    Well, miniatures are a hobby I like on an intuitive level. They're a hobby I have to skip on a practical level, though, due to space constraints.

    I think I forgot to answer you about the cards - no, Phil didn't do 'card tricks'; he was a really good player. I did stage magic for quite a while, and that's where I learned the skill of the conjurer.
    Did you two ever play, and did you two ever consider financing Tekumel with a trip to Atlantic city or Las Vegas?

It's a very mean and nasty place, and I don't care how tough you are, it will beat you to your knees and keep you there permanently if you let it. You, me, or nobody is gonna hit as hard as life. But it ain't about how hard you hit. It's about how hard you can get hit and keep moving forward; how much you can take and keep moving forward." - Rocky

    I think they had some bobbys on unicycles. I have the winged monkeys with blunderbusses and flintlocks that were used for Fantacide. Alien Dungeon was a fun company that became a cautionary tale about small companies and highly successful kickstarter campaigns.

    Hello All,

    I just came across this today. If you haven't seen it yet, it deserves your attention. This study is another fine example of someone's fondness for The Professor's creation. I'm sure would bring a smile to his face. Enjoy!!!

    Understood - stick with paper, or you get a house like mine...

    No. I know my limitations, and playing Phil would have been just plain dumb. He really was that good. Never thought about the professional angle; I think he knew what the odds are like in the casinos...

    Somebody out there does them. I could have sworn I saw them on the Eureka site - maybe in the 'Pax Limpopo' line?

    I hear you about AD; I had wondered about the line when I saw it in the local FLGS. It's an example of one of the issues in the game industry today, very few companies can get the finding to finance the means of production - too much overhead for a small company - and thus have to rely on third-party manufacturers for their products. This can really badly backfire, if something goes wrong in the supply chain.

    Foundry's vast range has some real gems in it; I love their Assyrian siege troops, myself, as they make perfect Salarvyani.

    But, as I have learned the hard way over the years, look at the lead before you buy - some of their offerings are kinda grim...
