Quiet but still busy

Things have been a little quiet around the site for a few weeks now, but I have been busy working on some things. Some are for SInister Laboratories some are for 2nd edition. I will be mostly unavailable for the next two and a half weeks and I hope during that time to finish work on some of these projects.

When I am back, I should be posting more regularly. If you are new to the games or an old-timer, don’t think the current long-period of silence has any other significance than just real life making me a touch crazy lately.

Final day of GenCon. It has been an awesome time. I have gotten a ton of ideas and potentially some new help. I’ll keep you up to dates as usual and hopefully have some stuff for you soon.

One of a Kind Conversion in the Bazaar

I just added a converted Waterfront Character to the Bazaar. He is the first of several test runs I am making for a model that will eventually be cast up. If you like our current waterfront characters and want to add some firepower, give him a shot.

From the Files of Emerson P. Balldridge

Just added the start of some fiction I am working on. You can read it online and I hope to have a download for it soon as well.

Feel free to post feedback on it. No action to start, I had to set Emerson P. Balldridge and Nick Clayton up with their first meeting.

New Miniatures Added to Bazaar

I am finally starting to put up some single miniatures in the Bazaar area of the store. Just a few right now with more to come later in the weekend. Some will be singles, some will be sets. They will be from several different manufacturers, but most should be pulp related.

I hope everyone will be able to find something they like. Click on the link below to check them out.

Website Work Continues

I am still working on the website. I have added a second version of the Speakeasy Forum that will allow you to post comments on news items I post here. You’ll probably see things changing from time to time as I try and work the bugs out. Try and be patient as we go through this process. I’m trying to give you the best possible experience. That means a little trial and error.

Thank you.

In the Heart of Africa Event Cards

Since we are always trying to provide something the players may want, but is not required, I am working on a small card set (about 27 cards) for In the Heart of Africa. The cards can be used as random events to help or hinder one side or the other. There is nothing hugely overpowering, but there are some little things designed to throw wrinkles into the game. The other thing, is that they can be used with nearly any Colonial Africa game. The events are generic enough that a specific rule set is not required. You can see samples of the front and back of the cards below.

New Items in the Bazaar

While working on the site, I decided to add some new items to the Blackmarket Bazaar. Just some old unpainted skeletons, a couple of bits of resin terrain and a Civil War boardgame. You can check them out here:
