My latest rules review looks at Witchfinder General (seems only appropriate seeing as it is Halloween). WG is ECW meets European folklore. A very enjoyable game, only downside is that it is OOP, and hard to track down link

In a discussion earlier this year, in which I was able to get a copy, the designer said that he had "future plans" to republish this. |

That's good news, fingers crossed that it comes to fruition. Thanks Murphy. |

Good news indeed, Murphy. My regular gaming mate and myself played Witchfinder a lot, a few years ago, and are just getting back into it. The scenarios have a high re-playability factor, and others can be created by kit-bashing Warhammer Skirmish scenarios, amongst others. Eric was going to bring out a supplement -more horrors, more scenarios; and I hope he does re-release the original game and follow up [big HINT Eric], or a least get the stuff up on Wargames Vault. |

I believe the designer had planned a supplement / addition to the game, but I don't think it ever saw publication. Does anyone know if it's still in development? |

The writer should put them out as a pdf on Wargame Vault. Any updated versions could be easily distributed in the future. |

There's a trickle down set of rules called Witchin'Hour hazardgamedesign.com/?page_id=77 The author*may* still have a few copies left try info@dashingdicegames.co.uk The supplement wasn't released, but I have heard rumours that the rules and supplement may surface at some point in the future |

If you like this game, there's a new one called "Devil in the Wilderness" you might be interested in (it's Salem-based – the author was a 17th century reenactor from the US): link It's very chaotic and fun! |

The author also knows his witch trial history. |
