Now available! (You know you want another chance at punching Gaedren Lamm in the face.)
Ah, the owlbear skeleton would go nicely with my collection of owlbear paperminis... no, I will wait for #33.
Awesome minis (again!) by the way, Jack!
Ruyan.
Glad to see the group starting on the COCT line.
But as I mentioned, this set didn't inspire me as much as past sets. (And I loved your stuff with ROTR Jack!)
There are a LOT of repeated minis in this set, with no attempt to make them look different from one another. I don't mind six thugs with teh same pose...but can we get some color change or a weapon swap?
Anyway, that's my biggest criticism. Still a great value for your $$. But its not my favorite CJ set...
Hey, one thing. There are a few minis that don't line up perfectly. Check out the bottom four on page 7. I know that I can fix it once I've printed them out, but I wanted you to know.
Great job as always on the set.

Thanks mike, I'll get to it! If you have a review to share, I'd appreciate it!
Edit: Never mind! Thanks for the review!
Hey gigglestick, thanks for the feedback. Sorry you were disappointed in the set but I'm glad you liked some of them like the Undead Owlbear, Otyugh, and the Reefclaw.
It was still a great value for the $$$, and I'm looking forward to your take on the rest of the series.
Part of the problem with making so many great sets is that it's set such a high bar.
You still draw better than I ever could, and it is great to have more inis. (Keep 'em coming)
Seven Days to the Grave is being worked on right now!
Is there any ETA for Seven Days yet?
Hi Jack!
No; actually, I'm still preparing for GMing the whole CoCT path...

Okay, well then I'm glad you're not in desperate need of something for a session any time soon. The next set should arrive sometime after next week as Thanksgiving will throw things off.
If you ever get a chance and use minis for the sets, I'd love to see pics of the minis being used. :)
Okay, so I was talking about posting photos in the most recent set, but since these are from this set I wanted to post this here.
Photos from tonight's super fun adventure: Photos
Hope I did that right.
Sort of. I was able to use a ton of minis for the beginning of Rise of the Runelords (multiple goblins, I added some Hellknights, the Burnt Offering set you did, and a few customs), but by the time all the sets had come out, life and school got in the way and I had to stop. Similar things happened with Legacy of Fire. I wish I had thought to take pictures.
Most of the minis I've used were from other sets on games that I've just run on my own, and I use the Battle Studio minis for PC's. But honestly I just use whatever works. This is the first time that I'm running a story and the minis should be all ready to be printed and used by the time I need them, which I'm super excited about. I'm a visually person, I really like to have something to look at and use. It both makes the game more like a board game, and more realistic sort of all at once for me. Besides, I love the looks of the minis.
And I've been super happy with all the Worldworks stuff, but the Streets/Buildings/Sewers of Malifaux and just awesome. Between them and your minis, I was really pushing this adventure. I'm so happy I decided to do this one.
The game went really well and the players are super excited to get together next week, so hopefully this campaign will last. I'm in grad school working on my MAT in English Ed, so when I'm not in class at the University, I'm in a high school teaching. It makes doing anything that doesn't directly lead to graduating that much harder to do. That said, this is what I do for fun, and I kind of need rpgs in my life.

Hey thanks! Although now I feel the pressure to crank the rest out! ;-)

Wow, I'm surprised you have time for anything else, let alone gaming.
Photos from tonight's session are up.
Sorry the photo quality is bad. My Ipad makes a better computer than it does a camera.
The players have been loving the minis by the way. The Otyugh made the night oh so special. The map is from the Streets of Malifaux. What a great resource.
This one fight was really interesting. Started with six thugs attacking a young noblewoman, protected only by a drunken guardsman. The party was having issues with the thugs, and the Otyugh almost took them out. It was a lot of fun.
Next they went to the castle and meet some people of the royal persuasion. Next up: Joining the Guards!

Hey, thanks Mike, I'm just glad to have pics to look at so keep posting!
I'm glad they liked the Otyugh. :)
Another Sunday, another game. More Photos.
The characters are now all level 2. You can read more about them on our website: Link
Sadly, I forgot to bring Verik's Mini, and had to go with a different one, a mini that one of my players was using, but switched out for a new one.

Hey the pics look better this week!
Go reefclaws!EDIT: By the way, I'm shocked you were able to gather the whole group together without losing someone to the Superbowl!
We played early, 4:30-7:30 or there about. Then everyone went to watch the game.
So the adventure continued today.
Then we played the chase minigame (using the Chase Deck). Everyone really enjoyed this section. The Eel's End fight was epic and they needed something like this. They liked the story element of this (as the Magus is already acting like Trina's protector) and we loved the silliness of the Chase deck (falling off the rooftop and running into a befuddled baker or spooked horse was super fun). Note: I pulled all the cards that I felt wouldn't be on a rooftop and made anyone interested in a street race use the leftovers. The party Ranger rolled so well on his Handle Animal that he got on the horse and rode down the street (and kept the horse)
Here's the photos from today's game. The ship is a Worldworks Game paper ship. I've had it for forever, and this was definitely the best use of it I've ever had.

Great pics, it took me a sec to remember the little dragon you rescue. The middle one looks like you had a ton of minis fighting it out in that battle!
Well we finished Edge of Anarchy and next week we start up Seven Days to the Grave. Here are the photos:
I know some people disliked the railroady moments such as his rescue of Sabor, but my group didn't seem to mind. If they did they were quiet about it. Having it happen right after a long dungeon crawl really helped. They were out of spells and felt betrayed by the system, since they wanted to speak at her trial. I had been setting up Nightingale since the first game so it was a great way to really show him off. Sadly I was a little tired, so I could have done a better job of describing him. Oh well.
See you next week
Thank Mike!
Great pics, where did the cavern maps come from?
They're from Skeleton Key Games. I really like their stuff. I discovered them when I was running a Ptolus game. I like Worldwork's 3D elements, but these are still great (and fairly cheap) tiles. Also the modular aspect of them worked out really well.
Can anybody expalin to what the paper minis are I cant seem to find a discription of the anywhere. I mean paper minis in general, is this something i have to print off, cut out and base my self.

Hi seto83, thanks for your interest. You've pretty much got it and this free instruction pdf should help you get the idea of what to do. (Of course you always welcome to ask more questions too!) :)

Thank you so much that preety much clears it up for me.
This is a very useful set, I've been using it for my newly started CotCT game. I'd love to have seen an unarmored version of Field Marshal Kroft though, to be used for briefings and so on. I've found a battle-ready version in the set for Escape from Old Korvosa, but it doesn't seem fully appropriate.
Anyway, good work!

Thanks Zaister, I'm glad you like it!
Sorry about Kroft, I always assumed she'd meet people with in her formal "work" outfit. I'm trying to think if there is a proxy from one of the other sets you could use.
No matter, I just used the mini from set #3 tonight and the players didn't wonder about her attire, so everything's OK :)
