Mr. White Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 If so....how was it? How would you rate the story and overall experience against other dungeon crawler campaigns? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Praecautus Posted June 4, 2018 Share Posted June 4, 2018 I completed it with my son and nephew, they enjoyed it. It is great fun although it could do with a synopsis of the background story to tell the players before the first dungeon. The gm can bring it alive more if they e.g. Voice characters, have the players overhear things etc It was good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sharkbelly Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I plan to run it next fall as a bit of RPG-lite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SirPug Posted June 5, 2018 Share Posted June 5, 2018 I have played but we failed at the last fight of the second last mission. We did't manage to stop hammerhall from crashing in to lava. Perhaps next time we will have enaught punch to clear the fight in time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

'Next time' Does your group plan to replay the entire campaign or just the scenario they lost? I have Silver Tower, but my hesitation with Hammerhal is that once its been played, it's done. I don't think it has a scenario/adventure generator like AHQ did. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Echunia Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 I've finished both Silver Tower and Hammerhal, and overall Hammerhal was a better experience in my opinion. Mostly because it wasn't randomly generated. It suffered slightly from some rooms being a bit too empty and the overall difficulty being quite low. I would recommend that as a GM one takes some liberty too spice things up a bit. When it comes to replayability I don't think its any different from SIlver Tower, the story is the same every time, you just have to wait a few years before replaying it with the same people. My group recently finished the white dwarf Hammerhal quests and are now going to replay Silver Tower which we finished quite some time ago.

I hadn't a chance to play Warhammer Quest, yet, but in case of Hammerhal like games with a DM I would say, the DM could make his own Story with own Scenarios. This way the game stays fresh.

Echunia Posted June 6, 2018 Share Posted June 6, 2018 Yes definitely, I've considered doing this for my group but it does represent significant time investment to design dungeon layout and write a story. Would be curious to know if other people have done so and were willing to share their custom campaigns. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think hammerhall has 2 branching paths. Next time we will try te other path with all 4 Kharadron overlord heroes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gjnoronh Posted June 21, 2018 Share Posted June 21, 2018 I run WH Q with my wife and two young kids (7 and 9 years old) we've been doing silver tower but we haven't done hammerhal. Do you think I could be the DM while playing alongside the rest of the family? I've done that in D and D a long time ago to make small parties work.

MacDuff Posted June 24, 2018 Share Posted June 24, 2018 Sure! Just don't take the lead as a player. Let the others make the decisions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sharkbelly Posted June 28, 2018 Share Posted June 28, 2018 Yup, it should work just fine. Especially if you are playing a more combat-oriented character. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
