up late. have a great sunday
It’s the XLBS SHow……Happy Sunday CoGs……….. and now the very first song/video ever played on MTV is forever corrupted. (I’ve always loved that song…….must scrub the images from my mind) Nice job @artemis5150 your ‘Marvel: Crisis Protocol’ minis are fantastic. They make me really want to get back to my Crisis Protocol minis and get paint on them. But I’m waiting on @avernos to share his secrets of using INKS in painting minis, I believe a future Gerry Can video? @lloyd I really enjoyed the ghost story…..Well Done! This week’s episode had a Whale of an ending! 🙂 I’m looking… Read more »
Watching the intro video I honestly thought Hitler sung “In my mind and in Mein Kampf, we can’t re-wind we’ve gone too far…”.
Warren seems like he’ll burst if he doesn’t get his hobby out, and after seeing what happened on the beach, you’d better just give him his hobby time!
That would be history and CCTV getting flushed down the pan.
Happy Sunday!!
Am I allowed to admit that I don’t think I’ve ever played HeroQuest – and don’t intend to?
Morning CoGs! Happy Sunday. So since recording, I’ve put some work into this idea of bringing dreadball rules into the core mechanics of HeroQuest. And it’s actually really effective. Heck I sat the kids down to explain MOVE, SPRINT, DASH and FATE DICE. And within about 15mins or so they had really started to grasp the concepts of the push your luck mechanics and the importance of modifiers etc. It immediately lifted the dynamics of the game as I hoped, along with the excitement potential and heroic moments, etc – Still early days though so we will see. NOW The… Read more »
Totally agreed with you regarding the ‘unfun’ parts of Heroquest. I have no doubt what you’re suggesting would be more fun. I always like D10, primarily because of the greater range than D6.
Another way of approaching this would be to tie it into Advanced Heroquest. It would be nice to see you able to take beginners from the basic game and be able to port them into the Advanced Game.
Going to be following this Heroquest project with interest. Love the game!
Love Dreadball too… look forward to seeing where you go with it
Now that’s a unusual start to the XLBS Guy’s
I want to play your Dreadball movement Heroquest. I absolutely adore that game.
The building’s butt @warzan
Have you guy’s seen blinkys moving turret.
Theirs one in Amsterdam an they find some bike’s and a workbench amongst other things.
It’s Babylon 5 Spooman?
Would you like some spoo? It’s fresh.”
“Fah! Get that away from me. Spoo needs to age. It takes time to cultivate its flavour. To eat fresh spoo is to insult a Centauri.
Ah, B5 such good stuff.
And it was powered by the mighty Amiga!
If Hollywood is obsessed with remaking series I’d love to see B5 get current SFX. But alas I would not want different actors.
Funny my Amiga never ran graphics like that, then again it took them week’s for each section of the program.
The pilot episode was done using a bank of amigas. They used PC’s for the rest of the episodes
Happy Sunday Cogs. Really enjoyed the Heroquest project SO many happy memories, Space Crusade next. Great golden buttons well done everyone.
The outpost Film?
It’s the deathwatch film I was thinking of.
But theirs a series/film called Outpost I’ve not seen yet set in Afghanistan just out.
Amazing story of the man with the large member….. I think he in the history books was called “Wan King”…
The bloob guy from star trek Orville.?
Gerry is spending way to much time on 9gag/youtube! XD
nothing to do with me mate
The Orlando bloom zone!
What about slots on weapons to boost actions @warzan
On the magnet fishers: @lloyd are you curating my youtube recommendations? First you show X-Bomber/Star Fleet and now the magnet fishers? YOU SCARE ME LLOYD!
Lol a great show guy’s with a funny ending.

@lloyd “let’s take SAGA for example”
@brennon *visibly dying inside*

So, maybe an official HQ re-release?
they released the countdown about 3 hours after we’d finished filming, almost like they knew what they were up to
Awesome show! That whale story was awesome! Love your heirloom idea @warzan
