In this episode, we dive into The Consortium, an indie fantasy miniatures game that blends skirmish-level tactics with the heart of a narrative-driven campaign. Built for flexibility and creativity, The Consortium hands players the tools to forge their own heroes, battle monstrous threats, and tell stories in a world where Guild politics and ancient magic shape every mission. We explore the game’s core systems—from its intuitive Action Dice mechanic to its dynamic initiative token draw—and unpack how character and monster creation work through a point-buy system that rewards flavor and storytelling as much as power. Whether you’re into solo adventures, co-op missions, or alternating campaign roles with a friend, this game has room for it all. We also discuss what makes The Consortium stand out in a crowded field of fantasy skirmish games, highlight its strengths and quirks, and reflect on how it encourages hobby freedom with a “your minis, your world” ethos.
