Having a look at fantasy miniatures - coming to the inescapable conclusion that modern fantasy miniatures are too damn good.

Ain't it the truth. I'm in the process of selecting figures for Joe McCullough's RPGS style spin off from Frostgrave, Rangers of Shadow Deep. I'm determined not to have any naff figures in it, no chain mail bikini wearing girlies either.

Got something against chain mail bikini wearing girlies?

If you have something against chainmail clad girlies it usually leads to chafing!

Toughen up my lad!

With my piercings it would probably lead to bolt croppers...

I don't want to even imagine.

When my older son came home from primary school and said his class was adopting an impala and needed a name for it, I was surprised that my suggestion of Vlad didn't get used.

Seconded.

In a Runequest campaign my character was a warrior duck called, obviously, Al Orange.

We had his close relative as a NPC: Duke De L'Orange

I do a Runequest campaign a couple of times a year with a bunch of old Frothers, although I missed this Autumn’s session this weekend due to diary clashes, and we’ve drifted into Cuthulu in the past. It’s good fun, especially as the RQ ref (the rather gifted painter Roy Duffy) has a suitably twisted mind and frequently bases the scenarios on films. Also, I get to touch Duff’s miniatures
