Utherwald Press / Weird Science Update!

« on: May 27, 2019, 08:19:03 AM »

A recent conversion has prompted a look and some ideas how Weird Science works in Frozen Skies under the SWADE rules. How Power Points and Devices work now warranted a rethink for Frozen Skies. Hoping to preserve the differences between Glim-Tech and Ancient Terran devices, if anything to reflect their own style and theme.

Utherwald Press / Update May 2019

« on: May 20, 2019, 08:04:41 AM »

So...its been a wee while since an update on things was posted.

The big thing most people are going to be interested in is what is currently happening with Frozen Skies, chiefly the update to SWADE. Also covered will be plans for the future, new products and potential events. There will also be a small announcement, so hang around for that.

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies: Post-Campaign Thoughts

« on: May 13, 2019, 07:53:59 AM »

Certainly a few things that I could've done differently or better with my Frozen Skies campaign, things I'm sure that my players can pitch in on. So this week I'm taking the chance to address the things that come to mind for me and what, if possible, could've been changed. Will also post about ideas I have forming for my next Frozen Skies campaign, no matter the format that takes.

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies: The Broken Spires Conspiracy

« on: May 06, 2019, 07:29:57 AM »

There are a handful of plotlines I had planned for my Frozen Skies campaign, but never got the chance to do much with these. Big focus of some of these revolved around the sky pirate haven of Broken Spires; which got teased but no follow through. So this week we'll take a look at these and what could possibly had happened had the campaign continued.

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies: The Spitsworth Family

« on: April 29, 2019, 05:03:13 PM »

What started as a background detail for a character morphed into a plotline that ended up driving a campaign forward. This week, as part of a series of posts related to my now finished campaign, will focus on the Spitsworth family. Included will be a brief description of its members, plus some extra details that’ll flesh out the family even more.

Well done on getting to the end of the campaign! Sounds like it was fun all round

Thank you, though I was hoping it would run for a bit longer as it gave me something to write blog posts about.

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Episode 21: Endgame

« on: April 22, 2019, 09:59:17 AM »

So after a lunchtime shoot-out in a country pub, the crew prepared themselves for an assault on Spitsworth Manor. Expecting a recreation of the Forlorn Hope or the Charge of the Light Brigade, almost nobody could've expected the explosive finale. It was a night to remember, one filled with ferocious battle, fiery destruction and the fall of many a great name.

Utherwald Press / Commonwealth Revisited: The Garda

« on: April 15, 2019, 09:34:33 AM »

Continuing the effort to take another look at the Commonwealth and make revisions where needed, we take a look at the Commonwealth’s national police force; the Garda.

We take a look at the Garda’s origins and how it became the force it is today. In addition, we’ll also take a look at the Garda’s current roles and some ideas for including the Garda in your games of Frozen Skies.

Utherwald Press / Re: Frozen Skies Episode 20: Two Pints of Cider and a SMG

Adventure Cards are an optional extra, not required but do add a level of fun and extra opportunities for the players.
Love Interest and Enemy have been firm favourites in my group, plus certain cards have had a huge impact when played right.
I'm going to answer your interview questions soon, maybe tonight if work is quiet.

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Episode 20: Two Pints of Cider and a SMG

« on: April 08, 2019, 02:55:08 PM »

Previously, the crew put their plan into action to restore Reginald to his family's good graces...or at least to gain unrestricted access to the Spitsworth family wealth. This week was the next stage of the plan, one that concerned Reginald's sister Elisa. The hope was to convince her to come along and stage a kidnapping and then rescue by Reginald. As it turned out, things really go to plan nor as expected.

Utherwald Press / Rogue’s Gallery: Queen Lothwyn

« on: April 01, 2019, 04:56:56 PM »

An ongoing project at the moment is going through and nailing the background lore for the wider world of the Frozen Skies setting.  Part of this has included a series of recent posts covering a revision of the Commonwealth and part of its military in the form of the Royal Aero-Fleet. Plan to do a few more posts concerning the Commonwealth, but realized that I haven’t written much about the most important person in the Commonwealth: Queen Lothwyn II.

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Episode 19: The Spitsworth Redemption, Part I

« on: March 25, 2019, 09:46:51 AM »

Last time saw the crew hit the casinos in search of a bounty, efforts that were nearly ruined by a certain doctor who sometimes let his mouth run off when it really shouldn't. Fortunately one character had one heck of a beginner's luck at the tables and they managed to capture the bounty. Though there is a looming vendetta from a taxi driver's union.

This week saw the crew put a plan into action to put a character back in their family's good standing...well last man standing far as the will is concerned.

Utherwald Press / Commonwealth Revisited: The Royal Aero-Fleet

« on: March 18, 2019, 04:55:30 PM »

Part of an ongoing mini-series where I take a look at the fluff of the wider world of Frozen Skies and possibly revise it. As the main power in Alyeska, it made sense to start with the Commonwealth particularly as there were some parts of it that I wasn’t fully happy with. The next step was looking at the Commonwealth’s military and making changes where I had new ideas, in this instance a complete revision of the Commonwealth’s air forces.

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Episode 18: Casino Royale

« on: March 11, 2019, 10:19:33 AM »

Following on from the train heist, the crew ended up in a casino....though not for another heist. This was the crew's first shot at bounty hunting, which they managed to successfully pull off. It proved to be Beginner's Luck and the Jackpot for one of the characters, whilst another may have brought the wrath of the local taxi drivers' union down upon the crew.

Utherwald Press / Cold War Skirmishes SWADE Update

« on: March 04, 2019, 03:03:33 PM »

This week we’re heading back to Cold War Skirmishes, mainly going over some stuff and updating them to SWADE. Recently released an adventure through the Savage Worlds Adventurer’s Guild called Operation Thule; Set during the 1982 Falklands Conflict and featuring some Weird elements to showcase the potential of what came be run in the…erm…’setting’. This post builds upon Operation Thule by providing extra gear and vehicles to broaden the scope for a British military based game during the Cold War period. Do intend to cover the other powers and nations such as the Soviet Union and USA; I know more about the British military, which makes it a better starting point for me.
