Happy Weekender everyone!
Three Ben’s, can we take that much Ben goodness? Let’s find out…….
It’s inevitable that there will be fun…inevitable I tell you!
hmmmmm, ben to the power 3 is ben cubed, d6 are cubes, therefore in this weekender everything is alignment for the fabled b6 to be brought into existance…
Now I’m on a quest to find a custom dice maker to construct the ‘Fabled’ B6 cube! Three sides will have each of the Bens smiling and three sides will have each of the Bens frowning.
Now to construct an entire game around that cube!
Lol this needs to happen possibly play with 3 dice with a lookup table, you don’t want to know what happens if you roll 3 smiling sexy Ben’s…
3 smiling big Ben’s would probably result in wikipedia imploding from a catastrophic loss of trivia
3 frowning big Ben’s is this
AAAGH!! Ended up missing first again! 😉 😛 😉
But it couldn’t be to a nicer Beast.
HAPPY WEEKEND!!!!
Got a copy of Dave Taylor’s book. An absolutely glorious book.
Love when the Ben’s are in the studio. Big Ben brings the Chaos we love. And Sexy Ben brings the love.
The Sinister secret of Saltmarsh was one of the best modules for D&D ever. Lovely seeing it adapted for 5th ed with all the rules for boats, water combat and adventures under the sea.
Yeah I think it’s a great idea to take a lot of those old adventures and bring them back to the fore. It means that there’s something familiar for old hands but a new classic to explore for others.
I suspect a few other old classics will come back. They revisited Keep on the Borderlands and Against the Slavers in 3rd and Temple of Elemental Evil in 3rd and 5th, and Tomb of Annihilation, Dungeon of the Mad Mage (Undermountain), Stuff from Against the giants in Yawning Portal etc. I really want the Keep on the Borderlands, The Slavers, Against the Giants, Isle of Dread and those real classic modules made 5th Ed playable. I also would love to see them redo the historical campaign guides again but broken up into Classical, Dark Ages, Medieval and Renaissance periods, but… Read more »
Happy Weekend with Ben Power.
Wish we could get a real update on Legend of the Fabled Realms
I believe one is on the cards.
I’ll be looking out for that then.As i missed the KS ( my wallet was committed elsewhere at the time ) and i have been patiently waiting for any retail news for Fabled Realms to appear and have been a little worried about how quiet it’s been regarding FR.
Great show this weekend. Always enjoy seeing the folks from 4ground!
It’s the Weekend!
Glad to see some new content that isn’t GW related this week guys. Love your show and will watch when I get home tonight. The new Mythic Games upcoming releases look very interesting, especially HEL. Cheers
It does sound interesting for sure – I will be interested to see if they can engage the players narratively. Solomon Kane had problems with perception so I’m keen to know more about the mechanics of Hel.
Happy weekend! Thanks for the fun show.
Sunny Saturday! Really lose and funny episode today. Thanks Ben,Ben,Gerry, Justin oh and the other one lol.
Looking forward for the Terrain book
Happy Weekender, always a part of a good Saturday morning. Can’t believe I totally missed the Armies & Legions & Hordes Kickstarter. Would definitely give it a good read given the chance.
Well worth checking out – it’s a good read and John got involved so it must be epic 😉
Yes, when I read that part penned by our very own John, I heard the words in John’s own voice!
It is a wonderful book and the sleeve that encases the book was a very nice touch as well.
Loved Saltmarsh – seems like an awful long time ago
Time to relive those years then!
Awesome weekender show again guys. Great to see Ben and Cad join you, I really dont mind some of the tangents that Ben goes off on!
Seeing them on today I did hope to hear an update on the status of The Fabled Realms. I’ve just received my goblins and its got me wanting the rest! I’m sure it’ll be soon that we get some news.
I love the look of the new Mythic game, those sculpts look absolutely amazing and what I have heard so far is really promising.
As mentioned on a previous comment there may be updates soon but we’ll see. I know the guys are working hard.
Yes, I saw after I posted, Thanks Ben. I’d rather them spend the time getting things right, I know how much the guys at 4ground care about their products.
Happy saturday peeps
Ha!! The 4Ground Roman Fort is still on the table then..yay!! So cool I’m no longer bottom of the list. I think..
Pavlov’s House would be a real corker as well tho, I have to say..??
And I got a few other suggestions for Ben and Cad I’m desperate to share. Darn..a trip across to the 4G lair seems inevitable ?
I think you need to get in there and go Roman on them chap – get them building this fort!
we were talking about what would make a great days gaming at a club or event. For example Isandlwana 10mm, Rorke’s Drift, space hulk style evacuation of the hospital and a chase/race game to get the colours free. From that we started asking what other campaigns could you pull multiple unique games from and I mentioned Pavlov’s House and Ben said google this https://www.thingsfromthebasement.com/store/p350/Pavlov%27s_House_-_Complete_Kit.html it’s been a weird week, everything Ben and I discussed appeared again shortly after o.O
Ĺove the new cathedral design, very nice.
Great, love that Forest Goblin kickstarter!
It is pretty swanky. After looking at the options some more it does come with a lot of plastic to get stuck into. Very good for someone wanting a quick warband for Warlords Of Erehwon.
Yep, definitely. I’m taking the option to swap the round bases to square and having either a smaller sub-faction WFB army with added Spider Riders and Arachnarok, or add them into my larger existing Orcs and Goblin force for XI Age / 8th edition. Though I might try them out with a modded Frostgrave ruleset as well at the other end of the spectrum.
Found myself hovering over Dave Taylor’s Kickstarter a few times during the campaign. It would make an excellent gift for my wife who I want to paint all my minis.
Morning all. Going to have to catch this one later, I’m off to a 40K APOC game today. Fielding 4000 points (about half of my collection) of my Death Korps of Krieg Army (The 8th Krieg Grenadier Assault Regiment) as one of 8 players in the game.
Been years since they took the field and at least two since I played any 40K. Purge the Xenos scum!
2nd best thing Ronnie did after Mantic 🙂
Death Korps took the day, winning on turn 4.
Make love not krieg
It’s Ben again, hurrah
I’m excited to see what Battle Systems comes up with for those buildings. Those guys produce some amazing stuff!
That book looks mightily interesting… (and would probably help me with some of the major projects I’m considering)
Armies & Legions & Hordes looks like my kind of a book. I have a ton of ideas and minis but they are all in sort of a limbo. Strated but not yet completed 🙂
Once again great show guys. Always good to here from the fellows at 4Ground.
