The blunderbuss is a beast all right, and he'll be a marked man next game! The harlots are always a delight, and I only wish there was some magic button that would convert them to 1:1 scale ;-) - or perhaps me to 28mm scale a-la "Beetlejuice"! ;-)Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-25872932347164943692014-03-02T23:19:27.812+13:002014-03-02T23:19:27.812+13:00Thanks John.

The addition of Fame and Fortune (or Might, Will and Fate) would seal the deal but maybe the EotD authors didn't add that as it would have been seen very much as a copy? But I think it make sense to add these effects in... we'll give it a whirl next game...Scottswargaminghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00581220877007982139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33886045.post-3487284462961145652014-03-02T22:23:53.439+13:002014-03-02T22:23:53.439+13:00A fast paced, witty narrative, lovely terrain and ...A fast paced, witty narrative, lovely terrain and figs, pirates and wenches...can it get any better than this.
