On a recent episode of the Tabletop Miniature Hobby Podcast, we took a look through the rulebook of Rangers of Shadow Deep. Now it was time to get the table set up and test it out for ourselves. In this episode, we talk through our experience of the deserted village scenario.
RoSD is a popular and exciting solo/cooperative game. There’s a lot of adventuring to be done with the core rulebook containing more than a few missions and scenarios. On top of that, there are various expansions available too which build out the story world and develop your rangers.

That said, we thought we’d start at the start, and that was a scenario that tasked us to venture out and look for one of our companions, a chap by the name of Aventine.
Aventine has been missing for a few days, and on top of that, there have been reports of an attack on a nearby village. It’s up to our party to take a look around and get to the bottom of things.
Our party are, admittedly, a bit of a gang of misfits. Hardly the noblest looking of bunches.
Ranger Harald Half-Orc (right), backed up by Boarus the “Boarbarian”, and Vinny the Vulture. These guys came from Otherworld, Midlam, and North Star, respectively.
Ranger Grubb (centre) flanked by Count Gunther and Fun Gus. The wee mushie man came from CP Models, whilst the other two were bought from Otherworld Miniatures.
“Count” Gunther. Probably not a real Count. Just a brutal thug in some plate armour. Or, potentially, disgraced nobility. But who’s going to ask?
“You might’ve lost your kettle, Vinny, but you’re still making the tea. Hey? What? That’s why they call me Fun Gus!”
Ranger Harald Half-Orc looking “pleased”.
Boarus the “Boarbarian”, ex-slave and arena combatant. Now, hired muscle.
What will become of this partygoing villager if we take him along in the next scenario?
Overall, the deserted village scenario was a lot of fun. Remember to check out our full episode on Rangers of Shadow Deep, and please take a moment to fill out the Miniature Hobbyist Survey, too!
Absolutely love your podcast, keeps me company at the drawing board! Thanks for the links to the Otherworld miniatures, their faces have so much personality.
Question about the Great looking battle mat or table cloth with the stone print, where can one buy it? Thanks!
Thanks very much Sam! Glad you enjoy it 🙂 the battle mat came from https://www.gamemat.eu/
