Northstar Miniatures: Hey you, Amazon buyer!! Don't buy your Frostgrave rulebook from them. If you buy it from North Star, you'll get a pile of goodies to go with it. If you still want to order from them 'cus it's £2 cheaper, well maybe we don't want your custom, we'll keep the pressies for our real friends.
Every book will come with 6 official Treasure Tokens. A player needs 3 to play the game. They will be sculpted pieces of treasure cast in resin. More importantly, the book will be in each Nickstarter commitment level/ pledge. So you won't be able to buy into the Nickstarter and it's advantages without getting a book.
In this fantasy skirmish wargame, wizards battle amidst the frozen ruins of an ancient city, in the hopes of discovering the treasures of a fallen empire. Players take on the roles of wizards from one of ten schools of magic, and build their bands of followers. While the wizard's apprentice will usually accompany his master, more than a dozen other henchmen types are available for hire, from lowly thugs to heavily armoured knights and stealthy assassins.
Wizards can build their magical knowledge by unlocking ancient secrets, with the potential to learn up to 80 different spells. As players gain power and wealth, they can develop their headquarters on the outskirts of the city, turning basic locations into bastions of their art and equipping them with alchemical laboratories, mystical forges, astronomical telescopes and other magical resources. While individual games of Frostgrave are quick and can easily be played in an hour or two, it is by connecting these games into an ongoing campaign that players will find the most enjoyment. The scenarios given in the book are merely the beginning of the limitless, thrilling adventures that can be found amidst the ruins of the lost city.
