zombie: Icecreeeeammm….
When Warren wields a shotgun… Ice Scream, you scream, we all scream!
Little babies ice cream…best ever ice cream ad!
99 Problems but the zombie ain’t one!
Happy Sunday!
@warzan There is a game that manipulates time almost exactly as you described. Its called Tragedy Looper, “a time-loop deduction board game. A Mastermind will unfold a mystery while the Protagonists try to figure out what is going on. As a Protagonist, your goal is to break out of the time loop maze and create a happy future.”

Also for the contest….
Warren: “I’m here to kill zombies and eat ice cream and I’m almost all out of ice cream…. Well actually I have a whole truck full… Justin can you kill that Zombie for me?”
Justin: “Zombie!!?? What zombie???!!”
Justin: Hey Warren, I think that zombie wants his brains back.
Warren: Don’t bother me now, I’m enjoying my ice cream with brains.
Justin: Alright, since you’re busy, mind if I take a swing at him then?
I will supply a caption a bit later, but if you want some great game rules for time travel, using weird variants of time loops, paradoxes, pre-visits and multiple presence, look up the RPG called Timemaster. It has a core book and a supplement that I think is called time tricks – you can get them as PDFs; if you are going to do anything with games and time travel, I would consider these books a must read, I guarentee they’ve thought of stuff that hasn’t even occurred to most people, even a timelord 🙂
JUSTIN: “We’ve a problem over here”
Zombie: “……..”
WARREN: “We’ve got 99 problems but Ice cream ain’t one”
Caption comp. “Justin… when i said we needed some walls for cover, this isnt exactly what i meant!”
Odd tangent: As Warren was digging out those fighters I thought they looked familiar, especially those ones with the rounded rear-section. One Wikipedia search later it looks like they are sculpts from the old (no sniggers you lot) Ring Raiders toyline from the early 90’s http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ring_Raiders
Man, that show was INSANE…..
For Lloyd. Pride and Prejudice the boardgame http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/14422/pride-and-prejudice-game
It is a bit of a roll and move but you could always add Space Marines
Justin: Hey Warren, you do realize this is just a picture. It ain’t for real…
Warren: Watch it Justin, there is still room for another zombie in the Halloween photo frame
Warren: this ice cream blocked my initiative roll so I am stuck eating and relaxing
a bit this turn… Justin, you deal with it.
Justin: why does it always have to be me….
Zombie: Brains….
@warzan – You were discussing about how to do hangars and the corrugated roof; this might not be 100% accurate for France, but a few airfields in the UK, and Cosford my local one lay grass over the roof of hangars to disguise them from the air. They would even let sheep graze on them to add to the effect, it gives you another option. http://mw2.google.com/mw-panoramio/photos/medium/21675529.jpg As for the aircraft, Spitfires were more dogfighting aircraft and were much more manoeuvrable at lower altitudes than the German BF109 and the FW 190, which were better suited at high altitude fighting and… Read more »
cosford was my local airfield but now biggin hill is, and biggin hill is pap as it has been ruined by gulf stream jets and lots its WW2 nostalgia
Perfect … the zombie apocalypse is ongoing and all I got is Prosecco ice cream … I’m quite pissed now …
Speaking of Dice, Every christmas Santa always leaves a Dice in the kids stockings. Because Dice are important and whilst as kids we had D6 all over the place my kids think of Dice in terms of D6, D8, D4, D20 and so forth.
Warren: Justin, we’ve run out of red juice for my 99, any ideas?
Justin: (thinks) Mmmm, axe + zombie “hold on a sec Warren, I know where to get some!”
Now thats very a Baldrick idea, Cappuccino anyone?
Justin”Warren, all that mr whippy making you gassy?”
Warren”No Justin, that’d be the zombie behind you that you’d be smelling”
*John the zombie ambles forwards*
Justin: NO Warren, I said if we see a zombie I SCREAM!!!
Love the ideas for games for your daughter Warren. I cant wait till my little girl is old enough to enjoy things like this.
With regards to 28mm ghosts. Do you remember “Monster’s in my pocket”? might not be perfect scale but the ghost never are exactly human scale in ghostbusters!
“You’ll be fine Justin, they eat brains”
While Justin has proved undetectable in the zombies’ search for brains Warren tests his new Brain Freeze theory…
I loved those historical minis, but I think Lloyd is right, those things are normally somewhere between 70mm and 120mm scale.
Great show again, thanks.
Oh, and for the picture
‘Darrell has let himself go’
Justin: “If I go back and get you some raspberry sauce, will that cheer you up?”
Warren: *glares menacingly *
