Craig is a genius!

I just want to say hallo to craig and averyone else here.
I was pointed this way by my dad who told me to say hallo and thank you for that wonderful book that you did.
I picked up a copy of IHNM at a charity shop for a pound and i think it is the best pound i have ever spent.
I have had hours of fun writing lists and adding them all up and making up companys and everything.
A friend of mine said that he found your blog on the internets and told me this was the proper place to talk to you as this is the ofishal forum for IHNM.
Thank you craig.

You are very kind young Avidfan   Btw it was written by Charles as well, and he's the real genius.
I hope that you enjoy playing the game. Have you been to the blog yet? There's lots of more free material there http://inhermajestysname.wordpress.com/

So now IHMN is in charity shops eh? It looks like our 15 minutes of fame is well and truly over

That was simply mistaken by some mislead mom who cleansweapt some youngsters room and thought it to be a graphic novel. I am sure.

Without wanting to perturb anyone, 'avid fan' was the sign off used in the original Red Dragon novel when Francis Dollarhyde (a serial killer) sent a secret message to Hannibal Lector (a serial killer).

Nope, somebody bought the book/rules, decided it wasn't what they wanted/thought it was, and was too embarrassed/lazy/uninformed to know that there was a forum/group (Yahoo or other)/EBay list to sell it on.

You can find all kinds of good/great literature/games/clothing accessories/appliances among the dross.  Granted Sturgeon's Law‎ ("ninety percent of everything is crap") applies but it is the 10% you search for...

Gracias,

@craig: thank you for the reply, it is nice to know that you have time for your fans.
I can not find charles on here to thank him.
Can you thank him for me.
I have asked in the shop and they dont remember who gave it in.
I wanted to know if they had anymore for my friends because it is a really good book.

@Michi: You are correct.
I did think it was a comic or some thing at first because of the pictures of the toy soldiers in it.

@silent Invaded: I do not now what this means. sorry.

@graciasglenn:this book is not crap it is brilliant.

I do have one more question: i have seen all these toy soldiers in the book and now i see them on here and dont know where to get them from.
sorry if it tells you in the book but i must have missed that bit.
Where do you get your soldiers from craig?

The official miniatures can be bought online from Northstar Miniatures but you can actually use the miniatures you want to use. I have added a link to the IHMN miniatures section of Northstar: http://www.northstarfigures.com/list.php?man=148&cat=358&page=1 Depending on your budget you can easily source cheaper miniatures to play your games and create companies.

I think he meant that he didnīt get that you are deeply admiring what Crig&Charles did and therefore chose your alias "avidfan".

Don't worry avidfan, I'm not suggesting that you (or Craig) are serial killers (heaven forbid!), it just amused me that you shared a moniker with a character from fiction who sent coded messages.  Anyways.... Enough of my meandering and back on topic....

Right, we are just a little push away from getting him into gaming!

I don't see them as fans, just fellow gamers who seem to like Charles' and my scribbles   I'll pass your thanks on to Charles for you.
I am lucky enough to have had a few free figures from Northstar. But you can get very good Victorian Science Fiction figures from a wide range of manufacturers including: Wargames Foundry, Parroom Station, Lead Adventure Miniatures and many more.

Thank yopu craig and others .
I did not think that you had to paint soldiers i thought that you could just make a list and discuss it.
This is all new to me but the people who paint soldiers must have more fun than the ones that dont.

I think i will look at some of the soldiers that you recomend.
@Belgian: Thank you for that link.
The toy soldiers seem very expensive on it, much more than in a normal toy shop.

Craig; I cant find any of your toy soldiers, or are the ones on the blog painted by you?

I dont know what all this serial killer thing is about.
I am not a serail killer.

No, they are painted by a nice chap called Kev Dallimore

If you read that in my comment, then either I failed to communicate or you failed to understand.  To clarify, IHMN is in the 10%.
