Hope everything's been going well in all the training for you :)

Been busy and it's been a journey.
Had a setback where I ended up being re-coursed to an earlier intake, so taken couple of weeks longer than originally planned.
Spent the past week doing adventure training in Wales and now preparing for Final Inspection this coming week, hopefully graduate on the 20th and finally get to go home.

New Year, All Change.

Regular readers should hopefully be aware of a pretty major change in personal circumstances for me that is looming soon (the pic below is a good clue), though I have some pretty big news regarding that. Hand-in-hand with this is news of what's happening with Frozen Skies for 2022. So, should be something of interest for folk with this post.

Utherwald Press / December 2021: City of Rats
« on: December 06, 2021, 10:27:25 AM »
We're coming to the end of the year and the Festive Season (at time of writing) is almost upon us!

This time of year it is typically customary to give gifts, so this is what this month's blog post is all about. Some years ago I ran a Savage Worlds campaign based on the video game Dishonored, something that I created a fan adaptation for. I've been wanting to run a follow-on game for some time, but we've had the Adventure Edition of Savage Worlds released since I originally ran the game. So my gift to folk this year is an updated version of my Dishonored fan adaptation for SWADE.

Enjoy!

I've posted about the world of Darmonica beyond the shores of Alyeska, ever-expanding the overall setting of Frozen Skies. One of the things I've posted about has been the Commonwealth Colony of Orduesh, an outpost located in the southern deserts. This week we're going back to this little outpost and exploring some options to expand your games of Frozen Skies.

Well, I was planning on covering airships in another post which should clear things up.
Given that I'm going into the RAF next year, I'm gonna try to get things so I can release a rules only version and later release the complete version with updated fluff and new artwork.

You say that all aircraft are required to move at least half their Hex Speed - is that literally everything or just normal planes? (I'm thinking here e.g. zeppelin type aircraft or big flying animals that could maybe hover without penalty).
Just normal planes.

Recently had the chance to do a one shot where we ended up running an air combat for Frozen Skies, again it seemed like the air combat rules had a solid foundation and the hex grid certainly seems like the way forward. That said, it was also an opportunity to get some more feedback from my players and brainstorm ideas for possible revisions and improvements. As it turned out there were some good ideas to make movement more clearer and keeping it true to the Fast Furious Fun motto of Savage Worlds.

Discussion and Debate - The Philosopher's Plaza / Re: Afghanistan
« on: September 07, 2021, 04:20:02 PM »
Believe the two big issues with Afghanistan has been widespread corruption and the fact that the warlords fought for whoever happened to be paying them at the time, meaning that they were happy to switch to the Taliban when ISAF stopped paying and vice versa.
But as I said, will post some time when I have time.

When I get the chance later, I'll post some stuff that may make interesting reading/viewing....the Forces News channel on Youtube have done a few vids about Afghanistan's possible future.
Considering I've been trying to join the RAF since 2008 looks like I dodged a bullet here.

As summer gives away to autumn and the final few months of the year, perhaps a good time to announce a project I've begun which I hope to have finished before the year's end. It's a supplement for Cold War Skirmishes that I hope to release via the Savage Worlds Adventurer's Guild on DriveThruRPG and may form the general format for CWS related products going forward.

Oh and SWAGtember III: Return of the SWAG Bundle is how out. Check it out to find a ton of great community created content and my Operation Thule adventure.

Utherwald Press / August 2021: Alyeskan Gazetteer - Scrapper's Island
« on: August 02, 2021, 04:55:39 PM »
Certainly been a while since we've had a Gazetteer post, so probably high time that was addressed. As ever this serves to explore the untamed wilds and expand the map of Alyeska, thus providing more fodder for people's games of Frozen Skies. In this month's entry we take a look at one of many ventures that failed to live up to their investor's expectations.

Utherwald Press / July 2021: To Pay Donn's Toll
« on: July 05, 2021, 09:54:51 AM »
This month we're back in the world of Frozen Skies with a look at an idea for some background lore for the setting. The genesis of this stems from a recent discussion about the portrayal of the afterlife in fantasy settings and various different cultures. Focusing on the Commonwealth here whose beliefs are rooted in Celtic mythology but altered and adapted to fit the setting.

Good grief, almost halfway through the year.

We're now heading into summer (or winter for those readers residing in the southern hemisphere) as signalled by it not raining for more than five minutes here in the UK, so it seems like a good enough excuse for an update on things. It'll be a short post, covering Frozen Skies and some personal stuff that still effect things.

Utherwald Press / May 2021: Clan of the Fallen
« on: May 03, 2021, 10:24:29 AM »
This month we return to the world of Frozen Skies by building some background lore, something that could possibly be used in games of Frozen Skies. It builds upon the clan society of the Commonwealth that I was aiming for, in addition introduces a plot angle for people to play with. Hopefully it'll be something that folk will find interesting and, if the reception is good, I'll see about doing more of these lore/plot-hook posts.

Utherwald Press / April 2021: Forsaken Revisited
« on: April 05, 2021, 10:37:05 AM »
For a while I've had ideas for other settings beside Frozen Skies, settings that I've posted about time and time again. One of these has been a Dark SciFi that I'd dubbed Forsaken Space, which revolved around a single system where wrecked spaceships seem to be drawn to. Though I'm mulling going into a different direction with it, hence this post.
