Title: Just Checking In
Post by: Doug ex-em4 on May 28, 2008, 12:09:33 PM

I came over here following a link of Malamute's. I'd been asking on TMP about GW's old Mighty Fortress - I wanted to see pics of what people had done with them. So, I got to see Malamute's fabulous use of the MF and I also found this forum which is spectacular.

I'm interested in forums like this because I'm in this for a business and I like to see what people are talking about but, equally important, I'm a gamer. Near Future, Fantasy, Medieval, Wild West and WW2 skirmish are what I've done mostly in recent times as well as writing our Gladiator rules (by the time I'd done the second set, I'd lost all interest in gladiators) but I'm fascinated by just about all the various genres. Even if I haven't played pulp or VSF etc, I love the pics. I'm also keen to take another look at Colonial. Many years ago (many, many years..!), I played colonial skirmish using the rules of Steve Curtis and Mike Blake. The complexity was off-putting but they were ground-breaking rules and we had many a good game with Zulus and Boers. I suspect current rules would suit me better.....

Anyway, I'm starting to reminisce so I'll just say "Hello" to all and go back and read some more boards - eagerly..!

Hello Doug and welcome on board :)
Steve Curtis's Colonial skirmish rules,- thats a blast from the past. I still have a much treasured set somewhere at home.
I also enjoy your Combat Zone Chronicles, I have got a lot of inspiration from there with my Future Was games.

Welcome Doug - you are a mainstay for me  :D
I buy your solid metal dice - they always roll well for me, especially the gold ones  ;)
In fact, they are so good, I bought some and gave them to many of my gaming friends. So much more satisfying rolling a weighty solid metal dice than a plastic one!
You also keep me supplied from time to time with Mr Copplestone's early work - both Future Wars and Barbarians etc.
You also supplied me incredibly quickly via a web order with some Dunwich Detective Cthulhu lifeforms when I needed some in a hurry for the last season of the LAF Lead Painters League!
So I can sincerely recommend your speedy service.

You should find plenty of happy customers here, because a lot of what you carry in your business plays very well to many of the interests of people on this forum.
Good luck.
