It’s the XLBS Show…………Happy Sunday Fellow CoGs! . Now now…… If you take the Hobbit Trilogy as a stand-alone, (not comparing it to the book), it’s pretty good! You can all hate on me if you want, but I preferred the Hobbit Trilogy over the Lord of the Ring Trilogy. LotR is just too dark and depressing. The Hobbit Trilogy is a little brighter as they are trying to repatriate the Dwarves to their homeland. . NOPE…..@avernos the worst TV adaptation of a book series was the abysmal attempt to bring ‘The Dresden Files’ to the small screen. I threw… Read more »
Here you go mate I found a couple of them 🙂

Happy Sunday to All!
I never played D&D. Seriously. I’m playing pen&paper RPGs since 1986, and nowadays a almost exclusively play and gamemaster our very own stories within a very narrative ‘rule’set we stole from the Demonhunter RPG and tweaked a bit to our liking, and we either play in settings of our own making, or in settings from media we like with our own characters. But back in the days, we played published RPGs like Star Wars from WEG, Ghostbusters from WEG, Rolemaster from ICE, Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay from GW, Cyberpunk from Richard Talsorian Games, Call of Cthulhu from Chaosium, Paranoia from WEG,… Read more »
Good to hear Michael Caine is reprising his role of Elfie in the new Lord of the Rings series @fcostin You’ve realised don’t like building stuff? Enjoy the calm and serenity that will envelop you now that truth has been revealed to you @brennon Lovely 10mm work. I would suggest 2ps then you can differing number of figures on bases denoting what they are more easily Pendraken do some nice bulk buys for bases https://www.pendraken.co.uk/bulk-deals-846-c.asp Our group played in our own made up world for about 20 odd years with each regular player having there own country they would frun… Read more »
Here’s how the LotR-show is going to play out: It will show, get seen, then people will excrete loads of reaction-videos and talk-abouts into the digital ether like anyone would care, they will either love it or hate hate it, basically none in-between, and then people will scream at each other continuously and the argument will quickly be impregnated with idiotic political ideologies from each and every side, and I will be hoping that all these inane bozos would die already.
Those animal adventurers Free is painting up are cool!
Happy Sunday all. Great work on the 10mm Ben. I’m even more tempted now to start my own collection. Really like the blue scheme. I use MDF for my small scale as I like that lip and I find they sit better. I also cut them myself so it is cheaper. I do love the smaller scales. Justin’s D&D group art is cracking and a great idea so glad it turned out well. I’m looking forward to hearing more about a war party of arm breaking murder geese, maybe in a future expansion of Root. Looking forward to a fantasy… Read more »
Happy Sunday… My longest running DnD campaign has been running about 3 years 10 months and is still going.
If with your best efforts to kill us off…….
Happy Sunday!
Wow, some inspiring buttons this week.
I presume @brennon that you would have caught up with the news that the production of the Lord of the Rings series is leaving New Zealand’s shores. The sets will be shipped over, hope the Space Cowboy has his own fleet of ships, otherwise good luck with that at the moment. Post production finishes up in June of next year and that will likely be the end of NZ’s involvement, unless they get more scenery shots, including for green screen or Volume type work. The NZ cast and crew learnt about this when the press release hit the US media… Read more »
I read about it in passing. I presumed it meant production was moving to the UK to make use of the giant sound stages at Ealing and Pinewood as all the outside work in NZ had been completed
Part of the reason was the British members of the cast and crew hadn’t see their family and friends in person for 2 years, in some cases, due to the pandemic and how NZ reacted to it. That and Amazon has a big production office(s) in the UK now. Amazon had promised quite a bit of work and investment here (NZ) but I don’t know that was ever written in a contract, application or bid. Probably not going to happen now, I would be surprised if their next applications wasn’t looked at with as much favour by the NZ Film… Read more »
I guess the movie/tv industry just loves to screw over people …
then again … one of the reasons the movies were filmed there was because they were promised tax breaks so it was inevitable they’d leave as soon as something ‘cheaper’ was found.
It’s always the little people who suffer, isn’t it ?
The boys up top always get the profits.
@brennon the new LOTR series is set during the second age and Amazon have confirmed that the show will be set in the Age of Númenor (or the Second Age). This is the 3,441 year period ahead of The Fellowship of the Ring. The Silmarillion starts before the first age during the year of Lamps which is called the Quenta Silmarillion and ends during the first age.
@avernos I’m mildly wierded out by the fact our Wardrobes of Storing (+5) at the very least appear to share the same internal geometry, given my own copy of Sedition Wars is pretty much at the bottom of my Tetroid storage pattern (which reminds me at some point I need to paint all those minis, given the hard part of actually assembling them is out of the way). Funny thing Sedition Wars. Can’t help but think if CMON had made it today it would have done much better critically. They’ve certainly gotten down the method for translating stunning sculpts into… Read more »
@avernos Warcraft was done as a supplement for RPG that came out by Sword and Sorcery Studios for 3.5 DnD along with Diablo and Starcraft. They then did a second edition rule set. The studio also did the Everquest rules aswell.

The same studio also did the EverQuest 1 and 2 RPGs using the 3.5 system.
Lol Donald Duck meets his match, Hi CoGz.
Lol Gerrys cupboard looks like the floor Indy got dumped in to?
They need to get the simarillion film made with it’s army’s of dragon’s an balrok’s.
@dignity If you decide to do a Fallout RPG, count me in.
Please no… Lenny Henry is a terrible actor
what do you mean Arry?
Thought the guys said he was in the new LOTR series
that was my patented Lenny Henry impression
Oops, my bad.. ?
I now have an image of Odin sat at a table with Gerry and Lloyd on one side sayung; take Saga for instance, Ben on the other side going on about Burrows and Badgers, along with Warren peaking over Odin’s shoulder going; I’ve got a code buster for you…. Poor old Odin is slumped with one hand on his cheek…thinking when will Ragnarok come………Loki come back all is forgiven…
Congrats to the button winner’s.
An a COGs salute from Gerry at the end.
I’m not sure links work here but. Oh it did work
Happy Sunday.
Three very nice Golden Buttons there.
Really great Golden Button winners, excellent work! I started gaming back in the late 70s and can’t give an exact duration for any of my D&D campaigns (which were played every Friday night) but I don’t think any lasted longer than a year. We did alternate GMs to give us all a chance to play and we did adventure almost exclusively in Greyhawk so at least we felt like there was a sense of consistency. My gaming club is due to reform at the start of next month and I’m currently prepping to run Robert J. Schwalb’s PunkApocalyptic RPG with… Read more »
