Friday night I ran a play test of one of my GASLIGHT games for Historicon in July. In the continuing saga of Duke Morrison and his buddies trying to thwart the nefarious machinations of the Venusian invasion force advanced guard, the scenario featured another ruckus in Granville, IL. In previous scenarios, we’ve learned that Professor [...]

A couple of weeks ago, I posted an article about how I’m building a Victorian-era version of the modern Marvel Avengers. At the suggestion of some folks on line, I purchased the Malifaux Seamus Avatar to be the Victorian version of The Hulk. I think he came out quite well. I also completed this Plasticville [...]

I purchased the Eureka bear-o-planes a couple of years ago. They languished in my project box until Chris sold his to Todd who decided to use them with Jamie Davis’ famous Future Race rules. If you haven’t played Future Race, you’re missing out on one of the great gaming experiences. Jamie, a huge Star Wars [...]

I saw these on line some time back and commented that I’d like to get my hands on a set. To my surprise the person who commissioned these figures found me at Cold Wars and handed me a set. I couldn’t wait to get them painted. To my embarrassment, I can’t remember my benefactor’s name, [...]

I have been looking for the Plasticville gas station for my Pulp town of Granville. It turns out that in O scale, Bachman doesn’t make it any more. On Ebay, the price was crazy, because people are selling it for collectors in boxes, etc. It turns out that two things make the gas station collectable: [...]

If you’ve seen the recent Marvel movies, such as Iron Man, Captain America, and the Avengers, you’re familiar with the adaptation of these comics for the “big screen.” I found the three figures above at Cold Wars and thought about putting together a group of “Avengers” for Victorian science fiction games. These figures are imported [...]

This weekend, Chris, Duncan, and I got together to inventory the various donations we’ve received. This project, begun with figures from the estate of Wally Simon, is designed to get unused figures into the hands of younger gamers to help grow the hobby. Since the first iteration, we’ve had many folks donate figures to us. [...]

My buddy Sam Fuson found these figures on the Victory Force Miniatures Web page. He is painting them up for a GASLIGHT game. I couldn’t resist getting a set myself. These are The Scarecrow as a sniper, Dorothy and Toto (Toto has a grenade in his mouth), The Lion, and the Tin Man. These will [...]

Friday night at the HAWKs meeting, Greg ran a first game with Muskets and Tomahawks, which he bought at Cold Wars. It was a good excuse to get my Old Glory 28mm FIW figure son the table again. We were all fumbling through the rules, because it was the first time we had played them. [...]
