Sticks & Stones at KublaCon 2008
I attended KublaCon this year to run Sticks & Stones, a Savage Worlds skirmish game published by Jeff Valent Studios. This is the first game I've run on behalf of the Savage Worlds Explorers Society.
The game was a variant of the "Everybody Whack the Dinosaur!" scenario from the Sticks & Stones rulebook. There were four packs of stone age denizens drawn to the mysterious cave found at the base of a small volcano...
Stone age denizens approach the volcano...
The first of the packs was a group of stone axe-wielding AHS(Archaic Homo Sapiens) with their pet Tricertops named Gronk. Gronk was a bit near-sighted but was sure to trample anything the AHS pointed him at.
The AHS Pack emerges with Gronk the Triceratops
Next up was group of spear-wielding Dino-Sapiens freshly arrived from their steamy swamp and their pet Utahraptor named Snappy. Snappy couldn't stand up to Gronk but was good support for the Dino-Sapien leader, Sssmak.

Third was a group of nasty spear-chucking Neanderthals with their slow-moving but inevitable undead dino named Steggy. Steggy was nasty in a fight... if he could get their on time.
Steggy the Slow marches behind the Neanderthals
Last but not least were the Cave Pygmies! Decked out in warpaint with their chief riding a giant Chomposaurus named Rippy, they were determined to get their share of the fight!
The Cave Pygmies decked out for battle!
Highlights
* First dino-kill went to the Neanderthals who made short work of the Dino-Sapien's Utahraptor. Gang-up bonus and Wild Attack for the win!
First Blood!
* The Neanderthal pack leader named Haw was the first to make it to the cave at the base of the volcano. Despite having to deal with a cave-in, he managed to receive a blessing from an ancient neanderthal elder living there.
* The Cave Pygmies proved that size doesn't matter as they engage and tear apart the rest of the Dino-Sapien pack!
Chomposaurus: Om-nom-nom-nom
* Despite getting into A Bad Way and being surrounded by the entire AHS pack, Sssmak the Dino-Sapien leader actually manages to survive and take out most of his enemies!
Sssmak actually survives this...
* Haw the Neanderthal leader actually charges the Tricertops head-on and takes him out in one blow!
The aftermath
In the end the Neanderthals were the clear victors, but a good time was had by all! Special thanks to the KublaCon event staff for providing KublaBucks and the special edition Kubla pin for the participants.
