Anyone have news on EM4/Dice & Games?

Post by BaronVonWreckedoften »

I've been trying to get in touch with this mob for a few weeks now to get some bespoke dice made (I'm a previous customer), but cannot raise a peep out of their email, phone or on-line chat links. Anyone know what's going on with them?

I know Doug personally, but haven't spoken to him in a year. I'll see if I can get hold of him via back-channels. I know he's on Lead Adventure as 'Doug EM4' or something like that.

Thanks, Mark - let me know if he surfaces. The phone (shared with Dice & Games) sounds like it has been cut off.

I sadly seem to have lost all my contact details for Doug (probably died with the last phone). It also seems from a quick google that he retired from the business a while back, having handed it over to two new blokes.

Sorry that's not much help. :(

He was always a regular (sometime organiser) at the Devizes show though, if you're going there (I think it's in July)?

Thanks - unfortunately, all the methods of contact seem to be stalled at the moment, and the land line appears to be dead.

Could be a temporary thing while they change address or something, but unclear at the moment.

They've got in touch with me via the "chat line" and it's being sorted.

You're posting on the wrong forum again if it's your usual 'chat line'...

The hormone suppressant tablets/injections have rendered that one pretty much academic (although speaking of "academic" in my "Ronan the Librarian" guise I do still drop by the "librarian porn" sites, just for old times sakes and to check how everyone is getting on).
