Roshonocon 2019

Many of the local friends i game with are unable to attend the forthcoming HMGS Fall In convention this year so we opted for running a local con that a friend graciously hosted.

First game we played was a 4 player Masters of Power game. The rules are made to cover sword and blaster style science fantasy like HeMan and Blackstar cartoons from the 80s.

The rules

3 Power locations need to be captured and held by the end of 5 turns.

Horde forces on one side controlled by 2 players

Vs the Evil Warriors of Skeletor and the Masters of the Universe as their temporary allies against the Horde.

Hordak leading this Force personally with a Destructo tank, troopers, Scorpio and Mantenna.

Evil Lynn leading a detachment of Skelly Bots

Skeletor and Faker take the middle.

Leech and a Horde trooper move to flank.

Man at Arms and Teela advance with a group of Royal Guard.

Grizzlor and Shadow Weaver’s forces.

The Horde advances!

The Destructo tank fires!

Character cards from the rules 

Hordak’s cards

Man at Arms passes a Power Check, lifts a block and hurls it at a Horde trooper destroying him and wounding Leech.

Leech returns the favor and throws the block back!

Grizzlor grabs a block to

And also throws it back!

Royal Guardsmen are crushed Teela is wounded!

But Leech is crushed when a block is thrown again!

Eternian advance!

A firing squad is set up on the hill

As well as on a flank

Hordak advances with his guard.

The other Horde team rains fire down on advancing enemies.

Skeletor moves forward with Faker.

Skelebots float across the lava.

The Destructo tank moves to a new firing position.

Beast Man courageously or foolishly attacks an entire Horde Group in Hand to Hand, wounding Scorpia.

Shadow Weaver casts Sorcerous bolts from behind cover.

Hordak seizes one of the objectives!

Faker moves to leap across the lava!

Eternians cross the bridge and fire upon the Horde.

Hordak defends against Evil Lynn.

Ram Man lines up and does what he is made to do - RAM!!!

Ram Man takes them all out except for Mantanna!

Trap Jaw finishes him off!

And the Eternians seize the other objective!

In the end the Horde lost, was not able to seize and hold the objectives. A few more edits to be made to the rule set and it will be released.

The next game we played was Legend of the High Seas.

The Caribbean port

Mayor Sanchez and the townsfolk

The peaceful port

Town square is hot!

A pirate Grenadier attempts to throw an explosive, but ends up killing himself and his bunk mate.

Soldiers on the move!

In the end it was a win for the town, but at a terrible price in people and geese.

More to come,
