Super Cheap Gobbo's!

 Hi!

I've been pottering around with Brutal Quest with the vague idea of putting together a Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay themed super cheap campaign and with that in mind, I've been doodling Goblins:

Goblin Characters

They're a bit rough and ready and I'll need to reprint them slightly smaller so they are suitably sized for Goblins but its been a really nice and easy mini project and I now have a veritable horde of little greenskins to menace any adventurers I end up with.

Goblin Great Weapons

While the Hathor campaign is ongoing, I do want to delve back into some fantasy gaming and figure that this might be a quick and easy method of doing so as with the increase in costs of pretty much everything these days, my hobby budget is severely limited in what I can get miniatures wise.

With this approach, I can at least play lots of quick and easy games by just making use of pen and paper. While it's not as satisfying as fully painted miniatures, it does have a charm of its own and if folks are interested, I can start compiling the artwork into a separate page here on the blog so you guys can make use of them too.

I actually played out a test game using a combination of Brutal Quest, Planet 28, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay and some random elements introduced with Rory's Story Cubes and diverse other gubbins that I threw together and ended up having a really enjoyable experience so I may end up putting together either a post here or even a youtube video if I can muster the courage to do so detailing the campaign as I think it could be rather fun.

We shall see how I get on but I need to get the actual combination of rules and stuff worked out first and will need to make a bunch more paper standees featuring possible adventurers, npcs and whatnot to give me a decent selection of stuff to play with, especially if anyone else wishes to give it a try.

With that in mind, I'm going to be spending a bit of time hashing out the process of creating some characters and stats and will need to try out some playtest games to make sure it all works but expect to see a few more odds and ends turning up in the not too distant future as I keep working away at the project.

Speaking of which, I'm headed down to the post office today to pick up the Rory's Story Dice Actions and Journeys sets which my postie hasn't managed to deliver so I may post a bit of blather about how I use them to enhance my games in a future post but until then, All the best!

  3. Many thanks!

    I'll be adding to the selection here in the not too distant future so other folks can make use of them too so watch this space!

    My spare room is groaning under the weight of books and miniatures so finding a cheap, easily stored option for quick campaigns is proving really handy!
