Bam ?
Sounds very cool. I can’t wait to check them out
Egypt will be a great setting for TSB, looking forward to that. And Canada 🙂
thanks for the insight on the game
Looking forward to these
Huzzah! I won.
Will have.
I think.
It’s always good to hear from Joe McCullough. His enthusiasm for games is always a great listen.
Egypt sounds like it could be a fun one to build a table for… time to start cutting up some plastic toy crocodiles to be swimming traps. Wonder how much asp-grasping there will be
I Love these drawings. I feel inspiration just fromm watching the videos.
Love hearing from Joe. Love his books. I have the Carpathians suppliment from Salute, and after playing the solo missions in the main book I am ready to take on Castle Fier solo pieces. ?
Amazing game. Keep the expansions coming.
Another enjoyable interview with Joe. Very much looking forward to Canada and Egypt, and seeing those environmental tweaks he mentioned.
looking forward to more on egypt
Good to see the man himself, Joseph McCullough, and to talk a lil about Canada and especially Egypt. Hope you guys play out another game…need more game play. Take care.
I’m definitely going to make some snow boards for Canada. Don’t know much about Canadian folklore so can’t wait for that book.
Very fun game! My british just beat the intro scenario, and can’t wait to get to paint some mummies and fight it out in a pyramid
More interested now it’s expanding, as Nappies is not really my thing. Alt History/Horror (and the creeping dread of CoC/Folk Horror) fits my interests well
Comment to win. again.
Nice to see camelry, keeping Gerry happy.
I’m a simple man
This sounds like a fantastic series of collective books to collect. Can’t wait for Egypt to arrive. What’s next.
Mums the word.
a lot of good things to look forward to
Always enjoy these designer interviews, really good to hear about what’s involved and the directions things can go.
I like that the new supplements have competitive and solo (co-op) campaigns – but as someone who leans towards cooperative games I would like to see the solo/co-op campaigns be a bit longer (5 scenarios for competitive but just 3 for solo).
I love the idea of Napoleon’s campaign in Egypt and the battle of the pyramids actually being a battle to stop Napoleon from opening the pyramids and releasing an ancient evil.
Nice for a deep dive into the books
