Skipper’s Redemption

The stories within this blog are set in the land of Albion, specifically the realm of Northymbra, which is the setting for Oathsworn’s miniature skirmish game, Burrows & Badgers. The background itself is fairly open, allowing - and indeed encouraging - players to come up with their own narratives around who the characters they have designed are and what they’re all about.

I’ve started this blog to document the progress of my first warband, Skipper’s Redemption, and the tales they will weave as they progress through the various missions that the rules throw up.

For those of you who know the game, I’ve opted to go with the routiers allegiance. The text in the rule book describes them as mercenary groups consisting of well-equipped soldiers with the skills and wounds you would expect of beasts with such exposure to a lifetime of battle. My interpretation of these guidelines took me down a more nautical theme, envisioning a band of pirates who had survived everything that their chaotic and dangerous lifestyle had thrown at them and who continue to pillage and plunder to this day, picking up some new recruits along the way.

I hope you enjoy.
