One collection complete!

Been a while, but keep reading,

 In a previous post I stated my collection goals. Well not much has changed except I have given up any notion of collecting OD&D, a fools errands for the money involved, though I will probably at some stage seek out some reprints just for the pleasure of reading them.

But anyway the reason to post this is going to be a little ramble through the completion of my White Dwarf Collection - it's true I am now the proud owner of issues 20-100, HUZZAH.

And there they are in all their glory.

Now for the ramble.

I love these so much and cannot believe how much stuff I remember reading bits. I guess because I literally read over them again and again they tended to stick.

I think that issue 30 was the first I actually bought but I'm also pretty sure that 40 was when I started buying them as they came out. Remember these were the days when you could pick up back issues at the store ( in my case Not Just Stamps as well as Ritz toys - happy memories).

So some memory highlights:-

41 The Snowbird Mystery, a great Traveller adventure, Andy Slack is something of a genius if you were to ask me.

42-47 Iriliam, what can I say? Timeless classic that has everything, including what amounts to a second language, pointless but awesome to my teen self

53 Minas Truth, I pored over these photos and wish I had the wherewithal to do this game justice. And who can forget the charge of the Knights of Dol Amroth, all one of him!!

56 Last Log, classy CoC scenario that was only improved by the awesome use of a Space 1999 Eagle in the photos, brilliant

57 SkyRig another just great Traveller adventure, proper Alien stuff.

59 on the road - this RW adventure just pressed my buttons, clever stuff.

62 Alien Werewolf in London - now this is just clever, such a simple premise but done incredibly well.

After 74 I was a casual buyer at best and by 100 the roleplaying had gone but I will now proceed to mention titles that stayed with me but I can't look at now as the mags have gone back into storage!

In no particular order as they come to me,

Freeway Deathride or something like it.

Eagle Hunt

Spuung ones, To Live and Die in Mega City One, a Day in the Life followed by a Night in the Death.

Sorry!

Tower Trouble.

And I can't believe I left out the Judge Dredd Games Day Spread - the hours I pored over those pictures. If anyone can direct me to any more info about this setup I would be grateful.

So many memories, such good times.

UK RPG magazines - getting there!!

 

Following on from the last post, here's a recent buy. Luckily for me condition is not something I worry about as long as they're complete.

I have done a (very) vague collection goal for UK mags and once again am wondering why I am bothering!

So I need (pretty subjective word bearing in mind we are talking about magazines that are generally between twenty and thirty years old) the following.

White Dwarf from 20-100

All 31 Imagines,

AND Valkyries, Fantasy Chronicles, Role Player Independent, Games Master international,GM Independent, Adventurer,Arcane and Gamesman.

There are probably more but I need to limit myself a bit, though there was a UK mag that I had a couple of copies that came with a plastic binding spine that I cannot remember the name of for the life of me!!

As we speak I need roughly a hundred more magazines, as well as a corresponding amount if really useful boxes to put them in.

Reading through these can be really interesting particularly as I have no actual gaming history between about 1989 and the present day - who knew LARPing and Vampire were a real thing that normal(ish) people got involved in!!

Happy days though, onward and upward.

Adventurer Magazine #1 Review

 

So

My current rpg collecting is now in its final form, which is as follows;

1 - D&D stuff (mainly Forgotten Realms but a little bit fluid).

2 - Traveller stuff - as much as I want.

3 - OD&D - good luck with that on my budget!

4 - UK RPG magazines.

So (4) is where we are at here. UK magazines are generally cheapish and readily available, in fact  generally can be more than the item itself.

I will subsequently list what I have and where I'm at but for now here is a new acquisition, Adventurer #1.

Brief review, it's ok.

90p in 1986 seems about right and it has a reasonable amount of content.

The fantasy adventurer, of which this is part one of 2 is formulaic but solid, nothing new in heaven and earth but ok.

The CoC adventure is actually quite decent but again, nothing much is new. The maps though are quite decent , but seem a bit overproduced for what is required (1986 was a bit like this though).

Miniatures stuff is again of its time, standard issue figures by decentish painters.

The reviews shine, seem well balanced and well thought out, good stuff.

Adverts if course are a joy, we can never get back to the halcyon years where all these products were on, and remained on, shelves in the high street. I know that times have changed but......

Little snippet on the news page, true that but whatever.

Great advice

See what I mean, a bit overdone.

You should go to this, and maybe try and buy some D&D stuff.

Best charity shop find ever

 

wowza!

This little lot came from a semi-local charity shop. Found the majority over a week ago but had to ask them to hold for me as my credit card wouldn't go through. (Called up Tesco Bank to have a pop at them as there was no good reason for this - only to be asked by the very patient lady "have you still got your expired card in your wallet, as it seems that this was the card that was used"! Cue sheepish apology)

Anyway I went back the following Monday to find the shop closed up. Called all week and finally got through on Friday to a lovely lady who remembered me and was sorry but they had been struck down by the dreaded Covid.

Monday comes again and I went in to collect my haul as well as a bundle of Players association News and mono modules that were on the shelf - oh happy day.

These weren't super cheap (a deal though) but once I've filled in some gaps in my LBB and WD collection will certainly pay for themselves. In a different collecting world I would definitely be keeping more of this stuff but I am trying to be a bit more controlled in what I want, even to the point where I am sort of making lists. Very pleased indeed, just need to get some on eBay so I can pay off the cc before the statement comes in🙄!

Thanks for reading

Carl

More new acquisitions

 eBay purchases, these are going straight back out  because I simply don't want them!

Over the years I have owned at least a dozen copies of these three, though strangely I don't ever recall having owned issues one or two.

These are an odd thing, I sort of don't know what their niche was, for the time they were reasonably pricy but they all include a fairly decent and we'll produced adventure. So are they module or magazine, who knows but their can be no surprise that they didn't last any longer than five issues.

Interesting though, the letters page and editorials really give an insight to the UK RPG scene post Imagine. Strange to think that this is where we got our news and information from, imagine a time when we had no internet and our information was fed to us from sources that were potentially quite biased, how naive we were!

That's it though, just a quick one.

Time flies, but got some stuff

 

Slow yesr but got some time on my hands. 

The Chainmail and Holmes basic book are both shot to pieces but doesnt stop me loving them, and they definitely fill a gap in the collection. 

I remember Hellgate Keep being a great later Forgotten Realms midule and its near the top of my to read pile. 

The double adventures are a mysteey to me, I dont even think I ever owned one back in the day and I certainly have no recollection of ever reading them.

Nore to come, maybe

2021 collecting goals

 So, a new year has dawned, with more of the same to look forward to it seems.

Nothing huge to say really, just continuing on my  quest to buy back all the stuff I sold a few years ago. 

10 years ago my goal was - every standard Forgotten Realms RPG item, every Traveller LBB era item and a complete OD&D collection.

I gave it a good go and was almost there but for 'reasons' it all had to go.

So now I'm back to it, and of course the price of most of this stuff has increased pretty much exponentially. Never mind, I'm in no hurry and don't really have a plan of any kind except hoping for the best. 

The OD&D is an issue- I have had 3 white boxes over the years and all the supplements but the prices on these are now ridiculous. I have 3 of the supplements that cost me around 25-30 quid each but I fear the box set may be my white whale. Hey ho, the rules are a bit crap anyway! I have just read a little of my Gods Demigods and Heroes book and it is truly awful. Layout and formatting are a joke and the foreword concerning Monty Hall games has to be read to be believed, truly a book of its time.

Anyway that's it for now, 

Later

E - the alphabet grinds on!

I have been remiss, real life gets in the way as always, so this post is on the fly because I saw the MM and decided to go for it. 

This means that E is going to be as much of a surprise to me as it is to you!!

Without further ado;

Eagle, giant - if you ever needed confirmation that Gygax was influenced by Tolkien then this is it - carrying stuff ability, friendship with elves and dwarves as well as a penchant to attack evil creatures, what can I say?

Ear seekers - a player f*** you monster, you can just imagine what the original campaigns were like when a beastie like this was a staple element. Avoid.

Eel - three different types (none screaming unfortunately). Why am I doing this, it’s a freaking skinny fish!!

Efreeti - now we’re talking real fantasy. Actually not a brilliant description as it goes, a fairly tough foe and a better servant, though how you get it to grant those three wishes without it coming back later with a friend simply to mess you up is a bit of a mystery. 

Elemental - just read through and got a bit bored, basically a bunch of hit points, though of course a good DM could ramp up the role playing. 

Next up is the elephant, why are we giving out experience points for this?

Elf - okay I admit I am defeated. First mention of the drow then on to Ettin, floating eye and eye of the deep, this has been an ill-conceived idea I feel. Never mind, F next and who knows what fun that will bring?!

( actually I can’t leave it there.  Wow, eyes of the deep are weird, and potentially nasty and of course every DM has had the original idea to have the two heads of an ettin have an argument (tell me I’m wrong, I dare you!)

Until later

Be safe

My complete published works in White Dwarf

A quick post, actually a rather nice callback to some of my recent missives.

Here it is, the one and only time I made it into print in a gaming

So, one mystery solved, this was issue 89 from May 87 which was actually a bit later than I had thought. That been said I did send this ad in a lot earlier because I was completely unaware that my mum was going to be selling our house, and by the time this got published we had moved. So clearly no luck with me swapping my stuff. This is also strange because I had assumed I was trying to sell up but it turns out I was just trying to get different stuff - also clears up for me what White Dwarfs I need to collect as this tells me I owned 40 onwards - again I could have sworn I had started collecting earlier than this but clearly not. 

Reading through ads in other issues this week I actually saw the request of an Internet buddy in issue 91. It turns out he had rather more luck in his searches than I did, talk about born under a lucky star.

And briefly, concerning issue 89. It had this

That’s right, a review of Heroes for Wargames!! This must be the place I found out about this book, again, I was buying stuff much later than I thought. The review is quite similar to mine, so I know I’m not a complete idiot after all.

The  issue is okay, good CoC item on phobias by Carl Sargent (a genius), the Paranoia Electric Sheep scenario (fun) and Eavy Metal featuring the legendary Phil Lewis - good times. 

Again, a stream of consciousness, hope you liked it

D is for Dragon - though not really

I’ve gotten round to reading about dragons in my old MM.  A couple of things have come up and given me cause for thought though the main one is I am NOT going to do an in depth review of dragons. I’m beginning to think the alphabet thing was a poor idea.
But that being said I have read the section and need to make a few comments. Firstly it is completely clear in the monster limit that dragon breath always causes damage totally the beasts total hit point value and not it’s current value. I seem to recall we had loads of arguments back in the day about this, players stating that once injured it’s potential to cause harm lessens. And who knew, it’s all here in the MM, plain as dad and incontrovertible - my god but we were idiots back then. I sometimes think that we weren’t mature enough to play games and enjoy them without it becoming a festival of bickering, bitching and point scoring - teenage boys in the 80s, what a bunch of twats!!

Secondly, read the section on dragon sundial. Easy peasy to do and very worthwhile financially. Why everyone wasn’t doing it is a mystery to me now - the rules and restrictions were right there in black and white High Gygaxian. That been said it’s a bloody nonsense of course, dragons are highly intelligent apex predators, particularly at the higher age categories and should be treated as such. Any DM worth his salt should be playing them as the greatest of bad guys, always ready to flee to fight another day if needs be. If I ever start playing again I will hold the dragon in high respect.

On the subject I can highly recommend the series “Dragons of the North” by Ed Greenwood. It was serialised in the Dragon and later appeared on the WOTC website statted up for third edition. This is how dragons should be. A great look at Firgotten Realms lore as well as insights into the machinations and desires of the Uber-monster, great stuff and well worth rooting out.

Anyway that’s it for now, stay safe in these strange times.

Heroes for Wargames

A recent Twitter post bought this book to mind.

I brought a copy of this new from a bookshop in Slough, so it must have been quite late in my gaming life. In 1986 I was 15/16 and definitely not as much into this stuff as I had been for for the previous handful of years. I have no clue where I heard about this book but I have a definite memory of really wanting it. (And I remember showing it off to my friend Robbie, who was less impressed than I - perhaps gaming hadn’t gripped him as strongly as it had me, or perhaps he just wasn’t an idiot!!

So what is it? I guess you could say it was a kind of coffee table book showing nicely painted ( Citadel) miniatures. There is an intro from Ian Livingstone/ Steve Jackson that doesn’t say a lot and a large serving of John Blanche/ early Warhammer. It starts with an introduction to RPGs (dull) and then goes to fantasy battles. A bit about figure making then a section on painting - nothing new in today’s world but this must have been quite cool then.
The section on Master Painters is quite cool, who didn’t love THAT John Blanche minatour?

One note about the book that bears sharing is that many of the photos are on a black background so are actually often not that clear, a minor quibble, and my eyes were probably better then.

All of this interspersed with what can only be described as iconic GE art from the mid eighties as well as some crap line drawings of new mini ranges (why?).

To sum up, I loved it 34 years ago and I still love it now, though I’m not really sure why. All in all it should be on every gamer of a certain ages shelf - good fun.

D is not, oddly, for Dragon (or Demon or Devil)

Onward through the alphabet, and I have not been looking forward to this one. So I’ve decided to wimp out and leave the above creatures to their own posts (or maybe I might just ignore them - are Demons and Devils still problematic in 2020?)

Anyway that decision really cuts down the content from 20 pages of my Monster Manual.
So we start at The Isle  of Dread staple, the dinosaur. Five wasted pages. As a father living within a 45 minute drive of the Natural History Museum many of my Sunday afternoons were taken up with dinosaurs and I genuinely have a soft spot for these Terrible Lizards, however the entry for them in the MM was utterly pointless, looking at them it should have said  “dinosaurs, you know dinosaurs, make up the stats as you see fit, big ones have big teeth and lots of hit points, plant eater  ones have lots of hit points and run away a lot. Basically xp factories that any party can easily avoid or defeat, especially if the player has ever watched a Jurassic Park film and shouted at the screen!!

Displacer Beast. A constant in AD&D. Quite a nasty chap with 6HD and good saves. Quite a neat beastie for an imaginative DM to role play.

Djinni (pronounced der-gin by my teenage self). Good aligned and another pretty much unkillable fellow if played correctly - turn invisible, move away at 24”, a quick Wind Walk and hey presto.
Probably one to use as an NPC, giving a bit of semi-Arabic flavour to the right adventure. Capturing one is left to the referee, but I guess a summoning circle and a bit of luck should do the trick, if you can be bothered.

Dog, War and Wild. Okay, every party at first level took it as a plan to buy a war dog at some stage. A good idea as it’s a nasty beast against first level type opponents. Unfortunately Fido quickly gets forgotten and by third level has most certainly gone to the great kennel in the sky - dull.

Dolphin..............,.......................,...yep dolphin.

Doppelgänger- best beast eva!! Should only be played in city adventures, a doppelgänger in the dungeon is basically pointless. Your group has to be able to accept a doppelgänger and your DM should basically be not a vindictive dick otherwise this creature does not go well. However to a mature group they can be great fun - they feature very heavily in the Forgotren Realms and it genuinely works.

Dragonne- vicious beast, nasty attacks and no real reason to be as far as I can tell. The picture suggests it’s a bit “orientally” but I’ve got nothing - sorry.

Dragon Turtle - maritime adventure always struck me as quite deadly if played realistically. Meeting a dragon turtle while aboard ship out of sight of land is a death sentence. Low armour class, massive hit points and huge attacks - the hull of your ship is holed, you’re sinking and you’re in metal armour - good night sweet prince.

Dryad - another creature for the role player. Not worth fighting but quite interesting to the right group. A recent Grogtalk podcast (worth a listen, it’s the Valentine’s Day one) talks about having a PC background involving being kidnapped by a Dryad for 1-4 years - potential fun.

Dwarf - ignore this as a monster, dwarves are PCs and should be treated as such.

That’s it for now, more to follow, perhaps even the rest of the Ds.

SURPRISE!!

C is for “Crikey, instant death no save”

On to C in the Monster Manual alphabet - might give this up before I get to D, which frankly looks like a pain in the arse!!
There are many C monsters to ignore, camels, centipedes and cattle do not get the juices flowing and neither do crayfish or crocodiles; please feel free to read all about them but remember time is a precious commodity.
On to the good stuff, in no particular order - Couatl, a psionic lawful good beast with “from 9-16 clerical abilities” whatever that means. And speaking of psionics, the cerebral parasite, purely intended to annoy those players who insist in mental abilities; take my advise and just ignore that bit of the books.
Chimera and cockatrice. Now these are proper fantasy monsters, nothing new here but as old school as Scottish dwarves who like beer and gold.
Centaur - nothing much of interest here, though for some reason only leaders have shields. (On a related centaur note a Kenzerco Hackmaster adventure, possibly Little Keep on the Borderlands, has a chap in prison whose only crime has been to bring back monster heads for reward  as requested by the local lord - you guessed it, monster heads in question were that of centaurs!!
Carrion Crawlers are another standard in the DMs locker but with 8 attacks each inflicting paralysis they are a TPK waiting to happen.
And lastly, but not leastly, the Catoblepas, a beast of ugliness and general horror. I’ll leave this here —ITS GAZE CAN CAUSE DEATH WITH NO SAVE IF EYE CONTACT IS MADE.  EVEN IF IT LOOKS AT YOU RUNNING AWAY YOU CAN STILL DIE - BLOODY HELL!!

And that’s it for C monsters, and not a Kraken among them

Small ads - end of a White Dwarf staple

Just a brief stream of consciousness post brought on by a quick skim through WD94. A very battered copy of this arrived in a job lot and something caught my eye, perhaps about thirty years too late.
I love the small ads in White Dwarf, it’s always been a place where nonsense was written and deals could be made. Announcement of the deaths of unfeasably named characters alongside ads for early TSR modules abound, some great deals here to be sure ( back to the trusty time machine!)
However what struck me about this issue was this:-

Was this the beginning of the end of WD as we new it? Probably as new fangled Space Marines and a place called Rynn’s world have a heavy presence. Tabletop gaming was certainly starting to usurp the old favourites but I guess that is progress.

However this was actually an issue full of content and well worth a read - Live and Die in Mega City One was the first instalment if a frankly excellent scenario, and worth the price of admission in its own.

One last thing - I don’t have ready access to a lot of my collection but I wonder if anyone can find my only ever time in print in a gaming mag. A young lad called Carl with the phone number Farnham Common 4105 put in an ad selling up his collection. Never worked out though because we moved house by the time the advert hit the press!!

Good memories here as always.

Until next time

Beauty, eye of - blah blah blah

So, the beholder.
Beyond doubt one of the most iconic D&D monsters as well as a total bad-ass.
Much has been said concerning the beholder  and I will be treading very well travelled paths on this but such is life.
I love this beast with a passion, the ultimate bad guy, a lonely megolomaniac with a heart of stone.
If you look at the stat block in the trusty MM many questions could be asked, particularly about the array of hit points and the variable armour class. I’m pretty sure first ed wasn’t really set up for such things but I’m sure organised players could take advantage.  That being said, if I were a beholder with all of these powers (which is a recurring dream of mine!) then I’m pretty sure I would be nigh on invincible, and rightly so. No stand up fights for this chap, even with its slow speed it was absolutely made for hit and run attacks and definitely for fleeing any battle going even slightly against it. With disintegrate and levitation you would never need to be cornered and your home base ( of which you would have several) would be full of murderous traps and such like.

For further reading there have been any amount of articles and books written; I am personally a big fan of the Forgotten Realms Xanathar concept- a crime boss hiding behind layers and layers of lackeys and sops - it should be the finale of a great campaign to finally meet a beholder - my only faint tinge is sadness comes from the fact that they have no moustaches to twirl!!

I’ll leave you with some Beholder art ( better available), from my UK MM and  from my copy of the Greyhawk OD&D book.  Lastly is a photo of a t-shirt available through The Secrey Cabal Gaming Podcast ( easy to find with some google-fu). I love the cabal and recommend their podcast if you like gaming in general. The artwork is by Steve, a talented artist and member of the Cabal crew.
Until next time

B is for Boo-lay - or something like that

So I’m at B. Already some of these things are irritating me; why were some of these creatures statted out as monsters?
Seriously ....... Badger,Baluchitherium, Barracuda, Beaver ..... just no need. Also the writing is completely random, I quote from the Bear listing

“The grizzly bear is a brown bear of very aggressive disposition. Black bears are usually not aggressive, brown bears are,  and cave bears are quite aggressive. “. What? The description really should have been “its a bear, you know, a bear”.

And why do Beavers have treasure- By the book they could actually have magical items!!

Boar and Buffalo - see Bear above.

Blink dogs are a classic, lawful good and a great companion for the ranger in your life. (Again, where does it keep its treasure?)

Black pudding - now I like black pudding on general principles but I’ve just never been a fan of slimes and oozes - looking at the stats though a couple of these could quite easily devastate a party / drop off the ceiling and there you go 3d8 damage a round and destroying your armour in short order. A DM could really go to town with one of these if he rules that a PC is envelopes and could take damage from his allies as they try and destroy the thing.

Brownie - dull faerie-kin, and I always thought they were evil because of the artwork.

Brain Mole -psionics, need I say more. Just a creature for that particular arms race between players and DM when they discover psionics are a thing.

Bugbear - essentially  a big old goblin but the 50% chance of surprise was new to me.

Bull - yep it’s a big cow.

And so to the real meat and drink here, the Bulette and the Beholder. I will save the wonderful Beholder for another time but the Bulette needs comment.

It’s pronounced Boo-lay I hear in many places but it doesn’t say that here. I’ll go to google and try and find out why, perhaps you could do it for me and leave a comment because I really might not get round to it. The 3 separate AC listings - AFAIK AD&D didn’t really go for variables like this on a big scale, perhaps I just missed that in the rules, but looking at it I’m sure my players would have gone for the eyes!! ( oh and beware the eight foot leap which can give it 4 3-18 attacks- bloody hell I would have him bouncing around like he was on a pogo stick if I was running him🙂. )

So that was B - some dead wood but some great fun as well

The Bulette and the Brownie, which looks like the more evil bugger?

And this just needs showing - Saxon Angel - a mini painter who’s work makes me think I should just cut my hands off😀

A is for Axe Beak - among other things

So my first foray into my beloved Monster Manual, with the letter A.
I have read through the stars and descriptions of all of the monsters, 6 beasts covering two pages and frankly not an auspicious start. Normally in creature codex type books you might expect some colour, flavour or even perhaps an adventure hook or two. This part of the MM will leave you disappointed I’m afraid; from the aerial servant to the Axe Beak via Ankhegs,ants and apes.
The Aerial Servant is quite a tough beast but seemingly has a habit of going mad-perhaps because it’s an air elemental type with no fly move, the poor bugger just mooches along rather than swooping through the air like it might in its home plan.
As for Ants and Apes; frankly I’ve got nothing, I honestly don’t even know why they bothered to stat them out- and why do either of these beasts have treasure? Gems for ants and the potential for magic items for the Carniverous Ape - utter nonsense (or old school d&d at its best if you prefer).
And on to the Axe Beak. .....all I can say Pitt the poor adventurer killed by an ostrich on steroids. Looking at the numbers (HD and attacks) these fellas could do some damage to a second or third level party, if I could be bothered I would play out the combat (Might do this in future if I get a bit more time.

So that’s it, the start of the worlds first monster book, I feel I may have wasted my time a bit - never mind B will surely B better!!

Until next time, look at this chap and tremble with fear

Fresh start - with added monsters

After a long hiatus I am going to try and reboot this blog again - I need to get some kind of proper hobby in my life even if it is just posting about the nonsense I like.

In an attempt to force myself to post regular content I have decided to go through the AD&D first edition Monster Manual from a-z; I haven’t really decided on a format yet but imagine it will be kind of a mini review/let’s read - nothing new but the world needs to hear a 49 year old sad sacks take on a book that is 41 years old and in no way relevant.

Just to tease you here is the book - it’s definitely not my original but it is a GW soft back version and thus a collectors piece. (If you are a collector like me that is - I’m sure more of my views on game collecting will come out as time goes on)

I

It’s not pretty but it’s mine!

Next post, the Letter A - to include the axe beak, and why not

All the best

Wargames Books - All the Basics are Here?

I've just taken delivery of an auction lot that I won online. The description was pretty vague and the photos were equally poor. The auction house difinitely did the seller a dis-service as I got them for a song (In fact shipping was over twice as much as the final auction cost!)
I took a bit of a punt on this, hoping that I could make a bit of a profit on reselling it and I think I did all right.
Included were a load of random wargames mags, including lots of Plastic Warriors, White Dwarfs and a whole heap of Del Prado Osprey stuff.

What really got me though were the wargames books - see the photos attached. All of the good stuff is here, Featherstone and all his jolly friends

 This is quite literally an old school starter set of required reading. Copies of the books that I borrowed from the library all those years ago.

Sadly they are all getting sold - that was the point after all - but its still great to have a little peruse - this stuff is absolutely timeless.


Until the next time

Carl

40K - You don't know what you're doing

Well, who would have thought it? My son and I actually played a game (of sorts) of 40K.

In all fairness  we were making it up as we went along a bit but we tried hard and we both enjoyed it well enough.  All the figures and  terrain are his but maybe this will give me impetus to paint those orks I have in a carry case. Really please to actu ally game, need more of this in my life.

(For the record I came across creditable second!)
