144Artist Explores Lyonesse or My Journeys into Wolsung
Isolation Gaming
In the world from before Isolation, Labor Day weekend was traditionally when my friends and I would meet at a huge game convention in Santa Clara, California. It is also where @necron099 and I started playing Wolsung and is our tradition to play at least one game of it over the weekend. “It isn’t a successful PacifiCon unless we play Wolsung” has become our motto. Being Gaming Grognards of firm stuff we weren’t about to let something like an international health crisis interfere with our traditions. Longtime friend and OTT member @aronbc was finally overcome by his curiosity and joined us this year.
Both necron099 and I have fairly good Steampunk mini and terrain collections so either one of us could set a table up. He is more on the ball with technology so he hosted the game and acted as referee. He just used his cell phone to stream the table to Discord and we dealt cards and rolled dice on Roll20 mostly out of habit as we use the site for our weekly RPG as well. Things worked fairly well with the only big glitch being aronbc losing his power (we are having blackouts to match the raging fires here in California right now) but he followed progress on his cell phone while necron099 played out the last turn for him.
As necron099 has a beautifully painted Pneumabooth, he chose that scenario and set up a table. So we would be trying to hold onto the “package” until the end of turn three as well as trying to kill each other. The character cards are handy, have the most up to date stats on them and fortunately MicroArts has them available for download. Another bit of their great customer service. I ran two heroes from the Inventors Club while aronbc went with the criminal Triad.
One can see the booth in the center. Our characters converged on it right away.
A wizard and a swordsman lead a ninja and a trader...
...while two engineers face them with the help of a lab assistant and a bio-cognitive golem. Gotta love a Gnome riding a giant mechanical flea.
As Alice and the Bio-Cognitive Golem are two of my favorite figures from necron099's collection I simply had to run them.
The Triad were a little ahead on Victory Points, having gotten First Kill bonuses all three turns, when Pinky, the Bio-Cognitive Golem, charged the Mage. The Mist Walker had just pried the "package" from the wreckage of my Servant Golem.
We both threw every card we had in our hands but Pinky not only took down the Mage but even had an acton left to pick up the "package" to win the scenario.
As is often the case in our games, this one ended up a real blood bath. Bodies scattered around the Pneuma Booth and restaurant.
It was a great game! And not too hard to run over D20 and zoom
