lrn2play: Forbidden Psalm - Endless Horrors from Between the Stars

Image
after finding Forbidden Psalm i saw on Wargames Vault other supplements that falls under the Forbidden Psalm title that is in relation with the role-playing game, MÖRK BORG. the one that caught my attention the most was one called Endless Horrors from Between the Stars. pretty much uses the same game mechanic and rules as Forbidden Psalm just with a few new mechanics like rituals and summoning horrors. the premise with this title is instead of trying to save the world from ending, you have a cult that is trying to usher in the end of the world. which i thought was funny and awesome. you get to play as real villains and bring forth the apocalypse basically. through infamy and rituals you are able to summon an avatar of what your cult worships. after reading the basic rules and such i almost immediately create a cult and what was created i almost had to sit back and laugh. rolling d100, the desire of my endless horror is to sit on a throne of skulls, and when my avatar downs a model,...

the Mad Wizard's Tea: Forbidden Psalm

Image
after reading some more of the rules, trying out the rules, and playing my first game, i think i was ready to begin a campaign for Forbidden Psalm. in this game the world is coming to an end. and there is a wizard named Vriprix, that might have the answer on saving the world, which is called the Forbidden Psalm. so he hires anyone who dares to take up the challenge and get some coin for their troubles. episode one: the Mad Wizard's Tea Vriprix does indeed have work for the warband. Not far from his castle they will find the ruins of an old house. Once vast, it spoke of its owners wealth and prestige, but they are long dead. Vriprix informs the group that this task is quite straightforward. He wishes for them to get him some fungus from these ruins. The mold only grows on corpses. the warband gets the sense they are not the first he has sent on this task, and maybe, if they are not careful they won’t be the last. the warband needs to find as many black fungus as possible. several co...

making the best of it

after i thought i completed this year's Season of Scenery challenge, i went on to paint several miniatures for D&D but learned that the challenge ran through September. i was gonna order some more pieces for my wild west set-up but real life had to get in the way. work schedule once again and then a sick girlfriend, i basically put everything on hold. then we were able to get back together to resume our D&D campaign and i only noticed well it's damn near the end of the month. and in between everything else, whatever time i had i tried to get something accomplished and it also didn't help that i was getting interested in a new table-top game, Forbidden Psalm. this past week when we got together to play Dungeons and Dragons, i gave Rita full control of creating a manor for the group of adventurers to explore. she was surprised i did this but i was just too tired from work and had four hours to prep the game room. this was pretty much the entry point of introducing a g...

lrn2play: Forbidden Psalm

Image
for some time now i came across Forbidden Psalm from videos on Youtube and also reading about the role-playing game, MÖRK BORG. and i didn't think much of it but as time went on i kept becoming more curious about it. i began watching actual game-play videos to get a grasp on the table-top game. i think what attracts me to Forbidden Psalm is that it can be a fantasy game and i can get more out of my Dungeons and Dragons miniatures. i bought and downloaded a pdf copy of the rules and gave it a read and sat down and created a warband. i can say i would give it an A+ for putting together a creative rulebook but it is not printer friendly, so i might get a physical copy somewhere down the road. one thing that i find funny is that for the most part you use a 20 sided die. there are times you use other types of dice but for everything mainly for gameplay it's a d20. another thing about this game that i find interesting is that everything (for the majority) has a difficulty roll of 12....

potpourri mix of vermin and the uglies

i've been continuing cranking out miscellaneous miniatures for Dungeons and Dragons and even particularly Perilous Tales. finding miniatures in boxes and containers i forgot i even had, if i can throw some paint on it i quickly did, just to get them done and table ready. i guess it's wishful thinking of slimming down my plastic pile-a-shame. first off i found a small box of plastic creatures from Mantic Games i bought over a year ago and only painted certain creatures from it, so i took the little swarms of snakes and did them a quick green and some shade. and along with those i also found the last of my small toy snakes i remember from a plastic toy set from Wal-Mart. i painted two of these snakes before but this time around i did them in the same green to make it look like a happy snake family. for some time now i had the Mansion of Madness second edition board game from Fantasy Flight Games, just collecting dust and Rita and i haven't played it for some time now. so i to...
