Hello Kitty vs Cthulhu Mythos - Sweetheart Playtime

 Oh its going down tomorrow!

Not just another happy holiday, its time again for kids versus Cthulhu! Wherein I am going to once again be invaded by my favorite gaggle of tweens. Thats right, the landlords grandkids are coming for Yuletyde gaming night. And I thought Id take some pics now before the event. I prepared a special game for them, The last time I saw the girls on Thanksgiving, I questioned them about what toys they liked most of all. And the answer was Hello Kitty. So I bought some and yes these are more age appropriate minis for the girls to roleplay with. I hope they like these particular ones.

Hello Cthulhu! Sweetheart playtime!

Enjoy the madness...

Wizard Kitty: Ok team, we have to eliminate the Mythos threat in this dungeon to protect the town and get our Quest completed. Somewhere up ahead are nasty slimy tentacle-y monstrosities for us to banish!

Ice Cream Kitty: I will lead the way with the magic of my +1 Vorpal Ice Cream Cone!

Apple Kitty: Oh noes! The Gate is closing behind us all on its own! No one is touching it. It must be automated. 

Worried Kitty: Or haunted!

Screeeeeee...... Ka-Chunk! And indeed, the Gate closes behind them.

Our four heroines have entered the dungeon and there is no turning back now!

Wizard Kitty: The way is forwards. Lets split into two teams. That's always a good idea, right?


These two kitties come face to face with Nyarlathotep!

Ice Cream Kitty: Have at thee fiend!

Wizard Kitty: Ok I cast Fireball at the darkness!


And the other two kitties encounter Shoggoth!

Apple Kitty: This apple is worthless! I wish I had chosen better equipment in the town.

Worried Kitty:  I dont even have an item! I knew it. Never split the party!

~~~

So lets see what will happen tomorrow. Will the girls do better than this trial run? Im thinking the girls will try diplomacy with the monsters. Its their way of doing things. To them, monsters are pets in the process of being tamed. :)

Cheers and Happy Holidays to all,

Kobold Army - A Kennel of Kobolds

 Here is a Kobold Army - A Kennel of Kobolds

Its a canine tsunami! No fire hydrant is safe from them. They will lift a leg and mark their territory. And the pissing will not stop there!

So Kobolds have a greek mythological origin? The Kobaloi. Cool.

I went for a blue color scheme.Why? Apparently the blue mineral Cobalt is named after Kobolds! I guess the Kobolds play tricks with miners and change gold and precious metals into Cobalt for shits and giggles. Dogs might be a man's best friend, but I dont think Dwarves and Kobolds are going to be friends.

The Moon Dog Tribe marches to the sound of barks and howls.  Awoooooo! Oh those raucous devil-dogs!

They are led by a Gnoll hero leader, some Kobold leaders, and supported by Kobold Clerics. Kobold Clerics pray to the Great Sky Dog. *points to Crom* Your god lives beneath him!

Here are the ranged missile troopers. Crossbows, Slingers, and Bows.

Kobolds with Axes, Maces and Clubs.

A large unit of Kobolds armed with spears.

Some possible future reinforcements: wolves, wargs, blink dogs, maybe a 3 headed Cerberus. Going to have to find more dog-themed monsters in myth and miniatures.

Cheers,

Mar
