FMW update 5

 Two weeks worth of dungeon in this update. 

The old Foundry area was used by Fell Helm to produce plague manacles to help spread the disease during the first Plague outbreak. The manacles are outlawed in the civilized world and possession or use of them is punishable by death.

Slowly gaining information on the plague, but nothing yet on the "Q" dice.

The automaton at 35 is wheeled and only patrols the upper level that it is on. It will not move down to the lower level by itself. It's job is to knock anything off the upper level it patrols. 

The holes in 36 and 37 are used by Coilers to move in and out of the dungeon although they rarely do so. Have to finish out level 3 before knowing how deep they are.

 The chains in 42 are important as they activate items in different areas of the dungeon. That is the reason they are distinguishable by 2 or 3 links. Players should be able to know that if they pulled the 3 link chain and see it later on in the dungeon they will realize the affect of the chain.

Book of War

I have a pdf print of Book of War that I made a couple of years ago when I started watching the game play videos on youtube, but always nice to have a printed copy of a rule book. This came in the mail a couple of days ago from Lulu press.

An excellent rule set to bridge the gap between unit size wargaming and D&D. Book of War is more streamlined than Swords and Spells, and there is a lot of resources for this games play at oedgames.com.

The author, Dan Collins,  has four seasons worth of playtesting on youtube (links at OED games and Wandering DMs youtube channel) which can be helpful to get some insight on the rules and play results.
