Demo well received!
« on: 28 May 2011, 08:45:41 PM »
Did 15 BP participation demo at club today.

Retrieve the artifacts.

3 games played with each 2 newcomers.

Went really well - especially one of the first participants seemed really interested.

Plans for the day went down the drains because of a leaking petrol-tank on a car (not mine), so I was on my own for the first couple of hours, otherwise SA and Fear and Faith would have been played side-by-side, but now the F&F table did not get set up, and after the 3 SA games, a single game F&F was played on the same table - otherwise SA might have been played a couple of times more.

And I forgot to bring my camera  >:(  ::)

Nice afternoon though - it surprised me to se 5-6 girls/young women there, some of which actually wargamed.

Sounds good.

I really like this scenario, especially with ghouls  8)

One of my cultists got dropped on the table during the first game, leaving a bare spot of metal on his forehead   :'(

Guess that is the nemesis of glueing a metal miniature to the top of a slotta instead ofa washer, making the model 'top-heavy'.... He wil be removed from that slotta before being mended.  >:D

Been asked a lot of questions by a bunch of gamers from the club in Svendborg, resulting in me posting this thread:

http://www.skjold-live.dk/forum/viewtopic.php?f=15&t=968&p=5560#p5560

It's in Danish, but I would expect at least one copy of the rules to go in that direction very soonish  :D

This is awesome! I do not speak danish but i think I can understand most of it.
I've done something simmilar for my gaming group here in germany and I stated the same things as you :)

Some more companies I could suggest:
Black Cat Bases (Deep Ones, Cultists and other cool Stuff)
Reaper (some very nice Cthulhu like cultists and myth creatures)
Dixxon Miniatures (Gangsters)
Blue Moon manufacturing
Hasslefree Miniatures (very Nice undeads and civilians)
Dungeons and Dragons "large Chaos Beast" (look on ebay for it, its a fantastic alternative Shoggoth)

Greetings!

Thanks! Yes, of course - I also own some plastic prepaints - they actually work quite nicely when based.

I'll add these - and more over time when I stumble over stuff...

Alledgedly, 4 persons are going to dabble in eldritch horror. Not bad for an afternoon - and more will probably follow, when games are seen being played.
