Grimm---Your cards are beautiful! I love the work you put into presenting the game; from board to Encounter cards. If only I could hire you to do my marketing for me full time. :)
-
Excellent as always, and a game scenario I've wanted to play for some time. I can't wait to see how this pans out.
I can't see anything I would add or change, looks nice.
-
wow that is really great. the type of game i'd love to play!
-
Where can I sign in for a game? I'd like to play Val Kilmer. ;)
Absolutely fabulous, and how cool to share it from the very beginnings. Many thanks. :)

Tsavo lions are maneless. They look like lionesses. Shocklingly poor research there, sir.

Wonderful scenario Grimm, very nice presentation. Now we need to see the game in progress with some lovely photos :) ;D
-
Great stuff Grimm. Looks like a great scenario to play.
By the way - are the lions realy lions? The reason I ask is that I seem to remember an old Tarzan film years ago where some natives we dressing up in big cat skins complete with the claws to attack intruders into their domain.
Needless to say the lord of the jungle sorted them out!

Many times, what do you want to know?

Grimm asked: "Did some one see the original lions in the Field Museum of Natural History in Chicago, Illinois ?"
I've seen the Field museum taxidermy, interesting, but not as impressive as is that photo.
Also been through Tsavo twice, hitch-hiking to and from Nairobi/Mombasa.
I believe that the 'maneless' Tsavo lions have been completely wiped out.

no words to say ! ;D
Excellent job. I like the cards (that's what i want to do for along time). lol
-
Many times, what do you want to know?
are they realy so small as they look at that picture ?
(http://www.bluelion.org/images/tsavo4sm.JPG)
the dead one from the picture looks much bigger .
@chicklewis
how was it to make yure own safari ?
@Luthaaren Von Tegale
did you know the name of that tarzan movie ?

Grimm, it was great to be loose in Africa as a vagabond in '75. If anyone is interested, my African travel stories are posted on the Miskatonic University website here:
http://miskatonic.net/research/lewis/
Hit the 'darkest africa' button on the left, and choose chapter 8 to read about a self-organized safari in Kenya and Tanzania.
Regarding the smaller appearance of the field museum taxidermy lions, I read that the hides of the Tsavo Killers had shrunk as they were cured, therefore since the taxidermist used the actual hides for the display lions, they were necessarily smaller and skinnier than the lions had been in life. So believe the photo of the dead lion, and ignore the photo of the display in the Field museum.

Thanks Grimm!
-
According to the curators at the Field Museum, the skins had at one time been trimmed and turned into rugs.
-
That looks like quite the lovely game. "The Ghost and the Darkness" is one of my favorites movies of the period. I always thought the story would make a great game scenario.
-
Terrific preparation for the game, Grimm. Knowing your painting and modelling skills, i'm sure the game itself will be of similarly high standard.
This is an ideal LAF project :D
Where can I sign in for a game? I'd like to play Val Kilmer. ;)

I wouldn't have minded playing Val when he was married to Joanne Whalley :-*
lol
-
Bit of an aside but the image of the big game hunter by the train in the LAF header image - isn't that from this story?
That image looks more like Henry Morton Stanley to me. ???
-
Aye, not much gets past our Malamute.

Caption reads: The finding of Dr. Livingstone: Mr. Stanley and his retinue in Africa.

Oh I like the sort of pictures but they are so hard to find in the net .

It's rather annoying that the books by the explorers themselves were crammed full of such pictures, but in the modern paperback editions they always leave them out. I have some by Samuel Baker that are supposed to contain such delights as drawings of battles with Bari tribesmen, the Baganda and such, but alas my copies do not have the pictures. :(

@Luthaaren Von Tegale
did you know the name of that tarzan movie ?
Sorry Grimm, it was a long time ago, early '80's on TV in school summer holidays. It was one of the classic black & white ones.

-
the movie sounds like ,Tarzan and the leapard woman.
-
Great job again Grimm! Your work always inspires me! I hope to someday get to
participate in one of your games! :D
