Hey all
Life, The Universe and Every-Other-Bloody-Thing have conspired against me, making my chances of landing Terror of the Lichemaster for July nothing short of heroic.
So, I've decided to abandon that (I'd rather do it properly than quickly), which means I have some time.
Now one of the things I love doing, is to try and set up narrative games. I like GMing them and I like allowing players to use the aspects of the game that are only available when a GM is about.
Now I realise that most often, the game proposer has some sort of idea which he then chucks out to the community and the community conforms (more or less) to the shape - in this case, I want to turn that around slightly, so that I can shape the game around the forces you have. I am expressly interested in the idea of people roleplaying their forces too - so this is not about allowing to nameless, faceless generals leading equally pointed up forces to face off against each other under the 'fair' eyes of a GM - this is about allowing YOU to be a character on the table and make intelligent, unbound-by-the-rules decisions about the best thing to do and have those evaluated by an engaged GM who wants an exciting narrative to be revealed through the medium of warhammer. This is about using all the weird little spells that have no obvious battlefield purpose. This is about illusions and 'most-likely' outcomes. This is about having your desire to shoot into your own troops evaluated by a GM, not the rules.
Of course, I could just put together a scenario with my own figures and invite others to play. I might even do that if nothing comes from my posts. BUT - this is your opportunity to create a custom game just for you and your opponent(s), with the right amount of up-front planning.
Anybody want some of that?
