[first big epic]

this month we will be delving into the first big epic in Dredd's history...

So what were the Cursed Earth and The Day the Law Died? Chopped liver?

That's what I was thinking - not to mention the Judge Child Quest!

2 more actors from classic childhood programmes have passed away both of cancer

Barry Howard best known for playing dance instructor Barry Stuart-Hargreaves from "Hi De Hi, at the age of 78.
Mark Farmer best known for his role as Gary Hargreaves  from "Grange Hill" at the age of 53.

Can't place the Grange Hill actor (and yes, I have googled for images).  I'm actually a bit surprised how young the dance instructor from Hi De Hi must have been - I thought he was of about retirement age 30 years ago!

[Scarlet Traces: Cold War]

Scarlet Traces: Cold War & the next book of Flesh with Clint Langley on art chores in the prog as of July according the listing in the latest US edition of Previews. Am unsure at this stage if Langley will actually be drawing this with pencil & ink or merely importing photographs of real dinosaurs into Photoshop.

Photographs of real dinosaurs?  What, their skeletons, in museums? :-P

laser + object = AWESOME

I defy you to find anything that lasers don't make more awesome.

That's a challenge to think about...

I'm going to guess Van Gogh on that one...

Tricky - Picasso's Guenica?

As long as it isn't Dredd, Rico II or Beeny, I don't care!

Personally, I hope it's Tharg!

Bring back Big E!

Starlord shall return!

So start of last week in my job and Newcastle before moving to London this Saturday!

See you at the Southern Contingent on Free Comic Book Day then!

Let's try that without any formatting to mess things up...

Now you've done it! 

In the imminent face of impossibly long, rambling posts about the Slaine RPG, might this not be a good time to split all the RPG posts off into a seperate thread, and keep this one just for board games?

Good point - here's a brand, sparkly new thread.

[Official 2000AD Online R.P.G. Club]

Anybody interested in starting the Official 2000AD Online R.P.G. Club .....

I would suggest, something light....to start with. I don't think I would be the best choice for Dungeon/Game-Master/Story-Teller either.

Sounds interesting

But will we be doing JD RPG from Games Workshop, the D20 based one or the Traveller based one?  There's also Strontium Dog and Slaine games out there...

looks pretty good tho i saw another bit with an ISD next to .

ISD?
International School of Düsseldorf
Inhibited sexual desire

Not that I expect to be playing any of these games. I still like to flip through them to read random paragraphs & admire the new art-work. Which is a dramatic change from the art of the very first monster manuals. Just saying so, because the book usually has a lot of art in it!

You can play by forum (not unlike this forum).   rpggeek.com and probably rpg.net have such forums.

Is there a current list of what is forthcoming somewhere?

Yes - if your screen is anything like mine, click on any of the links at the top of the page except for community (because that's the link to this forum) - then go to the bottom of page, click on publishing catalogue and you'll download the pdf.

[D&D]

Still not ready for D&D just yet despite the kids daily reminders and my eldest just bought the monster manual with his B'day cash. Honestly who doesnt like a good monster manual and this ones great  with loads of descriptions, stats and every creature has a lovely colour illustration.

Apologies if you mentioned this upthread - I presume you have the Players Handbook and Dungeon Masters Guide already?  PH is absolutely essential, it's probably a matter of personal preference which is most important out of DMG and MM.  Are you playing 3.5 or 5th ed?  (Apparently there was a version in between, but we don't talk about that!)
