That's a really clever way of constructing a campaign narrative. I like it!

The one that sticks in my mind is "My old man's a dustman, he wears a dustman's hat..."

I didn't so you learn something new everyday :).

Thanks Chris. Often at the end of the game, Dave and I will discuss broadly what the next scenario might be. Then it is up to me (or him) to sort the details out etc. A really fun and easy way of doing things.

QuoteMaking this period more and more intriguing...... MUST....... RESIST........ Wink

Resistance is futile :D.

Glad you chaps liked the AAR and looking forward to next weeks game.

What, this one?



Entertaining report, HoW always gives a cracking game.

Good luck to the Jacobites next time, if Keith's playing them. It never goes well for the author, referencing another recent thread :D

Happy to help! If it's any consolation I ended up listening to about half a dozen in a row including one where Micheal Barrymore joined in (and got cut out :D), and only managed to escape when Youtube segued to Chas and Dave...
