Grab Yourself The Frostgrave Digital Only Mini-Expansion – Sellsword
January 21, 2016 by brennon
Osprey Games have put together a mini-expansion for Frostgrave called Sellsword. This is a digital product so it can only be downloaded but it helps to slowly expand your Frostgrave adventures...
"Sellsword is a digital-only mini-expansion for Frostgrave: Fantasy Wargames in the Frozen City. This expansion gives wizards the option to hire a captain, a special type of soldier, to help lead their warbands. Unlike other soldiers in the game, captains may choose their own weapons, have a few special abilities known as 'tricks of the trade', and gain experience.
Of course, such experience and versatility comes at a price, so captains are going to want more than the retainer given to most soldiers – they want a cut of the treasure! Also included in this expansion are three new scenarios designed to give soldiers more of a chance to shine. All feature some type of limitation or obstacle to spellcasting that will force wizards to think a bit more about how much they rely on their magic."
This sounds great and it's neat to see that we could have players relying on different options for fighting. The additional scenarios with limitations on magic should also be very interesting.
I really need to play more Frostgrave!
"This expansion gives wizards the option to hire a captain, a special type of soldier, to help lead their warbands..."
tis nice and adds that little bit more variety to the game me thinks!
Great game well supported with these expansions keeping it fresh. I would of preferred a book myself.
Cool, while a real book would be better I like the idea of a captain, and that some one else can level up
IIRC, I believe the plan is to provide ongoing support for Frostgrave via these digital books (between the larger printed expansions such as the forthcoming Breeding Pits), then release a nice printed Compendium in the future for those (myself included!) who prefer to have a physical copy! 🙂
NorthStar are planning to release some captain models as well. Exciting times.
