Frostgrave - How To Play

[@correpepor]

I haven't played Frostgrave in a while. It's a really cool game. This video is a short and very well explained reminder of the rules. Thank you!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome - glad you liked this!

[@nerdfatha]

Since osprey was awesome and gave the PDF away for free yesterday, I am finally getting around to learning this. Thanks for your great videos, Rodney!

[@onkelgroen]

I finally got it as well. Now I kind of wish I had played Empire in my whfb days, rather than Vampire Counts... 😉

[@WatchItPlayed]

I thought it was great that they released the PDFs - have a great time playing!

[@nerdfatha]

@@WatchItPlayed I hope to!

[@bitzbox]

Thanks for the video. This is a game I've been wanting to try and always find these videos are great for learning new games!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome, I hope it's helpful!

[@PpAirO5]

😄 Noticed that one soldier where named "Bogen" which means "The book" in my language.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I wonder if that's intentional!

[@Arachnomen]

Sweet series, I am looking forward to see it continue with more Frostgrave!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you're enjoying!

[@ProdigiousReturn]

Love that your starting to cover some more mini games and not just the big company ones. This and song of blades and heroes are awesome. Maybe you could consider doing a coop or solo game next ;) such as rangers of shadow deep? Something to think about haha

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad you enjoyed this Jay!

[@TruSuCiO23]

Yes was waiting patiently for this all weekend!

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you find it helpful!

[@laniston]

Awesome that you did this video series. One of my absolute favourite games.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So nice to hear!

[@Vexwolf]

I love the way you explain games! Thank you for all of your hard work! Could you do Agricola next?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you so much for the kind words! I don't generally announce my videos until I'm at a scripting stage, so I can't say for sure if Agricola is on the list!

[@WarbossFraka]

Its rather simple and looks like great fun. I look forward to playing later today.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hope you have a great time with it!

[@burkle4508]

Thanks a lot for this video! I have been looking into playing Frostgrave and I found this video very informative. Also, that is a pretty awesome terrain set up.

[@WatchItPlayed]

So glad you enjoyed!

[@matthinton19]

Looking forward to getting this game nice to see how it plays before making the purchase

[@WatchItPlayed]

Hey, thanks for checking it out! Have a great time playing when you do get it :)

[@omarzgdz]

Great thanks for the video! I'm about to have my first game of Frostgrave tomorrow, so the video arrived at perfect time to revise the rules before having a game. Hopefully my Witch will do well and won't die to easily on his first adventure :)

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you had fun when you played!

[@lakelordpublishing2985]

What a great how to video. Great work. This system looks wonderful

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking it out!

[@CesarIsaacPerez]

Man, you even answered questions I didn't have in this video.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Glad it helped Cesar :)

[@timothymclean]

Random advice: Laser pointers make line of sight easy to determine. Put the business end by the sighting figure's head, point it at the targeted figure, and see if you can get a dot on the target. This may or may not be required, depending on the terrain arrangement you use, but it's quick and pretty unambiguous.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yep, that's a great tip!

[@VikingFyre]

Awesome! This will help teach my friends how to play

[@WatchItPlayed]

I hope you all have a great time playing!

[@pitanguirj]

You make everything look easy!

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'm glad you think so! Thanks for checking out the video!

[@zackzack5313]

Good show THANKS!

[@WatchItPlayed]

You're very welcome!

[@rampantrambling]

Thanks

[@grayalun]

Is there army books for each faction like in warhammer? And the rulebooks? So u guess. I'm asking what stuff as a beginner would you need to play starting out.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Most of it is found in the core book. There is actually a new edition of this (although this video will still give you a good idea of the core mechanics). I'd recommend that a new player start with the core rule book, and then from there, you'll be able to determine what kind of warband you want to build (and then you can acquire the necessary minis)

[@grayalun]

@@WatchItPlayed Cool thanks for the info, they do some starter packs with minis so wasn't sure what the best option was but will get the book and go from there. It looks a bit like mordheim with treasure replacing warpstone and a frosty environment, love the look of the model range.

[@dlear85]

@@grayalun i got the rulebook and some officail wizards and soldiers but there are videos of people using lego. Even cardboard cutouts. So really you just need rules dice and imagination 😁

[@grayalun]

@@dlear85 Sounds awesome 👌

[@Wolfphototech]

*Me : wanders into find out about what is FrostGrave .* *Me : Okay it is something between D&D/PF and Warhammer AOS/40k .*

[@WatchItPlayed]

Yes, it shares some similarities with other minis game, and brings it's own twists as well. Thanks for checking out the video

[@TakedaYuuki-8SFL]

Apologies for asking, but is there going to be a mini watch it played campaign?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for the interest Jonathan. We'll see.

[@TakedaYuuki-8SFL]

Watch It Played Can't wait to see it, if it comes. 😄

[@ProdigiousReturn]

Yes, please do!

[@IvanSensei88]

Me as I watch this: hmm this reminds me of Arcadia quest a bit, except this is a bit more complex... ok not a "bit" more complex, it IS more complex... ok much more complex than I initially thought.... ok A LOT more complex than I initially thought.... ok it's actually nothing like arcadia quest... hmm starting to doubt my analogy skills here, those two really are nothing alike xD

[@WatchItPlayed]

Ha! Your first instincts might not have been quite accurate, but I appreciate the effort :)

[@n30b14d3]

If a wizard has a fight +2 and adds a dagger so it gets +3/+2, do you use the +3 or +2 when defending against ranged attacks?

[@WatchItPlayed]

The dagger, if I'm remembering correctly, doesn't change the fight stat, but give the character a -1 Damage modifier. Page 25 in my rule book. Perhaps I'm missing something though?

[@n30b14d3]

@@WatchItPlayed OH sorry, my point was If a wizard has two weapons, lika a sword and a dagger

[@boardgamegeek]

@@n30b14d3 In that case, yes, my understanding is that their Fight stat of +3 is used.

[@n30b14d3]

Thanks to both of you!

[@guocaipan5838]

That's a lot of terrain pieces!

[@WatchItPlayed]

It is :)

[@vanorden5366]

Link to the Quick Reference sheet isn't public. You get an Access Denied Message.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Huh, they must have made a change to the document.

[@JackieFox1976]

I am still waiting for your helpful hints on Gloomhaven. Can we expect it anytime soon now that the 3rd edition is almost here?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I avoid pre-announcing games I might cover, as my schedule can change and I don't like to disappoint (I've made that mistake in the past).

[@JackieFox1976]

Well, consider this my pretty please. I get my copy on Tuesday (allegedly). And I'm quite excited!

[@samramtv]

Is there something like this for RANGERS OF SHADOWDEEP? i havent found anything helpful

[@WatchItPlayed]

I haven't done one.

[@lawrencestanley8989]

With the reprints of Battletech coming out, have you made a "Watch it Played" for Battletech? Or do you plan on making one? The game is REALLY making a comeback since the PC game came out.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I don't generally announce the games I'm covering until soon before the video is released. This is largely to avoid disappointment if plans need to change last minute! Thank you for the interest though!

[@lawrencestanley8989]

No, problem, I was just curious. Great videos by the way!

[@joolsthomas2904]

How much has changed with the new 2nd edition?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I haven't played the second edition, so I'm not sure.

[@acheron1872]

Are 24mm bases usable in the game?

[@WatchItPlayed]

I imagine as long as you're consistent across all your models, it would be okay?

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Is there any place to get the style terrain your using in these videos in the U.S.? although the terrain is amazing it isn't cheap

[@grantkrick6005]

Stephen Poulin I second this

[@WatchItPlayed]

This specific terrain I've only seen at Gamemat.eu

[@Scubasgamecorner]

Thank you so much for the input , I think I am actually going to do this. And I already have some cool Ideas to try out.

[@nkandas]

Quick reference sheet? Also, great video.

[@stephenjohnston1582]

Really stupid question - can i check this is the second edition:-)

[@WatchItPlayed]

This isn't - this was shot before that existed :)

[@nyverdaletabletop1674]

Are you willing to make one for second edition ?​@@WatchItPlayed

[@ikkuh87]

I always love your videos, could you do gloomhaven? I couldnt find it on your channel.

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thanks for checking out the video! I don't generally announce the games I plan to feature on the channel ahead of time, but I appreciate the interest!

[@emilyporte3800]

Thank for the video which giving the full information on how to play :) the set is kinda amazing , i like how you need to calculate everything and think before acting . i also read comments and i see that people like this game whch gives me impression that this game is good and need a try out :) Where did you get the set?

[@WatchItPlayed]

Thank you for the kind words Emily! I'm not 100% sure whether you mean the set I'm filming on, the terrain, or the game set... So I'll answer all 3! Osprey Games provided the minis and books, the background is a custom set built into my basement, and the playmat and terrain are both from gamemats.eu.

[@jamesc.2054]

North Star needs better distribution in Canada and the U.S.A.

[@WatchItPlayed]

I wonder if it's gotten any better.

[@VikingFyre]

Would you have any issues if I used your videos on Frostgrave for a workshop I want to hold at my local game store? The way you have this set up is perfect to use like a lesson plan

[@WatchItPlayed]

I'd be happy for you to share it! All the best with your workshop.

[@DebbieBuckland]

so this is a two player game with no game master?

[@WatchItPlayed]

That's right. Each player brings their own pre-made army, and you battle each other based around a scenario.

[@DebbieBuckland]
