Army of the Goblinoids

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Contains stats for both standard OGL play and Feast of Crows unit conversions.

The orcs, goblins and bugbears of the land have a just reputation as ravagers, destroyers. Mindless barbarian forces intent on nothing more than rape, burn and pillage. They breed fast, live for war ? even amongst themselves ? and exist in a brutal hierarchy of strength, bowing their heads only to those breeds and powers that prove stronger and more ruthless than they are.

The goblinoids represent chaos and animal instinct, they exist at the fringes of the civilised world in the wild places and in the caverns underground, they inhabit ruins and the dark areas of the map. They are fear of the savage and dangerous side of nature they are beasts that walk like men and use their own tools against them.

Goblinoids are not the most intelligent or tactically minded of creatures, their options mostly being limited to attacking endlessly, relying on their great weight of numbers to succeed where others would fail. Their personal physical prowess and low animal cunning still makes them dangerous though and many a well thought out and clever trap has failed to take into account goblinoid tenacity and savagery.

They are the engines and footsoldiers of chaos and evil, bringing war and strife to every land and every people endlessly. Occasionally a great host will arise, lead by an effective leader and then the lands of the man-like races should tremble and fear what is coming.

Feast of Crows is an abstract mass combat system designed to be scalable to most army size conflicts from skirmishes to nations and designed to be compatible both in spirit and in mechanics with the Open Gaming Licence material available, most especially that depicting the pitched battles of heroic fantasy.

You don?t need to spend out hundreds of pounds on figures or spend hundreds of hours painting them to a fiddly, detailed degree. You can make do with scratch paper, your dice and a calculator or any other method of representing the battle you wish to use from miniatures to just keeping the whole idea in your head.

Feast of Crows, by necessity, abstracts the nature of role-playing combat further than it already is. While some heroes, magicians and warriors alike, or some monsters, tamed or bargained into helping an army can make an impact, it is usually as leaders of the rank and file and not as individuals that they will make their mark.

Feast of Crows requires little more preparation than a normal game or a normal set of character sheets and battles involving thousands of troops can be resolved just as quickly, if not more quickly, than normal party-level combat encounters while retaining the heroic, magical feel placed in gamer's imaginations by The Lord of the Rings or other fantasy works.

Feast of Crows is a feast, not only for the scavengers of the battlefield but also for the gamer seeking a good solution to resolving large scale battles as part of their epic campaigns.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
