Written by Paul The Demons: “You lied to your primary”, said Mr White as he looked across from the tube carriage to Mr Gray. The noise of the tube made it difficult for anyone nearby to overhear their conversation, but Mr Gray decided not to push operational security too far and decided to reply in…
Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorisms) Five Seconds Ago: The wind blew past Gwil’s face as he stood, facing the track. Romford Station. The rattling of the trains in the distance send a shudder up his spine. The Tannoy spoke, garbled but understood. “Stand back from the edge. The next train does not stop here” No…
Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorisms) In the light, fleeing from the institute, away from the infrastructure of the God Machine, led out by three former angels of the machine they face, the three mortals Gwil, Ryan and Sanjiv are encompassed by the expanding light and they remember… Over a year ago. Back in Romford. Three…
Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorisms) That moment, months ago. Crouched outside a warehouse in Sanford. That moment has passed, and yet returns over and over, in nightmare. Perhaps not just a memory. Perhaps so terrible that it can but occur again and again. Nate is dead. Dave is somewhere inside this warehouse, along with who…
WARNING Some Strong language Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorisms) This is not then. This is now. For all those terms can be understood in the face of recent revelations. The world is white. Blinding. Pulsing like the full force of a strobe light. There is a rhythmic whistling, a whine like the sound of dentists drill.…
Another month gone by, and a few more items added to my still growing collection. There are always so many different items that are out which I would still like to get a hold of. Add them to the collection. First up is a Role Playing Game book which I have been meaning to buy…
WARNING Strong language Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorisms) Romford Station. London. The air hangs heavy, a warm day without wind to move it. What was once a human body lies scattered across the tracks, dragged along with the halting train, carried with transferred momentum. Nate is dead. Suicide. The screaming will start soon. The steps…
I would like to draw your attention to a Kickstarter project I have listed on my Kickstarter list page, my fellow game lovers. It is a project called ‘Pariah Missouri Books 1 & 2 Hardcovers’. Now at first you would be lead to believe that this project is only for those of you who love…
This will be a quick post to update what I had got/purchased this month. These two games I had got given earlier in the month. As you can see this is the classic Carcassonne tile boardgame, but this is with a little twist as it is the Winter Edition, so all the scenes depicted are…
Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorism) Gumshoe: Nights Black Agents: Session 5 A train snakes through the landscape, away through open countryside and pine cone mountain valleys. Away from Serbia, and away from the revelations that took place there. It has been four days now. Four days since they set out, keeping themselves anonymous on public transport,…
Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorism) Gumshoe: Nights Black Agents: Session 4 A small graveyard, tucked away amongst the trees and mountain, mere miles from the Serbian border. A small village, isolated and unremarkable. A graveyard, now filled with much fresher corpses than it is supposed to hold. The result of the actions of three ex government…
Again I made the mistake of thinking that this month was going to be a quieter one, especially for my wallet. But oh no! There was only going to be one item for this month, as I had only picked up one thing for most of the duration of this month. Right up until the…
Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorism) Gumshoe: Nights Black Agents: Session 3 In the midst of the built up mass of suburbia Sergei watches through a monocular. Sweeping it up and down the well lit streets he sees nothing that alerts his well honed danger sense. The General Lennart is sleeping, drugged, and the moment to go…
Outlands Boarhead Tribe Leader – Spiritwalker (Hates Dhalians – Especially Lady Quinn who had tortured him previously when he was still a Dhalian.) The Boarheads under Spiritwalker are a large tribe.

To begin this month I only picked up one game, a boardgame. And yes it is another from Rio Grande released game, but after last months barrage of games I thought this would be the last for a while. (How wrong I was!) This one is called Vasco da Gama, and it entails the players…

Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorism) Gumshoe: Nights Black Agents: Session 2 It is several month since what was almost a nuclear disaster in Krakow. The Croatian city of Dubrovnik stretches out below a warm blue cloudless sky, leading out onto the coast. This is a land of tourists and celebrities, a land of wealth and Russian…

Written by Chris (alcoholandaphorism) Gumshoe: Nights Black Agents: Session 1 It was two years ago. Some South American Op. Deniable. Drug’s cartel work. That was the last time they had worked together. That was when it all went south. Nothing worked as it should; people clammed up instead singing like pigeons. More scared of someone…
