Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Session 5: "Trust me, I'm a drunk!"

« on: August 20, 2018, 02:54:58 PM »

After a break off over a month, the crew of the airship Waylander are back flying the Frozen Skies!

For one reason or another, the entire group hasn't been able to get together over the past month. One session got cancelled and the following ended up being a Savage 40K one-shot, but the whole crew is back in Alyeska. The group seemed to be happy getting back into the swing of things, though one of the players has ended up changing characters (more on that in a bit). This week, though slow to begin with, was a fun session.

I don't have the SciFi companion so it's hard to compare, but what's the rough size range here? Is the top end of the scale "World Killer" literally a planetoid-size ship, or?

The examples listed are; mega dreadnoughts, mega carriers and colony ships.

This week we're continuing with revisiting the other settings in the works from Utherwald Press. Taking the spotlight this time round is Forsaken Space; scavengers braving haunted wrecks in a SciFi Horror setting.

To help kickstart your ForSpace games, heres a wreck generator.

Continuing on with taking a look at other settings and products that Utherwald has in the works. This week it is the turn of Cold War Skirmishes and we'll be taking a look at a potential conflict that almost erupted in Central America during the early 1970s.

With Frozen Skies out I can relax a little and turn my attention to other setting ideas, something that I intend to do every so often. This time its the turn of the Gwentshire Chronicles, chiefly a look at another of the key characters in the setting; Ald Jack

Utherwald Press / Brokers of Secrets

« on: July 23, 2018, 03:07:23 PM »

This particular post was going to be another instalment of the Frozen Skies campaign I'm running. However, half the group wasn't able to make and so the session got cancelled. Hopefully in two weeks time it'll be the next bit of the campaign.

In the meantime, I've had to think of a different topic for this week's post...

Utherwald Press / Re: Rogue's Gallery: The Tundra Wolves

« on: July 18, 2018, 11:40:36 AM »

In the final para you have them as "Tundra Wulves" is that just a typo?

Also, since I can't remember, would there be many Sodkan communities in Aleyska anyway? Are we talking "larger settlements have a street or two where the Sodkan community live and have a Sodkan restaurant and stuff" or "there are decent sized settlements/villages of Sodkans who've moved up to Aleyksa at some point" by way of scale?

Considering it was written round 2-3am whilst I was at work, most certainly a typo.

Somewhere between the two.

The Holy Sodkan Empire had some involvement in Alyeska in the years prior to the Great Darmonican War, plus it was a very attractive destination for outcasts from the Empire and later the Iron Collective. Theres also the Sodkan Imperial Remnants who've established themselves in Alyeska; http://www.utherwaldpress.com/2018/02/sodkan-imperial-remnants.html

I am in the process of setting up a wiki to collate all the info.

Utherwald Press / Rogue's Gallery: The Tundra Wolves

« on: July 16, 2018, 08:42:04 AM »

There are many sky pirate outfits in Alyeska, ranging from little more than bandits with a couple of planes through to successful gangs with their own airships. A group known as the Banshees have already been covered and have even made an appearance in the Frozen Skies campaign that I'm currently running. Another gang that has featured in the campaign and have only been mentioned previously; The Tundra Wolves

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Session 4: Unexpected Allies And Likely Foes

« on: July 09, 2018, 05:13:08 PM »

Go Forth With Session Four!

A full house again as Tag's player joined us after having to miss the last session, thus enabling much advancement and development of plot. These past couple of sessions have proven that great flexibility as a GM is required as what I had planned to happen and what ended up happening because of circumstance were two different things. Though managed to get things pretty close to being back on track in this last session, so feeling a little bit of a sense of achievement with that.

Utherwald Press / CHALLENGE ACCEPTED!

« on: July 02, 2018, 09:50:15 AM »

Recently Utherwald Press reached over a 100 likes on Facebook.

To celebrate this achievement I offered to either an adventure, location, item or NPC based upon a one or two word prompt. I was expecting some interesting responses and I wasn't disappointed, though they were surprising all the same. So...

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Session Three: Beneath The Spires

« on: June 25, 2018, 10:50:17 PM »

Session the Third in the ongoing Frozen Skies campaign, one of the players wasn't able to make and I didn't want to run what I had planned without them. So put a few options to the rest of the group and it was decided to do a side adventure instead...well ended up being more of a mis-adventure.

Don't suppose I've ever seen so many failed rolls in a single game session.

Utherwald Press / Rogue's Gallery: Marauders

« on: June 18, 2018, 09:42:03 PM »

Alyeska is home to many outlaws; the most infamous of these are the sky pirates that have been romanticised by the newsheets. Bandits aren't unheard, though they are not seen as exciting and tend to receive considerably less attention in the press. Then there are the motorcycle raider gangs known as 'Marauders'.

HOT OFF THE PRESS! Frozen Skies will go on sale this coming Wednesday!!

Utherwald Press / Frozen Skies Session Two: Flying Murder Hobos

« on: June 11, 2018, 03:44:32 PM »

Continuing on from the last session, our intrepid band of layabouts find themselves lurching from one spot of trouble to another. Along the way they make contact with Alyeska's criminal underworld, get blacklisted from drinking establishments, add a town to their 'never visit again' list and end up in the sky pirate haven of Broken Spires.

Oh, and a possible date with the law in the immediate future.
