Why the angry face? A board game of IHMN would be pretty damn cool imho, perhaps a bit like "Fortune & Glory" but VSF rather than Pulp. Send a copy to Wil Wheaton (yes, the actor) and see if he features it on Tabletop, his online/Youtube gaming show.

If I were a fish, it would look a lot like a hook.

My mate thought board game - I thought campaign.

Either way the worm on the hook is working.

I am such a tease... it's a boardgame created by a very good friend of mine. But it could easily be used for campaigns...

No fear, I was pretending to be one of those callow fellows who fear expansion automatically means watering down. I'm not sold on the game, but VERY intrigued by campaign possibilities!

Could provide the campaign background for the battles to then be fought out on the tabletop.

I suspect Craig's 'I'm such a tease...' means we'll be pulling details out out of him, one by one, for MONTHS...

Now at first glance that looks like a pleasing blend between 'The Fury of Dracula' and 'Kingmaker'. Most intriguing.
'Sir John ejaculated explosively, sitting up in his chair.' ... 'The Black Gang'.

I hope it's not exactly like Kingmaker; I've had the game for about three years and still don't get how to play it.

I believe that the author of this fine diversion, known hereabouts as Maldred, may be along soon to answer people's questions  :D
