Anyone know anything about it?

I appreciate a miniature manufacturer-agnostic game, and the idea of a campaignable fantasy skirmish game sounds neat. With Osprey as the publisher, it'll be pretty. Still, I've never thought of Osprey as a games company. Maybe Mordheim does it better, but I thought it would be worth sharing.

Looks neat!

That does look pretty cool. I'll maybe have to give it a look when it comes out.

Definitely interested in this. I have all the models I need already so that helps. If you pick up the book Jim I will probably give it a try.

Preordered it for $18 through Amazon. Should be here the 21st!

I'll play with you Jim for the short time I am here.

I'm stoked that it's got rules for wandering monsters. I loved coming up with rules for player vs player vs environment scenarios for Malifaux when I did Walpurgis, and hope this is similar.

And here are the downloadable spell lists, which give you an idea of some of the combos you can come up with.

I like that it suggests that oftentimes, game winning doesn't matter as much as the treasure you get. I love that about scenario based campaign play, where everyone has their own objectives, and it doesn't matter who "wins" or "loses" so long as you get what you were after that game.
