Musings and marginalia from a freelance writer
Greetings Drekkheads,
In case you hadn’t heard, the Big Boss over at City Towers [ed. that’d be you, Frank] has announced the Cityverse’s first ever Painting Competition! You can enter 10 separate photos and the winner gets art prints, Promo Cards or a £75 gaming voucher to spend wherever you like. Already some pieces have started appearing…
[nb. I wonder if Frank will notice if I sneak in that two-tone Skatalite Calamis I’ve been talking about…]
One of the most splendiferous things has been seeing photos of The City of Kings reprint, Expansion Packs and Vadoran Gardens hitting people’s gaming tables. And now I get to join them!
I mean, just lookit…
It’s kinda weird to be sitting here, surrounded by miniatures and components and character boards, and realizing that these things are actually real! I remember writing about you!
So – well done to all the production, design, and logistics folk for working hard to get all these thousands of boxes to thousands of homes around the world. And thank you to the fans, Constant Readers, kittlings and drekkheads who’ve come along for the ride so far. You [yes, you] are what it has all been about, always.
And if thaaaat wasn’t enough excitement for one weekend, then consider this little morsel shared on tweetsville by Frank…

So, sometimes things like this happen.
Two games that I have worked on get reviewed at the same time by the boys over @ Polyhedron Collider gaming podcast. And, to make it even more eye-wateringly strange they also devote half the show to talking about AD&D; a game I spent my formative years in.
If you want to hear what the inside of Ian’s head is like (which would be me, by the way), then this episode pretty much sums it up. I don’t know if that’s a good thing or a bad thing XD
A great show once again, reviewing Vadoran Gardens (the City of Games second game that is available right now over here on Kickstarter) and Rise to Nobility from Final Frontier Games shipping now.
Enjoy!
