The Facebook of Evil - Doctor Who Miniatures Game - PICs ADDED
« on: September 18, 2009, 10:55:02 PM »
Just a quick plug for the new DWMG Facebook Group - aimed at servicing all your tabletop Doctor Who based needs.

http://www.facebook.com/group.php?gid=138178571446

For those not familiar with DWMG - it's a free ruleset based on the classic BBC series. A 64 page rulebook, scenarios (both classic and new Who) can all be found here:

Here's a couple of pics from my UNIT vs Sea Devil game to whet your appetites:





The full gallery is here:

And you can all my Doctor Who Miniatures here, if you follow the Album menu on the left:

Great stuff Uti.  I've been ogling the oil rig for some time.  :-*

I can highly recommend the DWMG rules.  A club member is heavily into it and has also run participation games at shows.  They very nicely capture the feel of a Dr Who episode with a great sense of fun.

I wasn't wandering the streets. I was merely contemplating certain local cartographic anomalies

Cheers Guys!

The Oil Rig was a comission built by Darren Couch of Black Knight Studios http://black-knight-studios.co.uk/

It started off as couple of the modular buildings on top and then went from there.

I'd like to use it in a DWMG participation game if anyone is interested!

DWMG is my second-favorite set of skirmish rules ever, yes.

I'm a big Doctor Who fan. Used to catch the show on PBS (Public Broadcasting Station) late at night... about a year or two after they came out in the UK.

I think I'm too stuck in zombies and PA gaming to make a switch now.

But that oil rig and the professional look to the rules and the miniatures and the love of the genre MIGHT force me over.

That and a life-sized living & breathing clone of Rose.... sigh....  :-*
Never underestimate the power of human stupidity.

Grimm - I'd love to come! It would be a great chance to meet you and maybe some of the other LAFers :)

However, I'm not sure how easy it would be to transport the rig all that way though?

I'll speak to creator Graeme Dawson and see what he thinks, as we are considering taking DWMG to some shows, but budgets are a bit tight at the mo, so it may make it difficult.

What do you think? Is there much Who interest in Europe?
