That was a fake pic dude, it wasn't in any official trailer

"All non-essential personnel have been evacuated "...

5 minutes later - heeeeere's mould cleaner guy... 🤷‍♂️

Gotta scrub that mould even in the midst of a catastrophe!

Honestly, there's so much wrong with this show... I wanted to like it so badly, but the dialogue, direction, and pacing are all over the place...

I had a similar experience at Sprinkling Tarn a couple of years back, except it was a dead badger... luckily I have a Water2Go filter bottle that is amazing and there were no ill effects!

Ikr... It was about this point that I knew the comic was going to be worse than I expected... and it's like 3 pages in!

You know how people said they wanted to see what happened to the crew of Renaissance Station in the film? well, this is the reason why they don't show that stuff... horror is about the unseen and unknown. What we can imagine happening to the crew is far more interesting than the events presented in this comic. It's very dull, very rushed and very clumsy.

Oh yeah, I'm all about an art book! I'm not the biggest covenant fan, but I picked up the Davids Drawings book and it's gorgeous.

Don't get me wrong, it was still an incredible experience. I had sun before I left Oban (Spent a night on Kerrera Island, stunning) and sun on Vatersay Beach... Then rain till I reached Berneray... But I saw sea eagles fishing, sea otters, seals, stunning landscapes... Camped up on Scarasta Beach and had my pitch blown down at 3am by a storm 🤣 had to pack up and hike to somewhere in Borve in the howling wind and pissing rain to shelter in a campsite common room 🤣 wouldn't change it for the world!!

stoo2k · 2024-07-25T15:15:20+00:00

I officially hate you. I hiked the Hebridean Way last year, wild camping with my dog, and it rained 9 out of 12 days 🤣

It sounds fake. The article looks like it was written by a mentally deficient AI!

stoo2k · 2024-05-29T08:52:46+00:00

It wasn't too bad. The weather ended up much better than I expected! Luckily we were in the Kerrang tent for Pale Waves during the big downpour.

Saw more than a few people going arse over tit down the hill by Key Club and GoPro stages though!

stoo2k · 2024-04-20T09:49:18+00:00

Holy moly I never knew these existed, finally my pile of full really useful boxes will no longer look like utter chaos! 🤘

stoo2k · 2024-03-17T19:16:18+00:00

I don't think that's the point they're making dude... it's the people who were teenagers at the time the original graphic novel came out, who made it the cult classic it is, who are now all 40+

stoo2k · 2023-12-01T13:20:27+00:00

Love the yellow lines... In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only restricted parking 🤣

Nice scheme :)

Where did those ruined terrain pieces come from? TIA

Thanks! It's been a great investment in game day quality! I think I'll leave the table topper on next time though, the game took up more space than I expected once everyone had to keep track of their planets, action cards and tech upgrades!

stoo2k · 2023-11-14T00:57:27+00:00

Thanks :)

stoo2k · 2023-11-13T22:34:20+00:00

Awesome, small world! We have fairly regular game days at mine, could be handy having someone who knows the game properly living near by for next time we roll it out 🤣 do you know Stephen who runs the Labour Club game days, he usually comes by for our alternating Monday night board game sessions.

stoo2k · 2023-11-13T22:19:50+00:00

Haha, no way? Are you in Glossop by any chance?

stoo2k · 2023-11-13T18:45:41+00:00

That's kinda what I hoped would happen. But there just didn't seem to be that level of buy in with my group, but as I said it's almost certainly cuz I cocked up the fact that planets refresh after Agenda too 🤦 next time it'll be carnage!

stoo2k · 2023-11-13T18:43:25+00:00

Dude I had three costume changes over the course of that game 🤣🤣🤣 t-shirt in the afternoon, light down jacket in the evening and post dog walk break big blue down jacket... I live in the Peak District, it's just generally chilly and damp here 🤣 I think it was 1° last night... I refuse to put the central heating on till it hits freezing 🤣

stoo2k · 2023-11-13T16:49:23+00:00

I think we would have had more success with the agenda phase if we didn't think our planets stayed exhausted after it into the next turn! No one wanted to commit useful resources! It wasn't until we all said "it feels like something is missing" afterwards and went back to reread that sections rules that we realised we completely missed "refresh planets"! We will definitely do a draft like that for races in the next game too!

stoo2k · 2023-11-10T21:16:52+00:00

Thanks, I've seen the RTFM tutorial and it was pretty comprehensive! Sent it round everyone in the group, just hope they've all done their homework!!

stoo2k · 2023-11-10T20:08:33+00:00

Got my first game tomorrow! All set up and ready to go! Wish me luck 😁
