Fantastic Heroes and Witchery RPG
Fantastic Heroes & Witchery
The authors write:
Fantastic Heroes & Witchery is a 430 pages rulebook, with all the information necessary to run a game of fantasy role-playing. Monsters and magical items are not provided (though they will come in later supplements), but you can use those from other editions of the game, so your books don’t become useless.
The rules are similar to those found in “the original game” and its simulacrums, but draw on several editions to create its own style. Fantastic Heroes & Witchery was done with the following goals in mind: ability to use most earlier material (monsters, magical items, modules, GM books, etc.) without conversion; simple and streamlined rules mostly based on the original game’s mechanics; but also new and different character classes, and many new spells. Overall, Fantastic Heroes & Witchery remains the same ancient game, but with slightly modernized rules plus a few options and additions.
Photographs of American Revolution Veterans
Amazingly, we have a few photographs of veterans of the American War of Independence, taken in the 1860s.
Photos of Veterans of the Napoleonic Wars
In 1858, a group of surviving soldiers of Napoleon’s Grand Armee were photographed wearing their original uniforms. You can see the photos at the link.
World At War Convention, Ft. Meigs, Ohio, November 2014
Here are a few photos from my trip to the Worlds At War miniature waraming convention at Fort Meigs in Perrysburg, Ohio.
The convention was aided at getting the younger set involved, so there were quite a few kid-friendly games. Among the events: All Quiet On The Martian Front, Western Gunfight, Gangsters, an amazing Post-Apocalypse Max-Max style game, Flames of War, Saurian Safari, War of 1812 Fraser’s Farm, a War of 1912 54mm skirmish, Star Trek, a 28mm Civil War game, and a Lego Zombie Apocalypse game.
