Got the first part of our Dungeon of Doom Kickstarter haul in a few weeks ago, which for us means Encounters 1-6 (the Shrine and some other stuff is coming later). It’s all “dungeon” themed, so a good chunk are walls and floors (which we have plenty of), plus some neat additions and accessories. Let’s start […]
We’re still waiting for a tracking number for our Dwarven Forge swag (got a pre-shipping notice a week or so ago but nothing since then), so that plus forgetting that we’d even backed the Tablescapes Dungeon Kickstarter made for a pretty nice surprise when it showed up a few days ago. (UPDATE: Nevermind the first portion of […]
We finally got our Dwarven Forge castle set plus some other bits and stretch goal stuff last week. It’s pretty easy to paint so we got the entire castle part done in a day (we’re gradually working on the ladders, barrels, statues, etc). Since you can’t buy castle sets yet (and I have no idea […]
Building on my cavern set post, this time we have the water cavern set. It’s $40 unpainted, $60 painted, and contains the following tiles and pieces: 4 open water tiles (just flat 2 x 2 squares) 12 straight banks (mostly flat square with a bank along one side) 6 concave banks (bank curves around two […]
Tried out Welcome to Wulfsburg, the first quest from the Wulfsburg expansion. We thought it was going to be easy since it was the first quest, and all of the objectives are fairly close together (and two also give you vault items), but damn shit hit the fan really fast: we almost always had at least […]
Some pics from our playthrough of The Shepherds quest from the core Zombicide: Black Plague box. Before we had a problem of getting multiple special abomination draws in a row, even after lots of shuffling and across multiple games (which actually made things easy when we were in Blue, since it meant nothing spawned, less so […]
We broke out our Dwarven Forge city builder sets to recreate as best we could the map from the first Zombicide: Black Plague quest. It wasn’t perfect, but still worked out well enough. Only thing that was a bit annoying were street zones since there really wasn’t anything to highlight the borders. We have some ideas […]
Previous Dwarven Forge posts have covered dungeons and caverns (though I still need to talk about the water cavern sets). This time I’m going to talk about the city part of the city builder sets: even so, there’s still a bunch of sets to choose from. Before I get into those, lets go over the […]
In my previous post on Dwarven Forge tiles, I talked about their vanilla dungeon sets. This time I’m gonna talk about their cavern sets, which unfortunately require more investment because: A basic set of cavern tiles runs $80 for pre-painted, and $60 for “dungeon grey” (and there isn’t a slightly discounted three-pack). You don’t get as […]
Some seven or so years ago I bought a variety of Dwarven Forge sets. Despite the fact that all told they ran me about $750, they barely saw any use up until last year, when I started playtesting Dungeons & Delvers with our kids. Unsurprisingly our kids loved playing with them (it’s very rare that they’re all put away […]
