lrn2play: Perilous Tales co/op

-

this past weekend i got a chance to introduce my girl to the game Perilous Tales.
poor woman has been hearing about it for weeks now,
so i threw some terrain on the table and off we went.


layout of the table.
a nice 2x2 gaming area, one of the perks of Perilous Tales...
small gaming area.

teams were consisted of:

Husani Ba (leader, traits: Brute, Tough, and Photographer (per objective))
Garrett Cunningham, pilot of the Screaming Rooster (teammate, trait: Handy)
Hando Solomon (teammate, trait: Eagle Eyed)
 

 Rita Lynn (leader, traits: Sneaky )
Thornton Lee (teammate, trait: Marksman)
Colonial Edgar Chapman IV, British Army, Ret. (teammate, trait: Medic)
 

objectives for the game.
 
didn't take whole mess of pics this time,
but from what i did here are some highlights.


with the set-up of threat markers as they were,
we were cautious not to set off too many at the same time.
we did managed though spawning a few cultists in one turn.


Rita trying her best to sneak and not set off any threat markers.
having the Sneaky trait does pay off.

using Hando to take a peek at near by threat markers,
couldn't find the main minion, the cult leader, Jafar Alhazred.


rolling horribly on threat,
the cult leader is revealed....


...and more cultists are summoned.
the heroes found themselves in a pickle.
had to do some horror check rolls and Rita Lynn and Colonial Edgar Chapman IV failed
and fled a bit away from harm's way. 


regrouping and trying to get back to task on hand.
Husani Ba is dealing with Jafar and the duo of Cunningham and Thornton Lee
are cleaning up the remaining cultists.


the evil cult leader is down for the count!


trying to get our other objectives done before turn 10.
which because of two perils in play either we were failing skill checks or taking damage.


my last hope of getting one of our objectives completed came to an end,
when Husani Ba was dealt fatal damage from a peril effect.

overall Rita had a great time playing this.
she said she liked ow the threat markers move and gives the game a nerve wrenching
feeling while playing which i agree,
and then on top of that trying to stay alive by defending yourself and
getting objectives completed.

total score was 5/10 which i've had worst but most of all we had fun,
and that's all that matters.

    The game sounds excellent, and I've downloaded a copy of the play-test rules as a result. Thanks for covering the game.

      your welcome. I think this is probably my favorite game so far. I'm looking for more solo games to look into.

    Great game - I haven't done it co-op yet, but even without much success it sounds like it was a great time.

      co-op is fun, it gets tedious though with another person if you don't wanna die. haha

still plugging away at the mess of undead miniatures i still have. these skeletons are from the Undead Encounter pack from Mantic Games. i went with a simple color scheme, i didn't want to spend a lot of time on them. the so called leader of the group. with the simple color and shading these came out nicely. i might go back and retouch the eyes, maybe add a green glow or redness in the eye sockets. rest of the group. way these came out i might purchase another pack of these, add more to the more ranks. Beholder Zombie. this fellow was fun to paint. cannot wait to unleash this on my D&D group. (insert evil laugh here) Crawling Claws. wanted to make some low CR creatures for this weekend's game, and since the group is heading to a den of evil what better way than this. made from dismembered hands from an old GW zombie plastic set. last year i came across some board games called Dark World, and the miniatures were pretty cool to use elsewhere in my table top games. so i used t...

ever since my last game of 40k Kill Team with my buddy Jayson, i've been thinking on a second team for the game. lots of ideas were swirling in my head. and i narrowed it down to the faction i always wanted ever since i first started playing 40k back in 2nd edition. the honorable and ferocious Space Wolves. with all the new material coming out for 9th edition and what has been out already i have to say i am disappointed on how much character the new Primaris space marines lack. i mean yeah there's the upgrade packs you could get but still there isn't much to separate one group of Primaris marines from another of a different chapter except shoulder pads. so deciding on this i went with the classic look of the Space Wolves. but with that also there is only a few units and not much i can use if i do a non-Primaris Kill Team. and with these marine i also tried the Citadel Colour Contrast paints. and i have to say i like them very much. very easy...
