We'll have plenty of copies with us for the UK Games Expo, so if you're coming along please come and say hello and take a look. We'll be in the Green Zone toward the back somewhere. Look for Tied to a Kite Games. No, we don't sell kites.

PDF purchased!

Thanking you...

[norse]

No Hogscape, thank you! Hope the booklet proves useful to you.

Next up, Men of Magic. Which is still very nearly finished (and has been for some time...).

[Mike]

I'm looking forward to lots more!

I picked up both books at the Expo, followed by PDFs when I returned home. Terrific stuff, one of the most engaging and entertaining little games I've seen for a while, brimming with potential.

My group has been on hold for a few weeks (the usual real life disruptions, nothing serious) but we'll be getting together next week and I'm seriously considering giving Job 1: That Scottish Play a go, the alternative being Zombie Cinema which one of the other players bought at the show. I'm nudging them towards the tights and ruffs ;D

I so want to run a Blackadder game using this!

[Mike]

Simon, that is such a cunning plan you could put a tail on it and call it a weasel...

But then we'd be playing WOODLAND WARRIORS!

[Mike]

Any further B&B developments?

[Mike]

Still waiting for more B&B action? :-)

[machfront]

I dig B&B but I'll admit I've held off on purchase of Lulu PODs because I was sorta hoping that books one and two would be combined into one and that there'd be a hardback option.
But, yeah, this time each year for the past two years or so I start thinking about it again (this being the time that the Georgia Renaissance Festival is in full swing).

[Mike]

I see there is a new book to purchase - "Adventure Book 1".

I don't know how this slipped under the RADAR but would the authors care to tell us a little about it?
