Breeding Pits. You also get a new Soothsayer and apprentice and a new Elementalist and apprentice. These are based on the artwork of Dmitry Burmak from the new book. The new wizards come cheaper in a Gnickstarter deal than bought separately. Two metal Specialist Soldiers, the Trap Expert and Tunnel Fighter. Both these new soldier types are detailed in Into The Breeding Pits. Every Pit Chief order comes with a free Wizard Sheet from Osprey, a card screen that includes a quick reference sheet and warband record sheet for both your Wizard and their soldiers. each Pit Chief also receives a free figure of a Barbarian Chief. He's a taster of what's to come in the third Frostgrave supplement, Forgotten Pacts, due out in November. The Gnickstarter ends 4th July 2016. Your pre-order will be sent as soon after that date as we can. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted June 3, 2016 Report Share Posted June 3, 2016 Just in time for Frostgrave's new supplement, Into the Breeding Pits, Cigar Box Battle Mats is now selling a cavern mat and a dungeon map. And here is the cavern mat with the addition of homemade rock formations. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wildcat Posted June 6, 2016 Report Share Posted June 6, 2016 Nice mats. I was looking at ordering models from Northstar, but seeing they don't deduct the 20% VAT from the list price for the US, I refuse too. Another crooked UK vendor. I am looking else where for my miniatures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Koyote Posted June 7, 2016 Report Share Posted June 7, 2016 Nice mats. I was looking at ordering models from Northstar, but seeing they don't deduct the 20% VAT from the list price for the US, I refuse too. Another crooked UK vendor. I am looking else where for my miniatures.There are quite a few US online retailers (e.g. FRP, Warstore, Noble Knight Games, Amazin, etc.), that carry Frostgrave products. You should also keep in mind that Frostgrave is designed to be played using whatever minis players want to use. As such, you are not bound by the game's rules or convention to use Frostgrave models. Below is an excerpt from a July 2015 interview with Joseph McCullough, Frostgrave's creator (emphasis added). Are there 'non-humans' in Frostgrave? If so, what do they do, are they outlaws? Are there 'armies' of them around the area? If by ‘non-humans’ you mean orcs, elves, and dwarves, the answer is no. I wanted people to feel free to use whatever miniatures they wanted to represent their warbands, and I believe the best way to do this was by not creating specific racial characteristics. All of the troop types in the game are suitably generic that they can easily be represented by an elf, dwarf or a mousling, without creating the imbalance that often results from specific racial traits. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
