Seafall Shadowbox Project (SPOILERS)

We finished our Seafall campaign back in December and I wanted to do something with the remnants of the game. I eventually decided to make a shadowbox display and so spent a few days sorting through the game components, deciding what I’d like to include, playing with composition and removing a ton of stuff to…

More SeaFall Thoughts after Game 9

We’re now nine games into our five-player SeaFall campaign and I thought I’d jot down some (as non-spoilery as possible) thoughts on how things are playing out: Oh my god, does this game sprawl, especially with five of us playing. If we weren’t so close to a potential end, I’d be constructing storage solutions and…

SeaFalling Once More

On Friday night, we once again met at East Coast Gaming to explore uncharted waters in search of the Island at the End of the World. It had been fully three months since we’d last played back in mid-January, and so the question of the hour was can we remember what on earth we’re even…

SeaFall – Onward to Glory

And while I didn’t have the highest rank starting out,…

SeaFall – Prologue

On Friday night, we started a 5-player SeaFall campaign. Burke had picked up the game at the marathon and put out the word to our Pathfinder group, and we all leapt at the chance to try out the latest legacy game from Rob Daviau & PlaidHat Games. I’ve heard the game compared to Merchants &…
