The Urdaggar Lioness is new release at GenCon. New model for the Urdaggar faction in DGS Games Freeblades game. Fast and lethal, watch out for her in ambush.DGS has been focusing lately on expanding scenarios, to give our players more challenges to face. A direct result of that effort is DGS will have a scenario pack as a free download on their website. While some of these are still in “draft form” (2 of them, Camp Raid and Advanced Guard) have been finalized. Another one of the scenarios in the pack, Trials of Garavus, will go final very soon.
In Trials, your Freebands are tasked with completing trials of Strength, Courage, and Wisdom before your opponent can. To support this scenario, we have a release of our Trial Stones. These will eventually be on sale on our website for $11.99 MSRP. While tailored to our scenario, they can easily be used as objectives or small terrain pieces for just about any game. To give you an idea of size, those are 50mm bases.
About two years ago I had the opportunity to sit down with Tom Meier at Origins Game Fair. In that interview I had my first chance to take a look at the game Freeblades. You can learn just about everything you need to know about the company and the game in this video. The most important and appealing information for me is the fact that their system has the same rules base from role playing to skirmish to a large scale squad based game.
In this video John demonstrates the Game Mechanics used in Freeblades. He specifically touches on casting a spell, ranged combat, and close combat. Freeblades is a fantasy based skirmish game that uses a variety of dice in its system. The models use dice based on their “caste”. For example a minion/henchman uses a d4 while heroes use a d12. I am pretty much sold on the system.
The Freeblades miniature line is not one that is intimidating either. It has a lot of appeal to the experienced and the inexperienced painter.

What a lot of people didn’t know is that they have been play testing rules for their Freeblades miniature line. Join us while Tom talks a liittle bit about that process. By the way the rules are now available from dgsgames.com
I look forward to seeing many good things from this company. We have one more video coming from the DGS crew, it is about Freeblades game play
booth at Gen Con. He shared the new releases with me Knight of Vassalar, the War Spider. The future, Rpg game, and large battles.
