Fear of the Dark 2nd Edition

The 2nd Edition of Fear of the Dark is released today on Wargames vault . The rules are aimed at solo or cooperative games set in the world of Cthulu type horror ,since its initial release its author David has fully supported the game with lots of free scenarios and in fact if you purchased the first edition of the rules the 2nd is a free download as well ,if not its well worth purchasing . Also there seems to have been a lot of input from some really nice chaps mentioned inside the front cover

cthulu rising

Another couple of recent buys for my pulp gaming ,a lovely resin 1/56 scale Scottish Trawler from anyscale models,bought few smaller craft as well for my upcoming Innsmouth Game and a rather energetic Cthulu rising from the depths this one is another Whizz Kids model ,the sea mat is actually a £2 table cloth from Amazon

More Lovecraft Beasties

Had the chance to go through a lot of my figure collections over the weekend and managed to get a lot of Cthulu inspired creatures gathered together ,some of these are over 30 years old and a few were painted by Tony "Gunta " Cheetham , gone but never forgotton . These will be appearing in some Fear of the Dark and Pulp Alley games over the winter time.

H.P.Lovecraft

I am slowly building my Lovecraft /Cthulu figures but to get some inspiration I dug out my copy of the Necronomicon ,the best wierd tales of H.P.Lovecraft .I have had it for at least 20 years .The book not only contains over 30 of his best stories and poems but is illustrated with some fantastic art work and a great Biography and study of his works and his legacy .I also did alittle figure of Lovecraft reading one of his Books with a few tentacles bursting from its pages ,He can now take part in my games.

A Little `bit of Love....craft

I have always been a massive fan OF H.P.Lovecraft and some of my best gaming memories are running the RPG call of Cthulu games at Sheffield Wargames Society and the Wargames Emporium with my brother John ,best mate John ,little john ,Ian Goadsby and the sadly missed Tony Cheetham and Tony Cousins ,some great nights and loads of fun as Little John always did the one thing you should never do ,lots of long lived charecters died due to him opening the wrong door or speaking the wrong chant. Anyway with a couple of Lovecraft based scenarios coming out for Pulp Alley and a new rule set based on Lovecrafts works called fear of the dark I have started painting up some bits ,here are my Deep ones and some hybrids to stalk the streets of Innsmouth . All but one of them are Nortstar figures
