A good time was had by many I think :)

We ran through some demo's and then started adding in some participation games once we'd got past the initial rush through the doors. Osprey managed to get some books in so we were able to direct a lot of people to where they were being sold (I say direct, as we weren't given an area plan it was more of a vague gesture in the right direction). If every person who asked me where they could buy it found the stand, a lot of books were bought.
So many projects..... so little time.......

Not complaining, sir, looking forward to it.
Just shocking myself at adding a whole new thing to 'the list'.

I shouldnt be surprised at this one, though.
It is not as if it appeared out of nowhere, is it?

I think the books and sets that were available at Salute were a sort of pre-release offer, so I think that the answer to that is: Not yet.

I got my first set of pre-order items from Brigade Games today. AMAZING MODELS! I got Lord Curr and the "free" figures so far. Of all I'm espically loving the Master Criminal and Mohan. Except I think my Fagin is missing an arm and I got two of the sgt. models from Lord Curr insted of one of the models. I contacted Nick about it, so we'll see. Anyways about it, I'm even more excited for the Scotland Yard set and espically the rules. I might even end up buying more of the faction boxes just because of how nice these models are.

The odd thing about the Sergeant figure in Lord Curr's Co. is that when Charles and I first saw it we thought it was perfect for Sgt Borrage of the Prince of Wales Extraordinary Company. The figure looks like he stepped straight out of Kipling's Barrack Room Ballads.

Onto other figures - the Yeti. I'm thinking that if I modelled the ragged remnants of trousers and shirt (Hulk-style) onto it I could use if for Mr Hyde.  Anyone fancy a completely unofficial League of Extraordinary Gentleman list?

A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen list certainly gets my vote, :-)

Just finished reading this thread and had to order the book. It really sounds like a great game from whats being said here. Now I just hope I can convince my club mates to give it a try as well ;)

A League of Extraordinary Gentlemen list would be very nice :D

Rules, Lord Curr and the Yard arrived at work today. The figures look great.

I did a quick read of the core rules at lunch and must say: "Well done, Gentlemen" Everything is sensible, succinct and layed out very nicely. I'm looking forward to this evening's reading.

I'm hoping that Northstar will consider selling certain character figures from the starter sets individually, or at least in smaller sets.

I have a plan for Curr and the Yeti..  ;)

Why thank you young chap. Here's hoping you don't spot any of the 'deliberate' mistakes  ::)
