We recently completed the penultimate 4th episode of our Tales of Blades and Heroes Campaign
http://chicagoskirmishwargames.com/blog/2016/12/06/summerfall-campaign-session-4-seeking-ezikos-bane/

Our GM has been putting together some amazing scenarios and this one was no different. River monsters, pIrate ships, Mercenaries, and possibly ghostly villagers it was quite a game on a darned impressive table.





I'm not a fan of pen and pencil RPG'ing, but this campaing has won me over to the fun of terrain heavy RPG Skirmishing.

Like some of our other projects, this campaign has been slightly obscured by our lack of a blog last year. Those wanting to see how the campaign has gone until now can visit these posts on our club's forum:

Pre Campagin TBH trial run:

Campagin sessions 1-3.

Unfortunately, session 1 (a huge town layout) and 3 (an underground cavern maze) were not well photographed, but the second session of exploring the abandoned mining town was very well documented.

Cool, i have been very interested lately in narrative wargaming. Primarily, how mechanics can be used to create the feel for such games.

This seems like a nice campaign as an example. Thanks for sharing.

If you don;t mind, how did your characters find clues and interact with others in a non-combat situation?

Thanks!
Glad you enjoyed it. TBH really seems to be a great system for this kind of thing.

Clues were mostly facilitated by found items and environments described by the GM. Intraction was basic role-playing by the participants.

Do you guys have an RSS feed? I love your stuff but only read blogs on Flipboard.

I don't know anything about RSS or how it works, but we do have an RSS icon at the bottom of our blog page.

Hope that helps.

Well there is an icon but sadly it's not functional. RSS is the only way people can read your blog without having to navigate to your webpage, instead adding it to their favourite reader app like Flipboard, Newsify etc. I read a couple of dozen blogs so having to go to their respective webpages to check for new posts and read them would be a huge hassle. Instead I have everything in one place in a nice magazine format. Would love if you could add it eventually so I could read your lovely blog

I'll check with our Web Guru Blog Editor. I'm not sure if it's somethign he wants to add, but I'll let you know.

The RSS feed has been repaired. Thanks for bringing it to our attention!
