Furnace is fun
Only got to play one HOTT game yesterday, and watched some visitors playing Brian with help from Richard. I used my Lunar Undead Legion, and learnt that magicians do in fact take the -2 for bad going even when bespelling. And that one magician quick-kills another. Game ended on round 2 with my magician general vanishing. I wrote the battle report as him changing sides, but a frog marker could be handy.
The game I watched was my undead again v my Ducks - rather flattering that with all those gorgeous armies there, they chose to use mine! A long battle, many Hordes lost and regained, blades v blades shoving match, shooters working round the flanks, good fun.
Richard has a scenario for each army combination - last one I watched was Lunars trying to stop the Dragonnewts Dream, around a breach in the Pavis walls. Apparently he has one for my Vingans that classes Kallyr as a Paladin general. Paladin? He explains this as the period at the end of the Rebellion where she's holding her troops together with magic (and has good PR). I'll be interested to see it.
In the afternoon, I was playing in Newt's HQ scenario, "Fortress of Doors". I got to play a Yinkini for the first time (and Comma was brought up from the car to play her alynx). A fun scenario, the players made it more so. Martin Smart as a young Orlanth Adventurous type was good - lots of crazy plans! Loz as a seriously man-hating Vingan was good. Odd concidence time: in two PBeMs I play in and the one I run, we're facing vampires. What was this one about? Yep. It's undead, it drinks blood.... and at one point, boring with facing the thing's triple-mastery combat skill, my Yinkini said "bet he hasn't got a triple-mastery defence for this!" and fired up her Seduce feat. He hadn't. But he got distracted by the other PCs hitting him :(
Out for an Indian last night with Dave. Back to HOTT today.
Picked up the RQ 2nd age book, though won't see it till Xmas. And saw Mythic Russia - someone expressed surprise that I didn't have it, as my name's in it. It is? Oh yeah, I helped playtest, ages ago.
