Thanks to Prescott and LSJ i got to play two very fine games* in the USA
which WEREN'T Jyhad/VTES, namely Fairy Meat [Kenzer games] and Vinci
[Descartes]. Fairy meat is possibly the world's first 1:1 scale
miniatures game, VERY vampiric and one of the funniest i've ever played.
Vinci is sort of all the best bits of civilisation, Britannia and Cosmic
Encounter all rolled into one, and it has an epic quality which should
appeal to the Methuselah mind. When we played it the most civilised
Methuselah turned out to be David Tatu. There's a kind of rightness about
that, i obscurely feel.
*Actually i got to play several other good games but i was so drunk that
i can't even remember their names. Fairly sure i lost at all of them
though. There was a good one with fancy marbles, called Zvrt or something
equally bizarre. LSJ kicked my arse at that one, for sure.

Since this is an off-topic thread, just wanted to mention that I dusted
off my old Talisman board game last week and had a great time playing
with all my siblings. Good game.

Talisman is a great game.
Myself and Mr Green used to play a 2 player speed version. Excellent fun.
Most of my childhood actually.

There's nothing more amusing than watching a great big pile of 9
fairies beating on each other and attempting to eat fairy parts, while
3 others lurk around the edges trying to figure out how to pick off
stragglers. =)

Yeah. I have no idea what that was, though I was sloshed and playing
it at one point. A very good abstract game, one for the chessplayers
and the like among us. ...This would be LSJ's cue to leap in and
provide us with something more pronounceable than "Zvrt", although
that might well have been how you said it at the time, all things
considered.

i'm not seeing the problem here - REALLY civilised people INVARIABLY bonk
anything that moves. Or doesn't, for that matter. It's to do with having
lots of free time and eating more high-quality food than you really need.

One of the really neat things about it was that the BOARD changed as the
game went on. LSJ's link to the game-makers in his reply to Derek's post
isn't working for me, unfortunately.

Good grief, the hours we spent playing that game. I remember the odd
occasions that we coaxed your family into playing it with they looked on
in bewilderment as we powered up our characters and trashed them.
We played at speed and also played around the rules at times as i
recall:
'Rob, don't you think that if this alledged 'maiden' is unaffected by a
whirlwind, then this fully laiden horse and cart repleat with all my
loot would be likewise??'
'OK Matt, we can count the horse and cart as a follower instead of an
artifact if you want'
'OK, cool'
'My turn. Cast mesmerism to steal one of your followers...'
Same sleaze. Different game.

Did you guys ever play Arcadia/Wyld Hunt or King Ironheart's Madness?
They were made by White Wolf and were basically a collectible card-game
version of Talisman, it seemed to me. Excellent artwork [except for the
Leagues - yeuch!], easy to learn and very funny, especially KIHM -
Affectionate Oil Slick, Pathetic Snivelling, Proselytising Velociraptors
and the Newt Gingrich Spoof [Speakers?] being possibly my favourite cards
for any CCG of all time ever. Not quite sure why they never took off -
something to do with negative tactics against the other players being
overpowered, perhaps, or maybe it's just that NOBODY except my friend
Marianne wants to play at being a soppy fairy. Fierce cannibalistic
fairies are, of course, TOTALLY cool. Long may they Twinkle, Pose,
Pounce, Flutter and Frolic through the land!

No, not really. CCGs only really started up when Rob went to So'ton to
uni so we really only played M:TG and V:TES before I went to uni too and
we both settled in the V:TES groove. Saying that we did get Talisman
Dragons quite late on and went back to playing the game with that (The
best expansion for the game BTW, it really sorts the men from the boys.
Turn2: can you handle a dragon attack? no? you'll be losing a life
then).
Other stuff we played to death between 1987 and 1994:
Battlecars/ Car Wars/ A LOT of Runequest (GW)/ Top Secret/ Warrior
Knights/ Block Mania/ Kings and Things/ Aquire/ Warlock/ Chess
plus a fair few other bad games once or twice (DragonQuest...Rouge
Trooper [***king terrible]...DungeonQuest...Valley of the 4 Winds)
Any I missed Rob?

You can have my copy as a loan. Trust me, you WON'T want to keep it.
The 2000AD spin off you might actually like is the Judge Dredd thingy.
Unfortunately i don't have it but you can pick it up second-hand
sometimes for not too many pennies. Games Workshop did it and it had some
[for that epoch] pretty good miniatures.

Ahhh Matt, all the above conjure fond memories but how could you possibly
forget the delights of Stratego (did you know they do a 4 player version of
that now!!! shudder) and the physical digit abuse that was Crossfire - out
of interest did we break both red guns or just the one ? Illuminati,
Hacker?? The sordid list goes on and on.
Early on we played Fighting Fantasy books quite a bit and those 2 player
White Warlord / Black Baron books that belong on the shelf of an S & M
store. Also do you remember that game with the phallic black computer tower
that turned around.. Dark Tower I think ??
Curse of the Mummies Tomb (GW) absolutely HAS to go into the esteemed Hall
of Shite, that cardboard catastrophe blew goats.
Pondering all the old games on the train going home, a recurring theme
strikes me. We always managed to totally stretch / abuse the game in hand as
much as possible. I am proud of this, it reflects in our V:TES game ho ho
ho.

Ahh, the nostalgia. Yeah, we broke both Crossfire guns as i recall,
although one was FUBAR for a while after we tryed to file out the barrel
to get 2 shots at once (seriously). Hacker's good, as is Illuminati. I
can reccommend Spammers by Altas games (Lunchmoney et al) in a similar
vein.

I'd blacked that one out of my memory. That went to the attic pretty
quickly, as i remember, on the grounds of excessive randomness:
Matts Turn: Move into this square...
DARK TOWER: Diddy-di-di-deee! [Gain reinforcements and gold].
Robs turn : Great i'll go there too!
DARK TOWER: Diddly deee-de-eeeeee-duuuuum. [wipe out your entire army,
steal your girlfriend, empty your bank account, kick your dog]
Meggie: Woof! oooow!
Everything we played was either totally startegic, or excessively
violent. In fact thinking about it, even the strategic ones were
violent. Remember 'Shuggy Hall Brawl' from that issue of White Dwarf?
each player picked a team of barflies and set about eavch other with
pool cues. Yes they gave this away in a kids magazine!
Its a suprise we turned out balanced. And that no one found the bodies
bricked up in the cellar of no. 23...

Don't anyone forget THE king of shite fantasy related games... Hero

Laugh? I nearly fell off my stool! We used to have a Hero Quest club at
school! We were young... we knew no better.
You mentioned Fighting Fantasy, but did anyone ever work out how to
complete "Starship Traveller" - it's the only one I've got I never
finished.
How about "I vant to suck your blood" - the game where the looser had
to get his finger "bitten" by a giant plastic vampire (really 2 magic
markers leaving red "bite marks")? Quite apt for this group, I'd have
thought.
Actually, most of theese games amounto tthe only thing that was good
about the 1980s!

God, those two were great! FEAR was great because there were 3 ways of
completing it depending on which Super Power you took.
My favourite FF book was Beast of Havoc, simply becuase it had a really
mad enigma device that ment you really had really think to read it -
all letters are actually the next letter on, except vowels which are
really spaces!!!!
I quite liked Steve Jacksons "Sourcery" series too. There was a loop in
it that meant by the end of book two you could end up with infinite
gold pieces (if you were that sad to do it... guilty as charged)

I've got a Judge Dredd RPG by Games Workshop, and a corresponding Citi-Block
map thing, but only paper figures. Miniatures would have been the best.
Have I mentioned that I have a better (US reprint) collection of Judge Dredd
comics than any comic book store I've ever seen? And about 80 issues of
2000AD.
Yup, that's my *other* addiction. Or maybe my third or fourth...

Isn't it odd how very many fine games GW produced and then "adjusted"
till they were absolutely pointless? It hurt most for Space Marine/Epic,
Talisman and Blood Bowl but the same thing basically has happened to
Warhammer and WH40K. i spose you could argue that WH/40K were cursed at
birth by Magic and ranged combat respectively, and of course it is also
true that many of the games they produced started off pants. My prize for
worst game ever would probably go to Spellfire or Wyvern but in truth the
worst game i have ever played more than once was GW's Armageddon, a
thinly-disguised WW2 Eastern Front game with the Orks as the Germans and
the Empire as the Russians. Andrew Sparkes and i ended up calling it the
Game Where You Always Win if you're the Orcs. i like Mordheim, though -
cool little miniatures and buildings and LOTS of fish. Nearly as good as
Flintloque, i'd say.

You don't realize the extent of my problem here.
I bought the Judge Dredd pinball game. I am currently bidding on a giant
plastic eagle accessory for it.
As far as I am aware, this is the ultimate of all Judge Dredd collector items.
Or at least the biggest commercially available. I don't think they sold
street-legal versions of the Lawmaster used in the (shudder) Stallone film.
