16. Raid on Khemet

It is the 15th of Quona in the 13th Year of the Red Sun. The clerics of god Tovor held a conclave and agreed that the bursting of the sun and the scorching of their world was the result of evil in the land of Khemet. The High Theoginest of Tovor sent an army under the command of the Paladin Lord Donagel tovGalina into the lands of Khemet to find and destroy the evil work that is enlarging their sun.

Lord Donagel led his knights and soldiers of the Holy Order of the Purple Cup deep into Khemet. He did not know that he would not return, let alone end up as a meal for monsters.

I apologize for the picture order, I'm unsure how they became mixed up. This battle was fought using the rulebook The Portable Wargame. It is a low complexity system which is good for solo-wargaming. I used a random playing card activation system which seems to work better with one Jack card vice two as advised in the book.

This was just a test battle of the system and a much needed diversion from a hard week.

15. Pocket Adventure Card System

This coming Fall I plan to host a quarterly RPG game night at my home with a select few individuals. Of course this is pandemic permitting. If we can pull it together and play then I plan to start us off with the Pocket Adventure Card System.

Being a quarterly game there won't be time for long drawn out character development and rules research. We want to sit down and play. A simple RPG can be ever bit as rewarding as a complex one.

These cards are available at low cost and are print and play. There is also the option to order printed cards for $10 and I did and am very pleased with how they turned out. PACS uses coins to resolve encounters, we will use a d6 with a 4+ roll equating to a success. More to come....

14. HeroQuest

I've had three spare boxes of HeroQuest since 2001. I took them down, sorted and organized the contents into two complete sets. Then hosted two games for my family. I'm quite pleased with how well the game handles the test of time. It's still a fun dungeoncrawl experience.

I have some plans for the game. From 3D printing models, maps and constructing my own character class cards and quests.

13. Shadowfall Lord from Rocket Pig Games

My son saw this model in my monthly patreon subscription from Rocket Pig. He asked me to make and paint him one for his D&D5 session. I agreed. Here is my model. He will be some type of blight contagion spell-caster who casts his spells by touch.
