Thank for clarifying. A friend of mine has been bugging me to start a Google for over a year.

@JN: 1s and 6s? So, 2/3 of your unmodified rolls would be outliers in Silhouette. I wonder if D10s might have been better...?

Only if you're unskilled. The average character has Skill 2, which means they roll 2d6. Legendary characters have skill 4 or 5...

Bit the bullet, created a Google account, and downloaded the rules.
Nice miniatures. I like the traditional Sword and Sorcery theme.  :-*
I just glanced over the rules for now and there are some very interesting concepts.

Well you didn't need to since I moved the file to DropBox, but its great to hear you have  :)

Thanks for your kind words on the miniatures. I can't afford to fill the book with loads of custom art (though the art internal I have was very kindly donated, and I got mate's rates on the cover as I used to work with the artist!) so I'm using photography instead of illustration.

Once I have a few more miniatures painted I'll do a playtest battle report, and post it here and on the blog.

Cheer

Downloaded. Thank you.

I'll check the rules asap, but tomorrow morning I'll have to travel for a week.

Hope to post some opinions after that.

Waiting to see an AAR, as the rules seem interesting.

Thanks for sharing.
I know you're too old to play with toy soldiers. So give them to me... NOW!

Just updated my blog with some revised rules and a playtest report of sorts. Many thanks for the feedback I've had so far, and keep it coming  :)

Nice AAR.
Very evocative and moody. I was instantly reminded of old Creepy magazine covers.  :-*

Hope you don't mind but I linked a pic.

No problem at all, thanks for your kind words! I'm finishing up on the bases for the subhuman horde by the way, so I'll post a pic here if anyone's interested.

Regards

Defenitly interested :)

I hope to find time too take a look at your rules, but it might take a while  :(
Why aim for gold if you can get lead?

I'm having to stay away from reading them until I have finished my own as I don't want to intentionally use someone else's system.

I know that feeling well! (I've just been commissioned to project manage the writing of a new historicals game, so I think its time to separate my mind into several autonomous shards!)

I'm interested.  :)

Just finished the four bases worth of Mantic Ghouls (to serve as regressed subhuman cannibal types). Here's a shot of one base, and all four can be seen in the Miniatures Gallery section of my blog.

They look even nicer based!  :-*
Fantastic work.

The  "regressed subhuman cannibal types" theme is both in line with R.E Howardian themes as well as Lovecraftian themes.

I must stay focused... I'm doing Post Apoc right now. Must stay focused...
