Lovely photos. It looked like a great game. But tell me, where could someone pick up those fine Red Planet Miniatures' martian figures and skiffs and the Oshiro warehouse and pumphouse buildings that seem perfect for VSF, EotD and gothic horror?  ;)

(I do know, by the way just incase people were thinking 'but the idiot's already said where to get them in his own question!'.)

I can point all to the figs and buildings, since the entrepreneurs seem to have dropped the hint.

@Malamute I'd encourage you to expand your observations on Sharp Practice in the Rules sticky; however, when you say, ' lots of changes...' I consider that a major cautionary note. You made Gothic Horror: Vampire Wars work!  :o

Actually, anyone knowledgeable who wanted to start a general survey of rule sets there, given the explosion of new items, would earn my gratitude.

SP fits more with the way we like to play games. The last few times we played Gaslight the turns were taking far too long. We were finding the games too slow.

Also, humans have (very slightly) more chance of repelling a close combat attack with our variant of SP then with our variant of GASLIGHT :)

Wonderful game – it was so nice to see the end product after watching it grow and mature over the past few months through the camera lens of its proud father, Mr Bibbly. :-*

It was also nice to meet the luck people playing across the table, Malamute and Bullshott – (thanks for the jelly baby) – well played gentleman.

So you are real 3D people and look nothing like your 2D avatars! lol

The Mars back drop was an excellent idea and was constantly in demand, as so many people were eager to take away their own photographic memories of a great piece of war game art.

Top that Mr Bibbly – challenge - roll on next Salute. :D

I would also love to know more about the changes you made to Sharp Practice. Any chance you could shed some light on them?

James, SMASHING! Just smashing! Looks like you guys had a blast, especially that martian skiff with the 2 fire damage tokens on it.  :D

Great looking game.  :D

It was certainly getting plenty of attention on the day.
