Crossroads Of Courage Warmachine & Hordes Narrative League Arrives
August 16, 2016 by brennon
If you're not quite as competitive and 'min-max' focused as some of your other Warmahordes buddies you could always try your hand at Privateer Press' Crossroads of Courage Narrative League which enables you to tell a story as you play through your games...
If you're interested in the story behind all of this naturally the Privateer Press team have put together a great story which you can read HERE. You can also follow through on all of the Core Rules and Special Rules and get your head wrapped around how it all works.
One of the big things you'll get are these Holden Cards and Coins of Fate. As well as this each scenario that you play out might feature special individual characters that you'll be supporting or trying to stop.
"Each season there are two different participation prizes available. Holden Cards, and Coins of Fate. All participants receive their Holden Cards at the beginning of the league, as they are used throughout the league for any player wishing to play Holden in their games (and thereby shape his fate).
The Coins of Fate are given to all players who participate in the league start to finish, and each Coin has a special feature in the following season of Crossroads."
In the first Season of this Narrative League we're seeing some interesting achievements being part of the mix too which focus on your painting of particular models or completion of certain scenarios.
Interestingly the first scenario is called Snow Blind and has your band of warriors and Warjacks/Warbeasts getting stuck in a blizzard. The second has one player trying to protect Ol' Jeb while another is trying to kill him!
Let us know what you think of this as an alternative format for growing your warband.
Drop your thoughts below...

That seems like fun.
This sounds like a great concept. I hope the idea gains more widespread traction and finds its way to other game systems.
That is more my type of game. I’d be willing to give it a try.
competitive play is fun ,testing your self like a Russian chess master. but story driven campaign has so much to offer on so many levels.
In the search for sophisticated and tight rules systems over the last 10 years ,story driven campaign play was on the back burner. great to see companies taking note of the success of games like frost grave.
so dust off your lute master bard and tell us a story.
And Malifaux- definitely a very narrative game system.
Warmachine has had a few nods in that direction, but this is definitely a step farther than they’ve ever gone into narrative play. I’m hoping for a really interesting story developing from this.
This looks like a lot of fun, and if I could find a league that ran on weekends within a 250 km radius I would certainly be involved ……alas ….. sigh …. =(
Not a Warma-Hordes player, but would love to see Justin or somebody log their experience playing through this.
