Nexus Ops....

Splashed out on a copy of the NEXUS OPS boardgame. It came in the mail today, I've had a peek in the box and it looks fantastic!! I'm going to take it down to my local boardgame club next Tuesday to see if anyone fancies a game... I'll let you know how it goes...




There is a print and play redesign version currently available for free download from the link below if anyone is interested??...It looks very nice -  It's been done by the fantastic Kwanchai Moriya who also did print and play redesign versions of WIZWAR, MELEE (both still available) and OGRE (which is unfortunately no longer available as Steve Jackson Games freaked out about it even though the original game is no longer in print...bugger - I missed out on that one!!)

When Alfie met Chad and Chris....



I couldn't make it over to Leeds on Wednesday for the Live recording of the H.P.Lovecraft Literary Podcast - gutted!... I didn't get to catch the live streaming podcast either... so I'm going to have to wait a week or so for the downloadable version to appear on the website.... But Alfie and myself did manage to make it upfrom Sheffield to the Travelling Man comic shop in Leeds this afternoon for Chris and Chad's comic book signing. They've both done adaptations of Lovecraft stories for the new graphic novel from Self Made Hero - "The Lovecraft Anthology volume II"...
It was great to meet the chaps in person, we had a brief chat about their Lovecraftian doings, and they were really sweet to Alfie. Nice guys. If you haven't heard their podcast yet, then you're missing out!!
