The Spartan Games Blog is the portal through which we will communicate major events, where our model makers will chat to you about their latest creations, and artists will share concept art. Additionally, if we need to tell you about new rules, this is the place we’ll do it.
We’re also going to be featuring a lot more short story items on our website, so we actively encourage you to share your fan related materials with us. Materials should be submitted to Steve Rhodes on steve@spartangames.co.uk. Please ensure all written pieces are between 600 – 4,500 words (the latter will be split into 2 parts) No submission will be used without prior contact with the writer.
Captains of Renown: Thevan Phoskis
Thevan Phoskis was once one of the most powerful mages of Queen Frea Yaldoran’s Council. A primary architect of the Northern and Golden Spires, Lord Phoskis was instrumental in controlling the arcane energies being harnessed and focused by the Spires during the Trial which rose Queen Frea to her throne. Having abandoned the weakened faction of King Sonnekhet decades before his final collapse, Mage Lord Phoskis was poised to become one of the most influential elves in the entire Kingdom of Thaniras. However, the upper echelons of...

Click here to read Part 1 of the Admirals of the Broad Blue So, a week in and things are looking good. Almost everyone got their first games in, and the painting is proceeding apace. It’s been a little tough, as there have been a variety of challenges that have arisen in scheduling, as there always are when you’re trying to put together a campaign like this, but we’re moving forward nicely. First this week I’d like to talk a little bit about how WE play Uncharted Seas here in southern New Hampshire. Most of the guys in our group are...
read moreDragos Koranyi (Part 2)
Day 7264, Just North of the Cauldron of Silence I will admit to a certain amount of trepidation upon first boarding the vessel of another race. It is not a question of alien motivations or problems with communication, as my experiences have shown me that most sentient beings are moved by a very similar, and limited, array of stimuli. However, knowing that a man – whether human, elven, or even orc – wishes to be remembered in glorious terms, does not negate the alienating aura of ‘the other’ as one joins a new non-human crew...
read moreMission: Red Sky in the Morning
The first Mission in The Cauldron of Silence campaign. Mysterious reavers have struck outposts and commercial ships across a vast expanse of the Uncharted Seas. From the pattern of the attacks, the commanders in the area believe they know the general area from which the bloody raids have originated. Scouting forces have been dispatched to discover the base of these remorseless pirates. It is pure bad luck when two of these scouting forces find each other and certain bloody assumptions are made. The Combatants Any two fleets. Forces Each...
read moreBattle Report: Off The Shoulder
Day 7257, Off the Shoulder of the Cauldron Curiosity, they say, has killed many a cat, and a man or two besides. I generally scoff at such platitudes, until moments such as this. I have been aboard the Kuraga Kumpano, Hawk Cruiser, and under the command of Captain Jaroslaw Jasomir for almost a week. Where old Garrik was friendly and personable, Jasomir has been quiet and brooding. New to the Uncharted Seas, he chomps at the bit to escape Imperial rule, even Garrik’s loose interpretation of it, to join the Tepes separatists down in...
read moreCaptains of Renown: Garrik Arkos
Garrik Arkos was born the heir apparent to the Arkos Islands over 40 years ago. Growing up within the palace of Arkruden, he was raised to rule over the scattered island territories of that ancient, noble line. As part of his righteous upbringing he was expected to serve in several capacities under military advisors, learning martial skills deemed imperative for every noble son to master. As a very young man, he served in the Arkosian army as a page on the general staff. He performed ably, if not with any special distinction, for his full year...

Captains’ Logs, Entry 1 Like many gaming groups out there, our first exposure to Spartan Games was with its very first game: Uncharted Seas. Many of us bought into it wholeheartedly, buying the mega bundles or grabbing the blisters as quickly as they came off the boats. Russ and I at the D6 Generation podcast went in halvsies on the mega bundle, and I started my first two fleets: Dragon Lords and Iron Dwarves. Of course, several months later when the Thaniras Elves came out, I had three. That year the D6G did our first convention...
read moreDragos Koranyi
From the Journal of Dragos Koranyi Day 7251, off the coast of Eastern Karneia. If there is one thing I have learned from a lifetime of running, it is that every man is running from something. As I look at those words, written in a spacious guest cabin aboard the Condor Class Flagship Katerina Bel under the latest of half a hundred false names, I realize that there may be some small amount of self-serving interpretation in them. Regardless, however, whether from self-defence or a keen insight into the sentient mind, I stand by those...
