The streets echo with the mixed sounds of cracking gunfire and fallen bullet casings. It is the sound of a small well armed army led by the very large and slightly unstable General Genocide. No job is too dirty and no bank too small for the General and his crackshot soldiers of misfortune. With a group of men willing to die for such a maniac, there is nowhere to hide in the City of Villians on the ill-prepared Justice server.
Sunday afternoon Cole, Sean and Tamara (all show here) along with Samantha, Jason, David and myself (off camera) gathered to play my new board game, Arkham Horror. The game (based on H. P. Lovecraft's horror fiction) involved a group of investigators exploring the fictitious town of Arkham in an attempt to thwart the evil elder gods from dooming the populous. The production value was top notch with creepy illustrations and chilling descriptions straight from Lovecraft's works. At first the game seemed VERY complicated but we slowly started to figure it out after several rounds of play.
Unfortunately, we had to end the game prematurely so we never got to see if Shub-Niggurath (i.e. The Black Goat of the Woods with a Thousand Young) would emerge from a dark portal to devour us all. Oh well, there's always next time!
