Issue 2, December. Edited by Daniel

Hello again folks! I am disappointed in you,
only two people have taken an interest in this publication. Paul
Shipman has started to write an article for the newsletter and Pete
Houston has worked out a way to make a cartoon strip. But first,
a report. Last month I went to my first games convention, Bifrost
2000.

RUMOURS
TG lives!: Apparently,
Target games has not died completely. They have a computer
games division which is still going strong. The Chronopia
and Warzone universes will be used in future computer games,
but I suspect their models will be hard to get hold of from
now on.

It was a cold Saturday morning (somewhere in
the region of 9am, I can't quite remember…) and my dad dropped me
off at the Green Man pub. There I waited for several minutes until
Pete arrived, along with fellow games punters Steve and their mate
Mike, who I later found out makes rude comments at every opportunity.
Anyway, they pulled up and I noticed Richard wasn't there, apparently
he wasn't coming because he spend all his money the month before
at Games Day. Oh well, more room in the car for us then. We spent
the journey chatting about various game related stuff (obviously)
mainly roleplay and old games that you just don't see anymore. When
we arrived we entered a small community hall and the smell of lead
and resin filled our nostrils. I rapidly paced along the stalls
lining the outside edge of the hall, I was fascinated by the amount
of figures, terrain and games that was not made by Games Workshop.

ANIMANIACS!!!
Pete Houston has discovered a way of making
a cartoon strip using the Southpark caricatures that are on
the club's site (you've all seen them!). All he needs to get
the strips rolling into this newsletter is plotlines. If anybody
has any amusing ideas for cartoon strips featuring club members
(and ideally set in the club hall as well), let either me
or Pete know about them. Cheers!

There were also loads of old White Dwarfs and
I got ten for a fiver (including the elusive issue 210, Yesss!).
I also came away with a small spaceship model and a Starship Troopers
warrior bug. We only spent a few hours there but I thoroughly enjoyed
the trip and I would advise all other members of the club to go
to games conventions like Bifrost, simply because they provide a
refreshing alternative to Games Workshop.

Artists required. I
am looking for anyone who can draw small pieces of artwork for my
Warhammer 40,000 roleplay game. I need lots of small, original drawings
(no bigger than a quarter of a page) depicting adventurers in the
40K universe. If anyone can create this type of good artwork, please
contact me through the normal channels. Daniel (editor).
Contributors required. If anyone has anything they want to say
about the club or the newsletter (or something in this section)
then simply email me at Carstein69@hotmail.com,
Daniel.
