Would you lot *stop* dangling BotWars in front if me! I don;t need this sort of temptation….

If you’re giving away Fortune and Glory… does that make Indiana Jones the Indy of the Week?
I see what you did there…

Those Galactic Marines would be great for some Starship Troopers arachnid hunting.

Lloyd how very dare you want to remake TRON ????

Maybe Bollywood should do it 🙂
good video as always
Be square or be ridiculed ?
Great stuff OTT.
Interested in Bot Wars for a while, just never jumped onboard.
Played “Fortune and Glory” before, great game, and I’m a fan of the Frogs (shadows is a game I like – though waiting (several years) for the 1920’s CoC adjacent variant). A copy for the game shelf wouldn’t hurt.

See, like a tasty breakfast, the waffle underneath makes everything on top better!

I was intrigued by Gerry’s original video on Fortune and Glory. So much so that I added it to my wish list for further investigation.

Normally, I’d take this as a sign from the Gods of Wallet Protection that I shouldn’t persevere and save my cash, but damn it, I was enjoying it so much that I kept going back to finish the episode. I’m so glad that I did, and I heartily recommend that everyone watch… Read more »
Loving Dungeon Saga but have to say Fortune & Glory looks fun

I think it perfectly shows you don’t need to spend a fortune for a one off bit of terrain to still have a great looking game.
Infinity, Shatterpoint and Bot War!! Too much awesome not enough cash.
