You can have that board but we would have to pay the Editor protection money and store all his booze.

JJ!

Could you say that again? I didn't quite get the name straight.

Was that the new rules set for Cthulhoid Female Religious Orders, "Mad Gods With Nuns?"

Sorry, the old ears aren't what they used to be….

Oh, and I would favor a board dedicated to Gangster And P.I. Games 17 out of 17 times.

LOL…seems I hit a nerve…funny thing is we used Mad dogs with Guns rules. I found them quick and easy to play and the terrain supplied by the game master was outstanding.
