Anders at our club asked me to demo the game since he was thinking about making a companion thing out of it for his Trail of Cthulhu RPG games – or something like that. So I dusted off some of my old demo game notes and profiles from a few years back at a convention here in Sweden. It's a custom scenario with two objectives. The main objectives is for the Threshold agents to destroy a weird cult stirring up some problems in the outback. The secondary objective was for the character of professor Armitage to enter the nearby crypt and dungeon crawl through it to find the Necronomicon – a book that only he can recognize. It was played on the usual 2x3' area that is standard for Strange Aeons. link

Very nice game, I couldn't tell from your description if it was more than a 2 player game. If so, how did you handle initiative with 2 players on a side? I've tried that before & it didn't work out too well. |

No it was a 1vs1 gane, I can't remember if I have run this game with more players on each side in the past – but yeah that would be tricky. |

@Bravo Two Zero, as far as I knew he has only lived in the UK when he was studying. @20thmaine, thanks :-) @blacksmith, actually they do sell some of their books as PDF. The expansion books, the core rulebook is only sold as a physical product. But that may change in the future, back a year or two ago they didn't sell anything in PDF format. @chuck 05, thanks I have 4 Fishmen from Uncle Mike's great models and I had a lot of fun painting them. You can see them all here (along with some other "sea monsters/creatures) : link |

Before the expansion books goes the core rulebook. I know there are many people like me, waiting for a pdf format release. |
