Lawrence McCarty
Originally a soldier of the British SAS in Africa, he now works as a Chaplain for the British Army. Deeply scarred by the events in Libya when a pack of what seemed like hairless dogs (Hounds of Tindalos) ambushed and killed his whole squad. Now a man of faith, he is determined to keep all of his unit alive for fear of being alone again. Some say he was driven half-mad from Libya. Even if it's true, this man is the most fearless human being alive and will fight fervently.

Dr. Josef Vygotsky
Attaché to the Paranormal Investigations Soviet and devout card-carrying member of the Communist Party. Won plaudits from Lenin himself for his zealotry in disproving Catholic dogma immediately after the Bolshevik revolution. Although his brief is to liaise with Allied forces when investigating the supernatural, Dr Vygotsky sees his personal mission as one of enforced enlightenment...

Doctor Zhao “Jim” Matsu
3rd generation Japanese American. Linguist under the OSS prior to Pearl Harbor. Assigned to the european front due to make things easier, and due to it being the source of most of the languages he speaks, combined with a hobby interest in photography. Due to various issues certain higher ups tend to have with his heritage, he gets dumped into things that would normally be considered far stranger than would normally be taken seriously.

Marilyn Baxter
Marilyn was a book-worm, stuck in the back of a library cataloging donations in Chicago. While sorting through a generous estate donation, she found a journal belonging to the recently deceased Sir M. Hatterton which chronicled an unpublished discovery located off the coast of France. Dreaming of leading the life of a dime-store novel heroine, she packed her hat and her mother’s revolver in search of clues to a forgotten mystery.

Yay, weekender!
It’s sad I couldn’t make it to TN today… But then again I get to play 3 awesome 40k games today topped off with some Dr. Who!
Happy Tabletop Day Everyone!
I am love fact that thanks to Kickstarter Warzone is coming back. How ever I hope that even if there is going to be new models there will be option to use old onces that some of us still have.
Yeah, I really hope I can buy cards, or even print them. It would be great to get to play with all my old stuff but with a fresh set of rules. That would be awesome even.
Great Weekender Guys 🙂
Happy Tabletop Day lads, I got my game of Talisman in for the day
I’m celebrating tabletop day by having a mammoth d&d session, I’d love to have come up to TN but with a new baby its just not possible.
Dark Legion is back!!
Well. that was a nice surprise for an early saturday morning.
Never played warzone at the time, but I remember it very well, I really like the idea of the rpg/wargame synergy they have going on , thats a very interesting concept.
Cant get to TTN sadly, but for tabletop games day we have organised a game of achtung cthulu with the adventure thingy you had on the backstage offers the other week.
Well I will see you guys later looking forward to 40k air on air action 😀
There is a mutant chronicles movie that aint too bad http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0490181/
ill be down after work for a game of infinity and maybe a warmahordes demo
Warzone game looking really nice… my poor bank account is suffering from all those cool kikstarters.
I wonder if the movie will be part of the cannon or not. I am happy to see the return of Warzone with the current explosion of mini games!
To quote ‘Ren and Stimpy’.
‘Happy happy joy joy, happy happy joy,happy joy, happy joy joy, happy happy joy!’
The old Warzone Mutant Chronicles was such a cool game system .
This sounds like the best ideas over the last 20 years of table top gaming all rolled into one big game system of awsome!Colour me oh so very interested….
A ‘Nostalgic Board Game Bash’ at my local club for table top day!
Blood Bowl, Space Hulk, Warhammer Quest,Advanced Space Crusade,etc
Great Weekender from you guys!Excellent stuff!
I love the Mutant Chronicles universe. It had amazing art back when most companies were using used black and white line drawings.
However, to describe the move as not too bad is…generous of you.
Hey, BoW, would it be possible to get the Acthung! Cthulhu characters for the Tabletop Game Day as PDFs?
The Bauhaus faktion always cracks me up. Bauhaus is an actual major german hardware store chain.
Have been following the WZR kickstater for a while now and its really looking awsome.
The movie is a good introduction to the world. This vid may have persuaded me to get into the KS, I have been dithering somewhat. The link to the roleplaying game is very nice.
Buy guys STOP SAYING COOL! – geez im ancient and even I don’t say ‘cool’ any more 🙂
We will switch to ‘RAD!’ or ‘AWESUM!’ or ‘WICKED!’ from here on in 😉
or for an episode beep each cool
I must have missed this the first time around – shame on me! I’m already thinking of Martian/ Mercurian scenery for this, where’s my pen/paper? I’ve got work to do!
Warzone really looks nice! Looking forward to see it start up and the models.
Warzone is back! Well, I´m a very rare person, because I started collecting and playing Warzone in 2009, when the game was dead, but I searched for Mutant Chronicles in Google because of the film (yes, there´s a Mutant Chronicles film, with Thomas Jane and Ron Perlman) and I entered in the Spanish community of the game. I liked so much the background and the rules so I couldn´t resist and started to buy some miniatures from Prince August. It´s been more than three years now, I have two big factions and I think Prodos is doing a great job… Read more »
I have been waiting for Warzone to come back since Excelsior f…d up. Please take care of Chronopia as well.
I hope you will succeed gyus.
WoW, Great Stuff!!!
My interest in Warzone/Mutant Chronicles has just been Supercharged – I love the WIP Miniatures we have been seeing and look forward to learning more!!
Loving the new warzone! Played in my teens. Can’t wait til June for my minis to arrive
Hope the day goes well, would have loved to have been able to make it 🙂
