With the first true game session, we kicked off the new campaign with a scramble for control in a life and death battle against bandits. Protecting Oleg’s Trading Post from bandits, the group made their mark on the unsettled lands. The fight was rather touch and go at times (I had increased the number of bandits due to our overly large group size), but the group did end up winning the fight.
However, the most impressive feat of the game was that each and every player had their own custom painted miniature for the game. It was exciting seeing each of the figures, the designs, and the thoughts that each player had – I was more than happy with each of the figures. This goes a long way to making each character personal to the player, and reinforcing that relationship.
In the near future, I will provide a detail on each of the characters, to cover a basic introduction for each player.
