Demons

Dick and I played SPI’s Demons, written by James F. Dunnigan, over the Thanksgiving break (Elias hooked me up with the game — props). The premise of the game is that King Solomon was given a magic ring by archangel Michael that gave him control over demons of the land. The Demons get out and all hell breaks loose. To add to matters, magicians, spotting an opportunity (as they do), start showing up and getting the demons to do their bidding and basically plundering the treasures of the land. Players play power hungry magicians.

Like my other experiences with paper war games, Demons is extremely complicated. It took Dick and I a couple hours to figure out. When we finally did, we played for about an hour and realized we were playing wrong. Here are some pictures.

The Best Page of Wolverine – EVER

The Chris Claremont scripted Wolverine is far superior to what the comic devolved into. Peter David’s scripts (David took over a number of comics after Claremont) leave a lot to be desired. However, this page from the 6th part of the “The Gehenna Stone Affair”, which appeared in Wolverine #16, is a triumph in all manner of the word.

White Plume Mountain and DIRT ROAD Movie

I was thinking about running White Plume Mountain</a href> over the winter break. For those you not familiar with it, it is the followup to Tomb of Horror</a href>.

If you are interested give me a shout.

Additionally, I wanted to shoot a short film. Joe and I have been tossing around a couple ideas (I want to shoot on the dirt road personally), but I wanted to put some feelers out as to who was and was not going to be home at Christmas. Ideas for the script will be contingent on whose available.
