My Rangers of Shadow Deep Project by thedace
The beginning
Why did I want to get into Rangers of Shadow Deep?
I go to my local games shop most Thursday nights. Sometimes we will play a boardgame or two, sometimes an RPG and sometimes a miniatures game.
There were quite often 3 of us in our group. This is fine for most boardgames and RPG’s but a lot of miniatures games just don’t play right with more than 2 players.
I know you can technical play with more than 2 players in a lot of systems but you always get the feeling that’s not the way it was designed.
I accept that there are exceptions.
So I wanted a game that was designed to play just as well with 3 players as it would with one.
I asked the collective –

Many helpful suggestions here for which I am very grateful.
I decided to go with RoSD as I am a fan of Frostgrave https://www.beastsofwar.com/game/frostgrave/ and it is created by the same chap.
Publishers description of the game –
Rangers of Shadow Deep is a solo and co-operative tabletop miniatures game, in which players create their ranger, gather companions, and play through a series of missions in their fight to hold back the darkness. If their rangers survive, they will grow in power and ability, and be sent on more difficult, dangerous and intricate assignments.
At the time RoSD was either available as a PDF that could be printed for you or on Kindle. I have Kindle installed and the price was right so I opted for that option.
I had a quick read through the rules and suggested a game to my friends.
To be continued…
It’s a great game!
