Hi Tas,

I've emailed Patrick Sweeney for you mate. I think they were out for Summer vacation.

The good news is that the next supplement is abou to hit the streets. I helped put it togteher and while I haven't seen the final layout or the artwork yet, it is pretty cool:

From:

http://www.firefly-games.com/

"Battlegrounds: New York City is fresh out of layout and goes on sale next week for $2.95 here at our Online Store and via our friends at Ronin Arts on RPG Now, Drive-Through RPG, Paizo.com, and elsewhere. This 10-page PDF expansion for our Monster Island fighting games features the Big Apple in all its glory for your monster-smashing enjoyment."

"Inside Battlegrounds: New York City, you'll find:

- Details on the history and layout of New York City, including the five boroughs, Central Park, major rivers, and New York Harbor. Also, details on the history of the Big Apple in the world of Monster Island.
- Twenty-two key buildings, including airports, skyscrapers, and a nuclear power plant.
- Eight New York City landmarks, from the Brooklyn Bridge to the Empire State Building.
- A new civilian unit for human armies ? the fire boat.
- Four new key building types, such as the theater and church.
- New rules for battles in the 1930s, including five brand-new human army units of the 1930s ? featuring biplanes and dirigibles!"

So now you can play King Kong, Beast from 20,0000 fathoms, Godzilla (US version) and many more!

Thanks for everything!

I'm trying to help John and Daniel get copies of the game.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

RPG: Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay: "Something Rotten In the Reikland!" - Session One.

Hi Guys,

I stopped by Hobby Monkey, my local gaming shop, tonight to meet Eric-Chern, Chuck, Paul and Bo for a game of Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay. WHFR is a funny game because where else can you find ?party with the following professions?

- Boatman
- Charcoal Burner
- Scribe
- Town Watchman

*** Can anyone guess which one of those characters is mine? ***

Next week, Chuck and Eric plan to play a game of "Babylon 5: A Call to Arms." Erick and Chuck are really getting into starship combat games again and are both B5 fans. Eric also lent me his boxed DVD set of the first season of television B5 episodes.

Eric wants to get the guys together to see the premier of the new Spielburg "War Of the Worlds" film tomorrow.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

Scribe?

I'm guessing scribe also.

I, too, have played WFRP. Love the professions and skills. Too bad GW dropped it. It is a really good system. When it came out it was way better than what TSR was doing with D&D at that time.

Hi Guys,

I was chosen to be the scribe, which can hopefully later expand into a magic-using profession.

*** Am I so predictable? ***

Paul is the charcoal burner.

Bo is the Town Watchman.

Chuck is the boatman.

Eric-Chern is the Gamemaster.

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

TV SPECIAL: Ancient's Alert: "Empire" Airs on ABC!

Hi Guys,

I'm normally not much of a fan of mainstream television programming, but Diana mentioned earlier this week that anew special about the Roman empire has aired on your local ABC television associate (Or for those not in the USA, I'm sure this program will eventually come out in DVD format... ).

"Empire" looks interesting.

Here is a link to a web page about the television special:

http://abc.go.com/movies/empire.html

And a blurb about the show:

Empire
Tuesday, June 28 at 9/8c

Starring Jonathan Cake, Santiago Cabrera, Emily Blunt, Chris Egan and Vincent Regan.
?
Empire, the epic six-hour summer drama series, filmed entirely in Rome and South Central Italy, focuses on Julius Caesar's nephew, Octavius, who is forced into exile after Caesar's murder, and a fictional disgraced gladiator, Tyrannus, who has sworn to protect him.

The time is 44 B.C. and the Conqueror Julius Caesar returns from triumphs in Spain to a neglected Republic and a corrupt Senate drunk with power. Though he's hailed as a hero by the masses, the Senate is wary of Caesar's plans that might place him in a position of ultimate power. Brutus and Cassius try to enlist the help of Marc Antony in overthrowing Caesar, but Antony is loyal to Caesar and refuses. A terrible conflict looms and the fate of an empire will fall to one man - a gladiator named Tyrannus.

Tyrannus , Rome's finest warrior, is undefeated in the arena and considered a champion among men. A slave since he was a young man, Tyrannus impresses Caesar with his fighting prowess and his popularity, and with his dedication to Rome. Caesar offers him freedom in return for his service and friendship. However the Senate puts up a vicious fight for power and manages to separate Caesar from Tyrannus' protective grasp by sending the gladiator to one last match to the death. Cassius and Brutus have Tyrannus' son, Piso, kidnapped. Tyrannus rushes to his son's rescue and kills the kidnappers, only to realize that the abduction is a diversion. He hurries to Caesar's side, but it is too late. His absence results in Brutus successfully leading a group of conspirators in assassinating the great conqueror. As he is drawing his last breath, Caesar swears Tyrannus to an oath to protect his successor, Octavius, his 18-year-old nephew.

Tyrannus and Octavius are forced into exile to protect the young man from those who want to sever Caesar's bloodline once and for all. They are joined by Agrippa, a young soldier, and by Camane, a Vestal Virgin from the powerful religious Order whose members are being hunted down for trying to save Octavius. Together they will help Octavius fulfill his destiny. He leaves Rome an impetuous boy, but will Octavius return as Emperor?

Shalom,
Maksim-Smelchak.

I heard that it didn't get good reviews. Not that I always go by reviews, but...

Not Predictable so much as believable.

You would be a good scribe, so playing one makes sense.

When I played WHFRP (some 16 years ago... :blues:

) I rolled up an elf noble. He was about as annoying as nobles can be and had a sychopath sidekick who was always polishing his armor & equipment... :laugh:

I think I saw the preview? ?

Does look good...

HBO is doing a series called "Rome," IIRC, in the Fall or Winter... it looked good too!
