filbanto Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Get a copy of White Devil by Stephen Brumwell for more inspiration. Conquest Miniatures have some of the best miniatures for this period. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

filbanto Posted June 7, 2013 Share Posted June 7, 2013 Bother! Now I want those minis. Warlord Games for those of you across the pond. ECW figures from them as well, though I think the Conquest ones are much nicer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ghostwriter Posted June 22, 2013 Share Posted June 22, 2013 I've finally read through Depths of Winter and once again I must say it's both a great idea and great execution. I liked the optional encounters and the freedom given to the players when it comes to actual planning. I agree with the other reviewer that it can easily end in TPK, and I think that realization of the danger might help the players be more careful and resourceful. I liked the pregens a lot, too. Great job! I actually went back and put up short reviews for Depths, as well as Wolves and Isle on DTRPG. As always looking forward to new material Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorax Transtellaris Posted November 18, 2013 Share Posted November 18, 2013 Picked this up recently and really enjoy it. I think the setting is worthy of more Renaissance-based historical (fantasy) adventuring. Quote RPGbericht (Dutch) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vorax Transtellaris Posted November 19, 2013 Share Posted November 19, 2013 (edited) Thanks, Vorax. Roger is working hard on another adventure for the setting now Cool! Rogue Games have done some great material for a colonial American setting for their Colonial Gothic RPG, but so far have only produced one book for the French and Indian War. Precis Intermedia did a nice Colonial Era supplement for their Coyote Trail RPG. The guys at Sixtystone Press are currently at work on colonial setting material for Call of Cthulhu. Have you thought of chiming in and doing some kind of mini sourcebook for this setting?
