Rangers of Shadow Deep is a new game written by Joseph A. McCullough, the writer of FROSTGRAVE. This time he has decided to self-publish his game through the "Drive Through RPG" website. It is available either as a digital download, or as a print on demand physical book that can be ordered from the site. The game is based on the Frostgrave rules engine, but is designed specifically for solo or co-operative play and is more story focused, and magic plays a lesser role.
I told my son about the game, and he seemed interested. He's been wanting to have a go at Frostgrave for a while now, and I thought that this might be a better way to get him into this style of gaming - I think a game of this length will hold his interest more if it is co-operative.
So we have decided to try a two player campaign. This means we get a Ranger and a mini warband each. I designed two Rangers with assistants and let my son have first choice.

| My Team |
Here are our starting characters:
 |
| Arthur - Ranger |
 |
| Malvolio - Conjuror |
 |
| Hattie - Recruit |
 |
| Fern - Guardswoman |
 |
| Jennifer - Ranger |
 |
| Geoffrey - Warhound |
 |
| Archibald - Archer |
 |
| Roderick - Man-At-Arms |
As our campaign progresses, we may want/need to swap out some of our characters for others, so I have painted enough models for every type we may require:
 |
| Conjuror |
 |
| Swordsman |
 |
| Archer |
 |
| Barbarian |
 |
| Tracker |
 |
| Recruit |
 |
| Man-At-Arms |
 |
| Knight |
 |
| Villager |
 |

 |
| Villager |
 |
| Savage |

| Templar |

| Rogue |
 |
| Arcanist |

And I've made a start on a few creatures:
 |
| Giant Flies and Giant Fly Demon |
