Underworld Oracle Issue 2

 Continuing with the Underworld Oracle series of Fanzines from the late 70s.

Here is Issue 2 from Sep/Oct 1977

Issue 2 has a White cardstock cover and white pages.  The printing is in Black apart from the centre pages where there is a Green overprint.  It has 24 pages.

This issue contained their first Halls of Testing mini Dungeon.  The purpose of these halls was to get an individual character up several levels in one session.  Usually because a player had lost a high level character and needed to catch up with the rest of the group.  This first one is aimed at Fighters.

Issue 2 was produced by Lou & Sarah Nisbit, Phil Alexander and Alex Sneddon with contributions from others.

Doom pimped up board

Image
 Doom This is for the original Doom boardgame (2004) by Fantasy Flight Games and not the revised Doom boardgame (2016) also by Fantasy Flight Games. This game is similar to Descent.  All I had to make were Doors and Room and Corridor floors. I used the Hirst Arts Sci-Fi Moulds 270-273 for the floors and 301, 302 for the walls/doors. I have yet to paint my figures.  Those in the photos were supplied by my friend Alan Forsyth.

Age of Sail Model Ships

 Various Figures for Age of Sail Wargaming I have various figures for my Age of Sail Wargames.  Some of them are cheap and cheerful, others are expensive works of art.  I have reviewed them for anyone wanting to know what they are like. Navwar Navwar 110, 74 and 38 mounted on card bases Navwar was started in the 1970's to provide affordable ship models for war gamers and that’s exactly what they do. For the price of one of the more expensive manufacturers models you can have 3 or 4 of these.  The ships are cast in a soft white metal and are supplied as a complete kit. Hull, Masts with sails, Bowsprit sail, Driver and ships boats.  They paint up fairly easily and can be rigged enough to look the part.

Masts & Sails The sail set provided is Easy Sail with courses furled an...

Dr Who Miniatures

 I had a good friend, Stuart, with whom I played the Doctor Who Miniatures wargame.  We both collected various Dr Who figures and pitted them against each other across various Alien landscapes.  Sadly he died of Cancer.  I inherited his figures and I have integrated them into my collection.  We both had a lot of figures by a company called Black Tree Design.  So in his honour I have decided to collect their entire Doctor Who range. Between us we had a lot of the 2nd, 3rd and 4th Doctor miniatures.  So I began buying 1st and 2nd Doctor minis to fill in the gaps and work forwards until I collected the set. I am storing the figures in A4 Decopatch boxes held in by foam. Box 1 The first box contains most of the 1st Doctor's Figures. Box 2 The second box contains the last few figures of the first Doctor, all the figures for the second Doctor and starts with the first few figures for the third Doctor. Box 3 The third box contains the last of the Third Doctor...
