Dark Tower Days....

I've begun running demos of WEGS at a local gaming store called Dark Tower. They've got my WEGS 101 books on the shelf now, too! Sweet. Tonight's game/demo had three players:

Elf Ranger
Elf Ranger
Gnobbit Trickster

I tried to persuade them to have at least one Warrior, but didn't push it. They fought the following minions:

Hobgoblin Warrior / 66
Hobgob Warrior / 44
Hobgob Ranger / 44
Hobgob Ranger / 55

After 6 innings, I introduced a Hobgoblin Hero / 88 with extra wounds.

A simple demo that ended happily for the players. They managed to whack all three Warriors, and I had the two Hobgob Rangers run off for the hills. The game was quickly played and spoints were used freely. Two players burned some Phew! for Spoints - which is always a good sign! All three players picked up the game amazingly quick - and, as all three were Warhammer mini guys, they brought a strong strategy sense to the game.

The Trickster used the skill Dodger a lot during the game. At times this gave him 90% Invulnerabilty from my 88 attacks. This seemed a little too powerful, but it is a Reaction skill which causes a Skill Free Inning. This is critical to remember to keep the balance of the game.

Skill Free Innings matter, man!
