...and Let Slip the Dogs of War

Just a quick question to the community out there, how many of you are familiar with the 1981 Cry Havoc board game by Standard Games? And what are your thoughts on it?

A Post for Posting's Sake

My life's been a whirlwind lately, so I haven't had much time (or energy) to put into gaming related things. I was just putting some finishing touches on the map for Barrowmaze 1, and thought I'd give you all a quick tally of how much work I've put in, and have been assigned to, for the Barrowmaze 2 project:

OSR Blue Map: Doing BM1 and 2, as well as one big map
Monster Entry Illustrations: 18 (I think)
General Illustrations: 2 so far
Magic Item Illustrations: 6
Certificate Illustration: 1
Illustrations for Booklet: 5 assigned so far

That's all for now!

Pendragon Pilgrimage

Haven't been posting lately because things have been a bit hectic in my life lately. I'm currently in Winnipeg where I made my semi-annual pilgrimage to Pendragon Games. The thing I like the most about Pendragon is their stock of used gaming books. I was tempted to buy the AD&D players handbook and monster manual with their original covers, but decided to go with just the Greyhawk Adventures book. It was the only AD&D hardcover book missing from my collection. The downside of their stock on out-of-print stuff is that it is a bit over-priced. I was going to buy a copy of the Temple of Elemental Evil, but it was $60. They also had a copy of GW's original Talisman game (which I saw there two years ago) with a $100 price tag that hasn't changed. Oh well.

I also walked away with a bunch of Reaper Miniatures, I bought an almost complete set of the Townsfolk range. I wish civilians and non-combatants were a bit more common to find, Citadel back in the day had a nice collection for a while — until they want all "Games Workshop."

Personally, I'd love to see Otherworld produce a line of civilians and hirelings.
