Finished the campaign for the Warhammer Quest cardgame. Loved it, and the group enjoyed it a lot. It made me think of introducing Pathfinder to them, since they loved the whole "improve your heroes through a campaign" approach (they are all former pen-and-paper RPGers).

Since Tamas is our resident Pathfinder CG expert... what's your opinion on the "Wrath of the Righteous" set that came out last year? I've only played the Runelords set.

I am yet to buy the Wrath box, but I have high hopes for it.

The second box, the pirate-themed one, is a marked improvement over the Runelords set in terms of challenge and variety, as well as clearness of rules and card texts. Only thing dragging it down is the theme, as I couldn't care less for fantasy pirates.

How many players does it allow?

In theory you can assign the major powers to different players without any hassle (all have separate pools of resources and units), but there are no inidividual victory conditions.
It is a two players game that can be co-oped by whatever number of players between 2 and 6-7.

Yeah, what holds me back from buying the pirate box is that my group won't care for that theme either. I could get Runelords and play it again I guess. I suspect it might be better for people new to the game, too.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

No one said they wanted to play his game.

The ramp up to CSW Expo in Tempe is beginning. I am working on readying the XLVIII PzK games and have a good start on their being ready. What we need now are players interested in joining our crew. If you have an interest in running a Panzer Division or elements of the Red Army please contact me.

Ed prefers the Med, where he can pretend he's Monty and beat up on dago wops.

It's the only time he can wear a beret and knee-high cheerleader socks with little pom poms on them and not get his ass kicked.
