Random Thoughts

While sitting on my couch before church last Sunday, I was having some random thoughts.

Five Minute Fights
While my Five Klicks battle was enjoyable and quick (under 30 minutes including set up), I'd also like something I could do in 5-10 minutes. Thinking again about 3 x 3 Portable Wargame and if I can use something similar for skirmishes.

Icespire Stinks
I've been struggling to play the next chapter of my Icespire Peak campaign. I was pondering why that's the case.
  • In general, the adventures are pretty lackluster. Also, they don't translate well to solo play. I have to make some tweaks for them to interest me.
  • I am stuck on one adventure - the Woodland Manse. I struggle to transform it into a solo module.
  • I finally thought up a plan. I'm just going to make it a linear series of encounters - outdoors, first floor, and upper floor, or something similar.
  • I want to get this campaign over with so I need to start simplifying the adventures. Perhaps I'll just create a series of five minute fights?

  1. Following your original comments, if I had a spare 30 minutes then I would be tempted to play 3+ short (10 minute?) games as part of a longer campaign. That way there would be “consequences” depending on the outcome of each battle.
    Cheers,
