Frederik Elwert<p>Small achievement: Managed to configure the Steam controller for <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a>, so now I can play it on the big screen. 🎮 (The tricky part was getting the controller's mouse emulation work under Wayland, but then it's great for mouse+keyboard games!) BfW is still one of the greatest games of all time, if you ask me, and it simply never gets old. 🧝♂️ <a href="https://fedihum.org/tags/Gaming" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Gaming</span></a></p>

You also got to hear Tric spout lore about Flamehearts. As for other units from the video game, this <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> combat let us see the pinnacle of saurian fighting prowess, the Flanker, as well as a return of our old friend, the Mudcrawler.</p><p>3/4</p>

For Gugdish, I again took inspiration from the expanded units in the UMC campaign A War of Life and Death, which includes the Orcish Conjurer. Some of the other orc units that inspired me were the Orcish Assassin and the Orcish Warlord. We’ll see other units from the video game as this arc continues, including Goblin Pillagers, a Wraith, and a new unit for our characters, the Nightgaunt.</p><p>2/3</p>
jendefer<p>GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:</p><p>The <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a> video game has a take on orcs and goblins that I hadn’t seen before. They’re the same species, as are half-orcs. The different designators arise from the physical capabilities of individuals. Orcs are the strongest, half-orcs are less muscular, and goblins are considered runts. This then sets their social standing. This doesn’t come up much in any of the mainline campaigns, but I used it to inform how I portrayed my <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a> NPCs.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GMing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GMing</span></a> 3/4</p>

The only original content is the area around Estbryn Forest on the edge of the Estmark Hills. I made that up so that the players could be young adventures starting from an obscure place, which would explain why they knew so little about Wesnoth itself.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/videogames" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>videogames</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/map" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>map</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/drawing" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>drawing</span></a> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/ttrpg" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>ttrpg</span></a></p>
jendefer<p>GM Note 1 for Echoes of Invasion:</p><p>There are no trains in the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a> video game, at least not any of the campaigns I’ve played. So why do these dwarves have a train? Well, while contemplating this rematch with the dwarves of Untdunben, I rolled on the Mythic GM Emulator’s event meaning tables for inspiration and got Develop and Vehicle. Mining tracks are well-established in the video game, so I decided they weren’t all for carts—some were for trains.</p><p> <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/MythicGMEmulator" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>MythicGMEmulator</span></a> </p><p>2/4</p>
FOSSGralnia<p>Hej FOSSGracze!</p><p>Tradycyjnie spóźnieni, ale jeszcze w odpowiednim miesiącu! Chociaż w grudniu z powodu świąt i napiętych tygodni nie planujemy zbyt wielu rozgrywek, to jednak mamy w zanadrzu kilka rzeczy na ten miesiąc.

W ramach kolejnych naszych rozgrywek nauczymy się grać w Battle For Wesnoth (albo Bitwę o Wesnoth, jeśli wolicie polską nazwę). Plan zakłada niewielką potyczkę drużynową (w zależności od ilości osób) oraz objaśnienie podstaw działania dwóch frakcji dobrych dla nowych graczy: Lojalistów i Buntowników. Chociaż dobrze będzie przed rozgrywką przejść samouczek, grę wyjaśnimy w trakcie, a tury będą nieograniczone czasowo.</p><p>🏂 Zimowe poświąteczne spotkanie FOSSGralni 🏂</p><p>Dzień: sobota, 28 grudnia 2024, g. 18.00-22.00<br>Organizator: Szkodnix</p><p>Koniec świąt to brak wymówek, by nie pograć!

jendefer<p>GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:</p><p>This arc, we used a number of <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a> video game units to help flesh out our story. Tric imagined Breda as an Elvish Captain. Quemilya’s magic theory discussion was influenced by the Sorceress write-up, as Tric’s training is by the one for the Elvish Lord. And some of the rapid-seeming changes in the society of our short-lived saurian allies came from the descriptions and artwork of such units as Skirmisher, Ambusher, and Soothsayer. </p><p>2/3</p>

jendefer<p>GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:<br />The players really enjoyed the festival early in our campaign, so I gave them a chance to experience another. Inspiration came from a lot of places. For one, Pupsi has Youtube videos where he carves vegetables into ocarinas and then plays pop music. Another inspiration was a renn faire with a melon catapult. The pitchfork competition was based on sand shoveling at another fair and that the <a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a> Peasant unit has a ranged pitchfork attack.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/GMTips" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>GMTips</span></a> <br />3/4</p>
jendefer<p>GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:</p><p>Most of the NPCs in the fight today are units from the Battle for Wesnoth video game that we’ve already seen in earlier encounters, like Ruffians, Shadow Mages, and Efa the Bandit. The only new one here is Tric’s merfolk friends, who are based on the Netcaster line.</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a> </p><p>2/3</p>
jendefer<p>GM Note for Echoes of Invasion:</p><p>The exploration of the space under South Tower was heavily inspired by combat maps from the Battle for Wesnoth video game. Cave terrain frequently has mushroom tiles, mining cart tracks, and old fortifications. And if you see a big stretch of water, you can be pretty sure a Tentacle of the Deep is lurking in it to attack any of your units that get too close!</p><p><a href="https://dice.camp/tags/BattleForWesnoth" class="mention hashtag" rel="tag">#<span>BattleForWesnoth</span></a> </p><p>2/3</p>
