Re: [AotV] Theme, Lore, and Thormun's Journal
I like the plot. It even follows the idea someone had of the Crypoliths pointing to a crypt. Maybe the scenarios could be about a race to an evil crypt?
Utgar and Valkrill’s forces are racing to the crypt, with the Alliance trying desperately to stop them from awakening whatever evil lies inside. And Vydar is closely watching, with the goal of using whatever the outcome is to gain a larger foothold in Valhalla. My customs.

Re: [AotV] Theme, Lore, and Thormun's Journal
How about this:
The expedition to the Sea of Sand, though it diverted from the war effort, had paid off nicely in the form of some forgotten artifacts from an unknown time. The strange twisted towers had proto Kryie writing etched along its surfaces which spoke of an rare astronomical alignment with the planet which with some further inquiry with the general pointed to a time in the near future. But what would happen? Strange coincidence in finding this now. And the strange happenings and effects of these warped structures: Memory loss,distortion, loss of time, changes in mental and physical abilities, warped or nullified powers and even claims of teleportation between these structures in the wastes. The time has come for the alignment event, and we are not alone as others have found us and the towers, and are waiting for what is to come... -<Faction Researcher - Journal#375> When the alignment was due, the towers opened rips in reality and from them came the new comers... Few looked like the humans from Earth and the known places but the rest.... from realms or dimensions that even the Kyrie could not fathom. All with strange new abilities and no fixed allegiance... yet.. Some battled with each other upon arrival as if instinct demanded as such, as the fearsome hulking dark mauve creature. Upon its arrrival it crushed squads of Zettian Guards like paper and tossed them like game pieces upon a child's gameboard. Another .. A winged demonic entity radiating terror and despair ....Simply cracked a leathery faced smile at the spectacle of mayhem and rifts and departed to places unknown. The rifts and the alignment has passed but the rifts still open and close with no rhyme nor reason... releasing unknown boons and unknown terrors. One thing was certain, what was discovered in the Sea of Sand would shift the balance of power, for who.... it would be hard to say. -<Faction Researcher- Journal#378> Last edited by Fakeraistlin; September 25th, 2019 at 10:51 PM. |

Re: [AotV] Theme, Lore, and Thormun's Journal
Copying this over from the recent scenario discussion for further consideration on the underlying story of AotV:
Quote:
In terms of where we fit in the timeline of HeroScape's story, I'd prefer for us to set AotV after Vydar's betrayal. This sets an interesting backdrop with the alliance of generals threatening to break apart, Utgar and Valkrill battling each other for domination, and Vydar acting as a shadowy force with his own agenda.

Re: [AotV] Theme, Lore, and Thormun's Journal
I'm not entirely sure where Vydar's Betrayal sits in the timeline honestly, I'm fuzzy on the story. But this sounds good, it's what I had imagined as well.
I think a good way to balance scenario and standalone is to tie AotP only pieces to a scenario that's carried over 1-3 maps. With plenty of evil aligned figures in the set, you could have the first map solely being some pillars and some of the random evil units. Second map could be the heroes arriving at the centre of the rituals/summonings, with the Liliana figure and Velkhor causing it all, maybe alongside the zombies or a set of shrimp. Final map is the heroes stepping into the portal as it's too late, and dealing with Ozuul and some shrimp. We could change it a bit from previous scenarios by having all the good aligned pieces available in a small pool, but could also do something like BftU with set figures. There could even be just one scenario that uses two maps, with the two dimensions in play at the same time, and using a couple of the glyphs permanently face down acting as portals to each map. |

We could do some story-related scenario limits like "Player 1 can only draft figures from Jandar, Ullar, Einar, and Aquilla" or something along those lines. I like this idea a lot. Some kind of split board could make for a very memorable scenario, and the cardboard mats' breadth make a good opportunity for it. Proud Member of Platyfly!
