Prepping Fantasy Quest for UK Games Expo
Some peeps accused me of being camera shy so I thought I’d better come out of the closet… Wondering how it will go at the Expo tomorrow: With the missus lending her support: See you there, folks! ND
Mage Knight City Reference Cards
Based on Paul Grogan’s original designs the following cards have all the city information on them that you should need for reference:
This amazing Fantasy Quest T-shirt could be yours!
All you have to do is ask me “Where did you get those cool T shirts?” at the UK Games Expo! See, the only thing I own right now is the name, so that’s why you get the incredibly stark, instantly recognisable – ‘artless’ you might say – branding. Game/wine/table/etc not included… We only have one spare, so make sure you act fast. 🙂
Fantasy Quest Angry Strangers!
If you piss off enough people in Gloom of Kilforth: the Fantasy Quest Game, experience has proven that it can sometimes be hard to keep track of who is still mad at you! So you can use these helpful tokens to keep track of your personal grudges. Each player takes a couple of ‘Angry Stranger’ tokens of the same colour at the start of the game. If negotiations with a Stranger don’t go so well (i.e. you get zero successes – it happens) simply pop a token onto the irate Stranger to show that he is now your Enemy. Remember... View Article
Brand, Son Of Ugly

Lost in The Long Dark
From the FFG article here: http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/edge_news.asp?eidn=3244 The passage twisted round a few turns, and then began to descend… In the pale ray of the wizard’s staff, Frodo caught glimpses of stairs and arches, and of other passages and tunnels, sloping up, or running steeply down, or opening blankly dark on either side. It was bewildering beyond hope of remembering. –The Fellowship of the Ring, “A Journey in the Dark” After surviving a desperate struggle with The Watcher in the Water, the heroes of Middle-earth pass at last through the Doors of Durin and into the ancient mines of Moria. Within those... View Article
Losing video games – not nearly as heartbreaking as losing board games…
Losing video games – not nearly as heartbreaking as losing board games…After nearly shedding tears over letting some old classic board games go, I don’t have anywhere near the same emotion about letting played PS3 games go. There are very few movies which I revisit after watching and almost no video games that I replay after completing. Even if it’s an RPG with multiple paths to victory or a narrative game with a raft of alternate endings, once I finish a game, I tend to also be finished with that game. So I rarely benefit from additional Downloadable Content, and usually... View Article
Our very final adventures in Dragonfire Castle.
Our very final adventures in Dragonfire Castle. Before my great 2012 clearout I dusted off DungeonQuest for some final adventures into Dragonfire Castle before calling it a day on this old classic. Even as a kid, back in the day I always felt there was something missing from DungeonQuest. It was fun for a quick blast of mostly comedy gaming but meatier dungeon crawl games soon took over and DQ began to gather a thick layer of dust. I was lucky enough to pick up the Heroes expansion but never managed to track down Catacombs, which looked like the most... View Article
