Fabled Realms Beta Testers Begin Beta Testing
The players have started getting stuck into the rules of Fabled Realms, learning the mechanics and getting a few games on.
Talking Weapons With 4Ground Ben
The 4Ground guys haven't just brought their Fabled Realms minis with them, they also brought a selection of the gear you might find on the battlefields of their world!
Ben took me through a couple of the different weapons, their history, and how they would be used.
Cosy Dice Complete Their Painting!
Annie and Gareth from Cosey Dice have already finished painting their Fabled Realms warbands!
Annie is fielding the Mordanburg State Guard, while Gareth has The Sell Sword Guild, and both of them look awesome.
Warren’s Elite Warband
We stop in with Warren JUST as he is about to step into his livestreamed game with Justin in order to find out how he is changing up his elite warband for his Fabled Realms game with Justin...
...what do you think of his plans?
Talking Armour With 4Ground Ben
We have talked weapons, and now we're talking armour with Ben from 4Ground. Once again, this is a world grounded in some form of Historical reality so these are the kind of things you might get inspiration from for your own force.
Maybe the rusted look is something you could use for the Sell Swords for example?
Andy’s Painting Corner
Andy is one of the best painters out there and gets the job done on all manner of miniatures, both great and small. So, Sam sat in with him to talk about painting the massive Terror that you can get for Fabled Realms.
How would you approach this mighty beast?
First Fabled Realms Game With Kerry!
Kerry is playing his first Fabled Realms game with his partner, delving into the mechanics of the game on the awesome summer side of the table and possibly my second favourite table, the one with the Witch's Hut up in the mountains.
Have you played around with the rules and if so how are you finding your first games?
Busy Beta Testing
Now that everyone has had a game or two, they are starting to explore the rules further.
Some are getting stuck into making their own warbands, while others are finding ways to tweak and improve the Beta rules.
Time For An End Of Day Kitbash
As we wind down for day two, everyone grabs themselves some gear and get kitbashing.
One of the great things about Fabled Realms is it encourages you to see what minis you can make, letting you expand your warbands with some unique minis of your own.
I’m 4 hours ahead of you at the moment, but tuning in for updates. Have a great day and send lots of info on Fabled Realms, this one looks like a ‘keeper’
Let’s hope for less John abuse today!!!
This looks fun! Loved the game map in the video!
How long are the live blogs for each go around?
About an houish
Should be able to watch 2 of the live streams before I have to go out. Have really enjoyed the coverage so far, was glued to the PC last night waiting for the next post! Have a fabulous time today all, seething with jealousy here! 😉
Also when will Warren and Justin face off? Ben vs Cad?
Mel has done a great job on the map.
This version add life to Jared’s version.
All set up for a day watching and painting.
Today should be a blast!!!
Just tuned in the live Stream. Would love to play over this table myself
Woo hoo day 2! My wife wants me to go out in a bit, I dont think she understands 🙁
Ace campaign map, really immersive!
So looking forward to receiving my stuff from the Kickstarter for this. Wished I’d backed to be at the beta weekend now 🙁
Have fun guys, loving the videos so far
That campaign map is awesome guys, love the details on it
The feature snow table is absolutely awesome
This looks better and better every time I see it! Moving the snowy village.
By which I obviously meant ‘loving the snowy village.’ Or possibly ‘moved to tears by the snowy village.’
The terrain tutor’s (Mel’s) map is awesome!
Watching on twitch and super impressed again by what the guys have pulled off with the tables. Very much wish I was there. The game looks great and I will have to check out the beta rules.
This makes it even harder to keep my patience for this game. I want my 3rd Incursion pledge from the kickstarter now
I am very excited about Fabled Realms!
First exposire the Fabled Realms but the more I watch, the more I can see what the guys from 4Ground are on about with the change to the dice.
Kudos for that. I’ve seen enough game creators defend their babies come hell or high water and making a change like that after feedback takes an open mindset that gives me hope for the system going to the succeed.
Best of luck to you all and looking forward to the rest of the weekend!
Great first demo, really good to watch.
Good streaming!… I would like to know what new bands are coming in the future
It would be great to see a more advanced game.
The Livestream was a brilliant addition to the BootCamp thingy!
Cheers!
Wife has questioned my sanity with getting up at 4am here in Kansas to watch guys in Ireland play tabletop games.
Then she saw the tables and asked if I’m planning to build a winter table like that? I answered yes and she smiled and said have fun!
Well done guys!
I’m painting some stuff ready fr SW Legion and listening to to the stream 🙂
Little one down for a nap…now i just need her to sleep long enough to watch the whole live stream….
looking forward to this, very excited for the live streams.
the live stream is very cool. thanks again for this
I’ll be downloading and checking this game out
I need one of those snowy battlefields.
The map is very cool. I’m inspired to do something similar for my relicblade campaign.
Lucky guy who get character drawn by Jared on their card.
This is a great memory from this beta week end.
+1 for Justin’s Terrors horde vs 8 Fold Path mega game.
Happy Saturday, looking forward to watching some games and catching up on content I missed. Great work, keep it up!
Legacy system and campagn are the key that bring me to the kickstarter just after the quality of 4ground.
This game looks awesome!
Livestream is amazing. Just painting some miniatures while watching.
Looking at the Live Twitch stream and the massive amount of dice that seem to be required, this game is screaming for a helper app for the dice. I believe people would pay for an app you can have on your phone or tablet that would both allow you to roll dice and easier refer to your cards. It seems like it is a bit fiddly and needs a way to manage all the bits.
The app would also help in the card drafting as well.
App would be great but it shouldn’t delay the release of the game…
I needs it..
Looking like alot of fun. I hope 4ground get alot of great feedback from this.
Looks great, wondering the best faction for dwarfs is.
Looks like a very interesting game. The twitch cast has been a cool addition to the day. I’m thinking that new industrial terrain 4ground has would be my choice.
I have been through my Bits Boxes and discovered something horrific… I have arms, torsos, bases, heads, weapons….. but no usable legs… I have downloaded all the gear for Fabled Realms and will probably proxy some models in while I wait for my Bits Boxes to get “restocked”. So disappointed I can’t enter the comp for Kit-bashing, but then again, I am even more disappointed I can’t be at this event. But a handful of videos and content each day so swings and roundabouts. 🙂
Wonder when we will get the role-playing game? I read want to read up on all the lore plus play the game that Cad and Ben etall have been playing for the last 15yrs. Also where did you get the resin boats?
Ya, what is the time frame for the RPG rules? The foreground guys have talked about it but I don’t recall a ballpark estimate.
Extensive coverage as usual, looks great.
That table looks amazing, guys!
This looks to be a lot of fun! I’ll be checking in periodically today
It is hard to make my way though the blog posts as I’m tied up watching the twitch feed. So much to do today.
Looks like a grat time. love the idea of testing the legacy rules.
Well played guys.
The tables look really fantastic. They’re a dream table for anyone I would think. I’m excited to tune in this weekend to watch more of the awesome content and learn more about Fabled Realms.
You guys put a lot into this and it makes for a great viewing experience! Love the terrain! Keep it up!
Ok I’m seeing a distinct bearded format to this particular event. I think some of them may be taking the traditional gaming term ‘beardy bloke’ a bit too seriously. Glad to see the shaven headed look is also making a comeback…I may yet become trendy if thats the case.
You guys look like you are having a great time Beta testing. Great Job Beast of war and 4 Ground cant wait to get stuck in.
Great tables, fantastic paint jobs on the figures, looks like a lot of fun.
Looks like a fantastic set up all round; the BoW guys have done themselves proud, it seems like every event they up the bar even higher
Nice dragon. What company?
I believe it is from Rising Sun?
as always a nice stream
That Mead hall is epic!
Love the live stream! Please more of this in the future! I am so sad that I was not able to get in on the Fabled Realms kickstarter! There miniatures are some of the most beutiful miniatures I have seen in a fantasy range! As soon as they will start selling them on their site I will buy them all! <3 Thanks to Beasts of War for this amazing weekend with 4 Ground!
Echoing everyone else the live stream is brilliant. Sitting here painting Necrons and tuned in for the whole day. Fab.
@warzan: White Tiger? WTF! Surely you could have done something a bit less OP and kept that mechanic for your game. The idea was genius.
I see a lot of beautiful token and made man object like the balista.
You have a great week end of game.
We enjoy seeing you here.
Looks like a top day, liking the livestream!
Let the weekend commence.
Really enjoy watching the beta weekend.
Two comments:
Custom Dice (sounds like you are making them). Color blind (like myself) will struggle with all those slightly different shaded dice. Please make the icons on the different colored dice unique. This will help us ID the dice quicker and make less mistakes.
I’m getting the impression that range is a bit too powerful even with the extra cost. Granted it was powerful and is in most RPG’s and fantasy games.
Maybe add in Tower Shields that warbands can pick up. Add’s better defense against range but weaker against melee. This could help out those forces that have a hard time overcoming range combat.
I agree about range weapons seems to be very good.
But it is very difficult to make a game where range and close combat are equally effective.
Moreover, history show us that ranged weapon are more effective 😉
Maybe add a yellow for every 8 inches? Does small terrain help add dice and can you hit the deck making you either a harder Target or add dice if behind terrain?
Amazing models! wish my 3D printer could make something like that. Great coverage of the game system and factions!
The livestream really makes all the difference to following the Bootcamp. Looking forward to tomorrow.
So with the draggoi hydrophobic does water magic do more dmg? Or if you cast a pool of water underneath would they drown or take dmg?
Also curious how the skirmish game will affect the RPG and vice versa
Great seminar.
Ben has too many secret!!
Keep asking him for background information to share.
Warzan: The guard ill help you soon to stop the Druggoi.
OMG this game is beautiful, everything about it, the models, the fluff, even the company that’s making it. I can’t wait to start a mercanary privateer crew of goblins, is this possible? I don’t know yet but I want to do it anyway!
I love seeing what foreground is doing…love the terrain and loving the game play! 🙂
This is a great stream. Can’t wait for the next day
looks like fun
While I’d love to be keeping up with you guys in real time, it’s a bit difficult from the other side of the world! Still, it means I get to binge watch all the content, which is also pretty cool.
Really great coverage over the last 2 days. Making want to find out more about Fabled Realms.
I’m hoping we see other terrain during a main live feed, some objective games, and the supposed game between Cad and Ben
Also will we see some new terrain? I thought at the beginning Ben and Cad shewed Justin or Warren out of a room that they were building terrain in?
With the great looking dice trays 4ground made they should be using those instead of the bland dice box. Highlights Jared’s work and they are very portable
Loving this whole coverage. Thanks BOW
Happy Sunday all. Looks like everyone is having a great time and I truly wish i was there. The game looks like great fun and I am becoming a fan or the 4Ground terrain. Thanks to all.
Fantastic coverage this weekend, thanks for everyone’s hard work, it’s been a really enjoyable insight into the fabled realms.
Best Painting Content ever. I may finish a whole army watching this 🙂
How great that is having all these videos and pics and stuff. There’s so much to watch.
Nearly 50 updates for Saturday alone, wow, thanks for all the hard work!
Gonna have to get a late pledge in im afraid now!
So sorry having missed the live streaming. Is there a chance to catch the Lore bit at least somewhere?
I’d really like to know how 4ground is going to expand on the range: more models for the four factions or more factions first (and which / what kind)?
You guys are tempting me again. I have to stop watching to protect my wallet!
This was a cool day
