Frostgrave Portal

Iron Seer Presents Frostgrave
Feel the frost of the grave!
It's been a minute since we started this site and some of the articles in the Wargames Portal are starting to get long and hairy.  Rather than remove those links, this post will serve as our link portal directly to all our Frostgrave goodness.  

We'll do this for each game that gets enough coverage, and as we move each section into it's own portal we're going to add some additional information to each entry to make it easier to find exactly what you're looking for.

Rolemaster: The Adventure of Krat Merkin

We now join our regularly scheduled Rolemaster on Fantasy Grounds, already in progress:

So, I died last session.

That's ok, because I got to make a new character earlier in the week.  This character had much more magic available, so I felt good going into it.  Let me introduce you to Krat Merkin.

Krat is a High Man.  All the time.  He's also a professional magician.

Our erstwhile party, forthwith.

He's not very good, though.  

At some point, Poor Krat (tm) became ensorcelled by some fell witchery and lost his senses.  During this time, he was apparently slave to the will of some wretched sorcerer who probably had Krat use his meager spell repertoire to boil water and/or act as a fan while he sleeps.

I (Krat, now in 1st person) was brought to my senses after being bludgeoned in the head to near death.  A dwarf stood in front of me, brandishing a blackjack.  Immediately I invoked lightning to destroy this wretched upstart, then realized that I can't do that.

I stood with several other villagers, who were in the process of standing off with a party of armed warriors, not just including my personal attacker (Blackjack the dwarf) but also a troll.  With no idea of who ANY of these people were nor what was happening, I decided to use my OTHER useful spell and RUN.

The dwarf called after me, something about coming back so he could beat me up.  I lurked around the edge of town before I saw the troll kill some guy on a horse who was trying to get away.  Once I realized I was in Nerit, I decided to RUN all the way back to where we started in Thelum.


Good news, though.  Level up!  Surprise!  Bet you didn't see that coming.

Now I have ACTUAL spells, even though for some reason I've decided not to show those here.  Maybe next time we'll see what kind of shenanigans will occur as I highlight those.  I focused on Body Development, which more than doubled the amount of damage I am able to take from a meager 9 to a whopping (for me) 20!

Foreboding Skeletons


So, in the bin there have been some painted items that I'm not entirely sure where they came from.  Miss Anthropy painted them, but I only recognize a few pieces from Mordheim.  Depicted above are these foreboding skeletons and the lamps they like to hang out under.  I decided to get these finished and ready for any sort of game involving the undead, since they were mostly finished.


The lamps are from Mordheim, or the Free Company box set from Games Workshop.  It looks like they were stuck on a base to act as lamp-posts for some little village in the Old World.  However, I'm not sure at all where this polite and informative lady came from.


Yep, I have no clear idea where any of this came from.  I would really like some help in identifying these pieces, especially these metal ones.  The lady is very creepy, and I stuck it on a base with a vulture (also metal) to create a sort of objective for ... something. 

Even though I don't really know exactly what these models are or where they came from, they are still cool painted up.   I have lots of models that I have little idea where they came from, and though I try to ID them all sometimes they slip through the dragnet.  If anyone out there recognizes any of these pieces, leave me a comment and let me know what they are so I can properly catalog them!
