Will it be appearing as a hard copy too, or just pdf?  :)

Cheers all.

Arlequin - no immediate plans for a hard copy I'm afraid.

I too was gutted at still feeling too ill to travel to Salute and missing out on all this in the flesh.
Just got my TLS offer pack on Monday so will have to get some paint on them and download this lot soon.

Bought, and for the price of a pint no less.  

I am disgusted that my hands dont feature in any of the shots of the games in progress however.  Fame will have to wait I suppose.

I asked Matt (who was demoing my game) where the Time Lift car on the Mist from Mars table came from but he didnt know.  Can you enlighten me?

Cracking stuff Karl, a fantastic resource for all 7TV lovers. I hope we will see more scenario packs in the future.

A couple of questions on Rogues Gallery:

1. Fiddler Green's unique effect allows him to fire both barrels of his shotgun gaining the Two Shots weapon effect. It then says he can't make a shooting action at all. Does this mean he has to spend a turn reloading?

2. Stanley from the Poplar Front has a UNique Effect of Putting the Boot In which gives him +2 to melee attacks against prone opponents. Is this +2 to the hit roll or the damage roll. He already gets +2 against prone opponents so hits on a 2+ (1 always being a miss), so if it is +2 on the to hit roll it doesn't make any difference.

Thanks for a great game.

Ta!

1. Exactly.

2. It's +2 to To Hit. You normally only get +1 against Prone targets (I think - forgive me I'm doing this from memory). You are right his basic To Hit won't get much better, but if there are other melee modifiers - obstacles, he's Prone etc, then he'll be able to cancel those out.

Thanks Karl. You are correct, of course, it is +1 against prone. I was taking the Unique Effect as in addition to the +1 instead of replacing it. Makes more sense now. Mind you the thought of one prone figure putting the boot into another prone figure does conjure shades of Monty Python  lol

Any thoughts on releasing the For Your Dice Only or On Her Majesty's Crooked Service material as a PDF?
