Starting January 2025 Chesterfield Open Gaming Society will be running a Moonstone gaming evening and escalation campaign on the 2nd Monday of each month.
Participants will pick a faction and a starting roster of models that will grow as the campaign progresses. We will gradually introduce Moonstone campaign mechanics such as upgrades and machination points later in the campaign.
From February onwards, Moonstones collected will be recorded as victory points and used to rank players in the campaign. Once campaign cards and machination points are introduced in April, these will affect victory points earned as per the Arising campaign rules.
Schedule
| Date | Roster size | Game size | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| 13th January | 3 | 3 | Friendly games |
| 10th February | 4 | 4 | Faction and starting roster locked in |
| 10th March | 5 | 5 | One model in your roster gets an upgrade card |
| 14th April | 6 | 5 | From now on, players get combat cards and two machinations as per the Arising campaign rules. |
| 12th May | 7 | 6* | A second model in your roster gets an upgrade card |
| 9th June | 8 | 6* |
Notes
The game size increasing to 6 in May and June will be reviewed based on how long March's and April's games take to play.
Where the roster is larger than the game size, you pick the models to use as you deploy them, as per Moonstone organised play rules.
As well as adding one new model each month, you may optionally swap an existing model in your roster for another each month.
You can follow the Facebook event for updates.
We will decide in June if the campaign will be continued, or a new one started for July onwards.
Taking part
If you want to take part, please see Jeff in person at a club night, or email: jeff@goblinoid.co.uk. Please include your name, chosen faction, and starting roster. As January is for friendly games, the rosters can be submitted any time before 6pm on Sunday 9th February. After then, please submit added models by 6pm the day before the campaign evening.
We want this campaign to be accessible as possible. Whilst you are encouraged to use the official Moonstone models, this is by no means required. You can use proxies or standees as long as it is clear to your opponent which model is which. Please make sure you also bring the relevant stat cards for the models in your roster. These can be downloaded from the Moonstone downloads page or there is a card compendium app, Moontome. If you will struggle to print these, please let me know and I we can print them and bring them along to the campaign evening.
A number of club members also have spare models they are not using in the campaign. Please ask on the campaigns facebook events if there are models you would be interested in borrowing.
