Iron Kingdoms – Undead Pirate Facepalm

February 4, 2014 by holojacob 4 Comments

In RPGs, players play the campaigns. The campaigns should not play the players. There’s a fine line between guiding players and super-gluing them to the plot. Players want to affect the world around them, shape its events, and defeat its obstacles. They do not want to sit passively by while plot happens or be led […]

Iron Kingdoms – Kraken Smash!

January 29, 2014 by holojacob 2 Comments

NPCs are tricky to get right. You can pour hours into crafting what you think is an entertaining and engaging character, complete with intricate backstory, only to have the players not like him. Or ignore him. Or rob him blind. Never mind that NPCs can have very short lifespans around players. And there’s the problem: […]

Iron Kingdoms – Epic Ghost Ship versus Shopping

January 11, 2014 by holojacob 4 Comments

There are many ways to introduce new characters into a campaign. A memorable introduction can really set the tone for how the other players will interact with the new guy or gal. And sometimes, it’s just fun to have a really ridiculous and flashy entrance to help get things rolling. I had one such entrance […]

Iron Kingdoms – Release the Blood Witches!

December 9, 2013 by holojacob 2 Comments

Sometimes, you get those players. You know. Those players. The ones that really get into their cold, brooding, greedy assassin character’s skin and just aren’t in the mood to party up. And that’s okay, I guess. That goes along with the whole roleplay experience. But the thing is we’ve got a campaign to get going, […]

Warmachine Tactics – Cryx: Skarlock Thrall

June 28, 2013 by holojacob Leave a Comment

Solos in Warmachine may not have the raw power and durability of warjacks or the sheer numbers enjoyed by infantry. But don’t discount them. For so few points, no models can tip the balance of a game quite like solos can. Today, I’m taking a look at the Skarlock Thrall. IN SHORT: Who doesn’t like […]

Infantry may not be the stars of Warmachine, but that doesn’t make them any less important.  From screening high priority targets to overwhelming a foe with sheer numbers, infantry plays a critical role, especially in the armies of Cryx.  Today, I’m taking a look at Blackbane’s Ghost Raiders. IN SHORT: Who doesn’t like zombie pirates? […]
