You are a madman!

Heathen. I shall promptly alert the Swedish Royal Academy of the latest oeuvre of Mr Plynkes. I am sure he'll be the next laureate of the Noble price in literature.

A piece of software called "Comic Life" that was all the rage here on the LAF a few months ago. http://plasq.com/comiclife-win
I may be wrong, but I thought when I got it you only had to pay for the deluxe version. That seems to have changed. Maybe I dreamt it.

Comic Life is almost embarrassingly easy to use. Seems to be designed for idiots to operate, which is just as well. It's all drag-and-drop. It did all the hard work, not me.

The paint program I used to make the crappy special effects (blood, blur, etc.) is just some old thing that came bundled with a PC I bought about 10 years ago. It's called Corel Photo Paint and looks snazzy (it has millions of functions that I have no idea how to work), but as it's so old I'll bet just about every other available similar thing is better, possibly with the exception of MS Paint.

anything with a card named "just poo" is an absolute winner! if the guys from magic the gathering know about this they will make another expansion!

excelent report!

as usual Bwana!

Excellent report and great idea for a game. I trust you will work your way all through the book(and film) to include an encounter with a German cruiser!

I love the idea of poo markers. I may have to steal that idea for a dinosaur game ...

[Poiter50]

That would be some BIG marker!!

Bullshott, I'm afraid I can't run to a 28mm cruiser, but the sequel is in hand, and it does involve one or two of my big boats. It meshes together this and the storyline from one of my earlier games. All outlandish, but inspired by real incidents as well as the book and film.

Can't wait to see it!

Let's get this straight...you throw poo over your shoulder (possibly though not intentionally hitting your opponent ) prior to starting the game?

I'm In!

Oh, and a fabulous report. As usual.

So Damn good!  It was reports like this from across this forum that inspired me to break out of fantasy gaming and try new things last year (i.e. ancients, Old West, etc...)

Thanks for the entertainment,

Bravo!  I really enjoyed your stories and reports on your site as well.  This just adds to the excellent volume of work.  Like others, I really like the "just poo" markers.  Ha ha ha!  Capital idea.  I can't wait for the next round of fun to begin.

Also, I really like your dhow.  Very nicely done!

Thanks, chaps.


Can't take credit for the dhow. Got it from fellow-LAFer Bugsda on eBay.

Great report!  Reminds me how much is need to diversify my collection so I can run adventure games all over the world.
