Tactical encounters book

hcobb · 02-09-2019, 11:52 AM

Can somebody please write a book of drop in encounters?

Not just "14-hex dragon", but instead here's a mountain ridge map, here's the distance the dragon will spot the party at (with observation rolls on both sides), here's the tactics it will use (spoiler: claw swipe and fly, no breath), etc.

And do the same for a goblin (or dwarf) tunnel ambush, orc raiding party, elf forest ambush, and so on.

This is a great idea. Did you suggest to Phil or Steve as a future kickstarter or maybe we could get a couple added to the Hexagram 'zine?

That would be a sweet stretch goal for the zine! We're about to smash the next stretch goal with 4 more days left to go! Now would be a great time to propose that idea on the Kickstarter page!

While not exactly what hcobb asked for, I figured I'd throw this out in it's pre-alpha form, as I also think published stand-alone/linked encounters is a fantastic idea.

I have NOT playtested this. This was supposed to be the "boss fight" of a series of linked encounters battling against the minions of the "Foul One".

The Summoning Ritual of Murak Zorazz

I started it, then Real Life kicked me in the butt. Things have started to return to my normal level of insanity, so I'm hoping to get back to it (barring me actually getting off my duff and starting a TFT:ITL campaign).

I hope I followed SJGames' fan online policy properly. If not, I will remove the file.

Thank you so much for sharing this malchidael! I loved reading through that and it sounds amazing! Very well put together! When I get more into The Fantasy Trip, I'll definitely give this a try!

Glad to share!

Just another warning that I haven't playtested it. So if you run it, please let me know the results, and if I get a chance to playtest it in the near future, I'll post an update.
