I’ve been gaming, in one form or another, for as long as I can remember.
The third edition hardback of Call of Cthulhu arrived today! Whoo!
Fantasy Flight Games, makers of many fine games (including the Call of Cthulhu Card Game and the Arkham Horror boardgame), have been milking their Games Workshop licence in the years since they got it. And all power to them, their standard of quality across all the games they produce seems to be consistently high.
Totally forgot to mention that I finally passed the 50k barrier on Desert Of Zin (book one)!
Quality!
(Found a old draft post after the last game of Cthulhu we had, in March! Thought I’d post it anyway…)
So, no Call of Cthulhu adventure last night, but there was one last week.
The adventure – The Madman from the 6th. edition rulebook – was done in one night and almost saw Edgy (Logan Fletcher, investigative journalist) and Enzo (Montague Summers) meeting a rather unfortunate end…
Ages ago (October last year, I think) I wandered in to the Games Workshop in Glasgow and (because I am an unrepentant geek) I bought a single Grey Knight Space Marine Terminator with the idea that it would be fun to paint.
Myself, Guy Incognito and the Charming Manipulator had the first of (hopefully) many enjoyable Call of Cthulhu adventures last Thursday night.
I want to Static Games yesterday afternoon to pick up a few boosters for Call of Cthulhu and picked up a new RPG for the games I’m intending to run.
Recently I’ve had it in mind to dust off some old role-playing books and gather some like minded citizens to have a few games of whatever to help while away an evening.
Booze and snacks would help as well.
As far as card games are concerned, I used to be pretty good at them. And, until recently, this was still the case.
Alas, no more it seems.
On Monday I was around at Fruity’s (an old uni mate, not anything dubious…) in the afternoon and we had a couple of games of the Call Of Cthulhu Collectable Card Game (CCG).
< Shameless Plug> It’s a great game which everyone should play. Go here to find out about it. </ Shameless Plug>
How did I do? I was horsed. Twice.
It was pretty embarrasing.
If you ever play it, a word of advice. Fear Behind The Pallid Mask.
