Howdy all,

This is my first post. I recently stumbled across the page a couple of weeks ago. It looks very nice!

I also recently stumbled across Chaos In Carpathia and Gothic Horror games. A club member ran a scenario (vampires vs. Monster Hunters) and the rules were so much fun I ran out and purchased a ridiculous amount of lead and resin buildings. . . Up to this point my whole wargaming career has been Games workshop and then WWII.

I will share our club's AAR with you and I look forward to reading more cool stuff on this site.

Cheers,

Is that Dave MacRae of "The Baggage Train" fame who GM'd? If so, he's a great guy. The game looked fantastic!

It is indeed Dave McRae. I agree about his greatness!

Nice little castle, there. Scratch-built?

Ah, yes.... quite pricy that thing....

Stunning work on your castle there, though. Did you use some pre-fab parts or build all from scratch?

Oh, you old show-off! :

Seriously, that's a wonderful castle :love:

Do I recognize a converted castle made by a certain gaming giant?

I'm glad you posted the URL!

Yes, I can't help but show off, I just love the adulation :

Yes the core model was a certain GW Mighty Fortress :wink:
However it was messed about with alot, with various conversions and added bits and pieces

Matt, I just wanted to say how sorry I was to hear about David. I actually saw him setting up his booth on Thursday night, but decided I'd let him get on with it and say hi Friday morning.

Cool castle MAXIMUS!

I have 1.5 mighty fortresses in a box at home that I was wondering if I should sell or not...NOT!

Did you use more than 1 keep to build your model?

Yours looks so different I was wondering if the BASE fortress was a different version than I have.

My parapet stones dont angle in, and dont have the arched supports under them...or did you model all that?

great report!! Ihave been dying to play the game but have not found anyone to play yet so it was interesting to see how things played out. If anyone knows of any others let me know please!
THANKS

I noticed the title of this post, but I dont see anything about the famed book

Anyhoo, I just ran an adventure about the Nekros-Nomos-Eikon myself.

Welcome to the site!

My wife works in an antique bookstore, and hardly a week goes by when some serious looking goth kid comes in and asks for the Necronomicon. Its become quite a joke at the store.
