Using Frostgrave for Star Wars

-
This is something I put together back in 2015 before all the Star Wars miniatures games made an appearance. 

In order to use Frostgrave for Star Wars skirmishes, we made the following changes to the core rules.
  • Jedi Knights/Sith Lords = Wizards. Padawans = Apprentices. All other roles can be used. For example, we gave the Marksman profile to the Stormtroopers. A Gamorrean with an axe was classed as a Barbarian.
  • Wizards start with +5 Fight and 15 Armour.
    • Using the above, this then means that apprentices then start at +3 Fight and 10 Armour.
  • Both wizard & apprentice get +2 Fight from using a lightsaber.
  • Only Force users get the benefit from Critical Hits.
  • Force users can cast whilst in hand to hand combat. 
  • Leap can be used on self as well as line of sight characters.
  • Ranged weapons like blasters, don't need an action to reload.

Also, we looked at the Frostgrave spell list and came up with lists for Jedi & Sith. Each spell starts at the published level in the Frostgrave book.

Jedi Powers (Spells)
  • Petrify 12
  • Time Store 14
  • Fast Act 8
  • Elemental Shield 10
  • Push 8
  • Heal 8
  • Leap 8
  • Telekinesis 8
Sith Powers (Spells)
  • Petrify 12
  • Time Store 14
  • Fast Act 8
  • Elemental Bolt 12
  • Push 8
  • Strike Dead 18
  • Leap 8
  • Telekinesis 8 

As in Frostgrave, it's possible to learn new spells through the discovery of grimoires and scrolls. Just consider it as learning something new about the Force. Most spells can be rationalized for the Star Wars universe. Also, use your common sense on spell discovery as not all spells lend themselves to the Jedi and vice versa for the Sith.
Anyway, I hope this helps.

Ambush at the Canyon - A Fistful of Lead game.

Woohoo, first game of 2024! This time we dived into the 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' scenario book. Picking the first scenario ' The Waterin' Hole ' as the basis for the game. Whilst on a manhunt for the 'Bad Hombres' gang, Marshal Bill and his posse have stopped for some rest and much needed meal. What the Marshal doesn't know is that the 'Bad Hombres' led by Ricardo are about to spring an ambush in the canyon. The posse start surrounding the camp fire. The 'Bad Hombres' start on the high ground in the canyon. Also, they took up the option of  placing a gang member in reserve, with the caveat that he turns up at one end of the canyon within the first three turns. Marshal Bill would get 5 Renown points for killing or capturing Ricardo. Also, he would get 1 Renown point for each of the 'Bad Hombres' killed or captured. The 'Bad Hombres' had different victory conditions. Ricardo couldn't leave the ...

Massacre at Briar's Bend - A Fistful of Lead Game

Another scenario from 'For a Fistful More: Scenarios for Fistful of Lead' with the third scenario "Massacre at Briar's Bend". This time, Marshal Bill and his Posse get to have a rest, as for this scenario, it is Native American Braves versus the US Cavalry. A Cavalry patrol has set up camp amongst some rocks by a river. The Cavalry are armed with (not so trusty) carbines and pistols. In this scenario, if a carbine suffers a '1' when shooting, the player rolls a dice and if the result is odd, then suffers an additional 'out of ammo' token. The Braves start in two group of 5, in the opposite corners not covered by woods. To add a bit of drama to the game, the game length would only be determined at the start of Turn 6. Rolling a D10, a result of 1-6 would mean the game lasts 6 turns, any other result would the number of turns the game lasts. The Campsite The Braves on the other side of the river used both their turns to advance to the riv...

Dead Set Britain

Cruising through the empty streets, Jezza and the gang stumbled upon a promising spot for exploration: three houses and a construction site that looked ripe for looting.   They pulled up in the Transit and quickly devised a plan. Jezza and Captain Slow would tackle two of the houses, while Hamster and Stig would take on the remaining one and the construction site. Turn 1 Captain Slow sprinted to the first house. Finding the front door locked, he took a chance and kicked it in with a crash. Jezza bolted past him, heading straight upstairs. Meanwhile, Stig leapt out of the Transit and dashed to take cover behind a maroon Rover parked on the street.   Hamster quickly realized the commotion had attracted the attention of the zombies nearby. Without hesitation, he pulled out his trusty pistol and fired at one of the undead. He missed, but the shot did its job—drawing the zombies toward him instead. Turn 2 Jezza and Captain Slow charged upstairs tow...
