I suppose I should try and make this (oh we'll I remember the days when you'ld be lucky to see two or three boarders in Ireland North and South...)

If they're selling them at £12 and people are buying them at £12 then that's pretty much the definition of the correct market value...

Bump! I'll be bringing a bunch of original art for this, so if anyone wants to buy some it's a good chance to get me and mike to sign it...

Lift your phone to your ear, and as loudly as possible shout "Yeah, sorry mate, I can't hear you - I'm in the cinema and some cock is talking on his phone".

There is (or was, I.m not sure if it's still going) a Belfast comic creators group that met on the first Thursday of the month.
Can't open facebook on this machine, but I'm pretty sure they have a group.

Sadly now defunct (lack of general interest I think)

Got my stuff in earlier, show looks like it'll be massive. The artists village is a little small, but good location, I'll be there and forbidden planet will have a whole bunch of my comics (including numbercruncher hardbacks). I'll sign 'em if you buy 'em!

Hey all, I'm at the comic village table CA5 - come and say hello!

Excellent news. Will the trade include the teaser episode published in the Megazine?

Good question! I'd also like to know this.

That's the plan (plans all liable to change)

Also... well, there'll be more in it, I hope...!

(At last)

First issue available to buy on comixology: https://www.comixology.co.uk/Dept-of-Monsterology/comics-series/20259

Hopefully the remaining three issues should follow in good time...

In other news: there's a short one off to follow and then another story...

Star wars miniatures game with Nathan(9) and Thomas(5)

Essentially, I boiled the rules down a bit to:
Move (normal rules apply) then shoot (normal rules apply)
(We skipped harder features like picking an action/barrel rolls/etc, though once I've got them firm on the basics they should be alright on the more advanced rules).

I gave them the best tie fighters (there's two tie fighters in the base set) and me the worst x-wing pilot.

Takes long to setup (getting everything out of the box, assembling the fighters, figuring out where the hell the movement rulers are underneath all the other bits) and plays very quickly (20 minutes is the longest we've played for-though it should play quicker, I drew two critical hits destroying my entire ship in two shots).

They really enjoy it, I keep bending the rules though, letting tom roll an extra defence, flying my ship (stupidly) in their line of fire.

Even at that, it's still fun to play (I just pretend I'm Porkins)

Looking forward to playing it properly with an adult though, and then I can accept ignominious defeat purely because I'm rubbish at games and not because I'm not letting the kids win...

Starwars arrived yay!

Play testing with the kids tonight. Will let you know how it goes...

Got to play a super simplified set up of starwars x wing fighter miniatures in Enniskillen the other week, was tremendous fun, so I've ordered up the starter set, hoping I can play with the kids (age 9 and 5).

(The super simplified set up abandoned all the cards in favour of a straight up darth vader vs luke skywalker).

Looks like the games can be played pretty quick and the core set has three ships, one for each of us.

(looked around belfast to buy it, couldn't see it so ordered if via amazon, then turns out forbidden planet belfast sells it, so kicking myself...)

Some very strong cases made there! Thanks for the episode recommendations Radiator, I had a check and while it's not on Netflix (I'm sure that's where we watched it before?!) the Xbox video service lets you buy individual episodes so I've picked up the ones you mentioned. Will get them watched this week and see how I get on!

If you have unblock-us, it's on netflix canada...

Any idea where I can buy these online...?

GODZILLA!

Man, that movie looks like it'll be terrific.
