Steam & Sorcery

We got quite a few games in over the holiday break at the end of last year / beginning of this year. This is one particularly fun play we had late on Christmas Eve after spending the day & early evening with family. Unfortunately, I forgot to take an overhead shot of the table before we started the game. I also neglected to take any photos in the last turn of the game.    I'll blame both of those mistakes on us playing late at night after a long day.  Thankfully, I was able to make a mock-up to show the location & types of the terrain overlaid onto the scenario layout from the rules & get quite a few pics of the game leading up to that brief, last turn. Scenario & Terrain We played Brawlmachine scenario 1: Orbits & used a  random terrain generator  to choose what terrain we'd use & how to lay it out. All descriptions going forward are from my vantage point (the Skorne side of the table). There was a rectangular zone running from left to right on the left

I like to do something hobby oriented almost every day.  Sometimes that means painting a model from start to finish. Sometimes that means just replacing the parchment paper on my wet palette so it's ready the next day. On days when I don't have much time or maybe didn't get much sleep, I prefer not to focus on painting a model or using a sharp blade to clean up mold lines on a new build. Often, I'll use those days to make terrain. Making things like boulders, stone walls, trees, etc gives a lot of latitude, because things are not perfectly symmetrical in nature. So, it doesn't matter if something isn't perfectly square or flat. In fact, it makes it look better to have all those little imperfections; especially when you're making rocks / boulders. The materials / tools I used were: Rigid foam insulation scraps Spackling Hot wire cutter /  Hobby knife Low-temp hot glue gun &  hot glue sticks Small plastic glue spreader  Sand paper ModPodge Acrylic paint Bu

I got quite a few plays in with Skorne the last 2 months. I'm starting to get more comfortable with them, but I'd hardly say that I'm at the point of feeling super competitive as a Skorne player. That said, this was one of the first few games where I was starting to get into the groove & not feel so lost with them . It was also one of Donna's first games running a new caster & list for her Protectorate including a 'Jack Marshall with a Repenter. Scenario & Terrain We rolled a d6 to choose the scenario & played Brawlmachine Scenario 1: Orbits. On one side of the table was a circular zone & opposite of it was a rectangular zone. There were 2 flags centered from left to right, with each one being 16" from each player's starting table edge. For our terrain layout, we used a  random terrain generator . A stone wall (obstacle with cover) was in line with the circular zone about 11" from the Protectorate table edge. Roughly 8" to the
