Library Update (21)

So, for a long time now I didn't update my library status. As You may predict it only changes when something new is in my greedy tentacles. For a couple of weeks since my last update, I added some times to my list of Shame. But also I've reread one book.

A new addition to my list is Choose Cthulhu 4 based on The Nameless City story by H.P.Lovecraft. Didn't have a chance to play in it. But hopefully, It will change soon. Maybe with Cryo Chamber's Nyarlathotep in the background.

The second item is Rudyard Kipling's book from Polish publisher C&T. I like other, not horror books by him, so hope that this will be another of these little pearls in my collection.

Currently, during reading Downward Spire Lonely Hill, I made a little break to read City of the Singing Flame by Clark Ashton Smith. This is only one book translated into Polish by this author. Also, this is my second or third time reading it, but I find many new details in those stories. Here it is, as a curiosity, this book from 1991 has a Doc Savage cover by Lang. Why? Don't know. It was a strange time in the publishing industry in my country. Maybe this is the answer.

The Thing Update

After a couple of weeks of nocturnal painting, my wife and I finished minis from The Thing Board game. Then we use our lightbox to make these pictures.  We already play in a couple of games both with 4 people and with 2 gamers and they were great games. Hope this weekend we can play again! So with no furder ado, we want to show  You Our iteration of those iconic heroes. Hope You like them. In no particular order:

Here is an updated Video from Unboxing. We've got some issues with the last one.

Library Update (20)

I'm somewhat late with this post, but it was stranded in draft hell for some time. So fashionably late, here it is!

I've received three interesting specimens for this Easter. Don't know when I will read them, but I will put them on my "List of Shame". Hope that someday I will read them at last.

First are Lovecraft letters. I've got a rule for some time now that I read one of those times a year. Now I'm reading letters to and from Clark Ashton Smith. Maybe this book will be next year's choice?

Shadows over Innsmouth are the second book in the series, starting with Madness of Cthulhu. I never started reading the first one, so this is going to my bookshelf. The same as my next book.

Harry Angel. I have never seen the film, never read the book, but my correspondent said it is worth reading. Maybe someone can tell me if he is right. With this pace of buying books (and publishing them by various publishers) and my reading rate, I must say I'm buying book for my retirement now...

The Thing Board Game

This is Our 150 post on this blog! For a celebration of this moment, we are proud to present Our unboxing of the Polish Edition of The Thing Board Game. We also showing both miniatures expansion - Human and Aliens and also a playing mat for this game with is a cool addition to this experience. With no further ado... Ladies and Gentlemen The Thing Board Game!

Now I must only find another three gamers to play with them...

RPG Icons Dice Set Seth Skorkowsky

So I was thinking about my youtube channel and the last film I put on it. It was a couple of years ago, so I've decided to change this today. Here You got a brand new video for unboxing of RPG Icons Dice Set Seth Skorkowsky edition. These dices are very readable and nicely produced. Now only to have some occasion to use them... 

Library Update (19)

Since my last update, I've received a couple of parcels. First from my correspondent book about H.P.Lovecraft. This time it will be about him. So something different this time.

Another one is Bram Stoker's Jewel of Seven Stars. Don't know about this book anything. So hope this will be a nice lecture in the future. 

Another three books are somewhat odd for me. They are weird tales from Poland. Authors wrote them in the interwar period. But since then there was no new editions. So these hundred years old tales come to light for the first time in a century. I've already read one of them and it was superb. The mastery in using polish language, the subject - death, makes these stories especially intriguing for someone who likes to delve into horror stories from the beginning of the last century. I hope the rest of them will be like that first one.

Of course, all of these books make it into my List of Shame. 

RPG Update (36)

As You may know, at the end of the last year I've played in solitary adventure from West End Games for Indiana Jones RPG. After some searching in my old pdf, I've found another such gem. This time for the Masterbook system. Just like the last time, it was a blast! This time it was during The lost Ark movie in Cairo. The main hero was Indiana stand-in, but this was a minor difference. Also, I was listening to the soundtrack from that movie. It was another nice experience. Too bad that I think this is the last solitaire adventure for our favorite whip-handling archeologist. I'm thinking about all these other adventures... Maybe I could make them fit into one campaign? Somewhere in the future? Maybe? Using Astounding Adventures as a system base for them? With little Pulp Cthulu sprinkled on it?
