The Abhorsen trilogy is based on a land of the unread separated from an almost 1930s England by The Wall. The Wall being defended from the unread by a type of interest army but with a little magic added in. One day I,'ll get round to gaming it.<br />Prince Lupushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13205758324137548941noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-12090308740902922692017-04-13T18:54:11.051+01:002017-04-13T18:54:11.051+01:00The Brontes are indeed calling to many I feel.Airf...The Brontes are indeed calling to many I feel.Airfix,and Sutcliff make a heady mix indeed.I too am a fan of The Phantom Tollbooth and the jumblies would be great fun too.I am glad to find another Postmodern Jukebox fan out there.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-2888689011411461292017-04-13T18:51:58.474+01:002017-04-13T18:51:58.474+01:00It seems to be based on a real event and the autho...It seems to be based on a real event and the author served in the NWF just before independence and partition.<br />nobbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02552663142940856622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-4329957109207324352017-04-13T18:51:20.875+01:002017-04-13T18:51:20.875+01:00I have thumbed the Toby Frost ones in local booksh...I have thumbed the Toby Frost ones in local bookshops and have been tempted.Good gaming material I agree.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-36467743397197509772017-04-13T18:50:11.492+01:002017-04-13T18:50:11.492+01:00Yet another one tempting me to read it.Yet another one tempting me to read it.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-61983754922912769862017-04-13T18:48:59.848+01:002017-04-13T18:48:59.848+01:00Great film and one of my late father's favouri...Great film and one of my late father's favourite books.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-9588005263373117292017-04-13T18:48:16.691+01:002017-04-13T18:48:16.691+01:00New book to me,I just looked it up and am very tem...New book to me,I just looked it up and am very tempted to read it.

The Brontes juvenilia tales of Angria, Gondal and Glass Town such as I've been working through on my blogposts. <br /><br />Inspiring book but difficult to game? The Eagle of The Ninth This and other Rosemary Sutcliff books also gave me a childhood interest in Romans and Celts (I had / still have some Airfix HO OO Romans, Britons and the Milecastle Fort). Asterix too also responsible for this. <br /><br />Dr. Who The Wargames - read rather than seen at the time - still working on these different interlocking historic battle worlds as a scenario. <br /><br />I also found or find Norton Juster's The Phantom Tollbooth fantasy land strangely compelling, very Edward Lear like. I think a bit of Lears fictional geography might creep into the Bronte Gaming. The Jumblies with their heads and hands of green and blue and their ridiculous navy of sieves ...<br /><br />The bizarre bits of Gullivers Travels with nations fighting over completely pointless things would be an interesting ImagiNations scenario. <br /><br />Great to see that you are enjoying Postmodern Jukebox too! Good TEDtalk by Scott Bradlee. Several singers like Robyn Adele Anderson now have their own channels / patreon pages on YouTube. Have been listening to them since about 2013 - Such a rich range of music genres and different singers / voices as well. Fabulous! Enjoy!

The Gun seems like a natural and I feel like I've seen a scenario based on it somewhere once upon a time.<br /><br />For me currently it's a number of sci-fi/space opera/tongue-in-cheek books, such as the Space Captain Smith series by Toby Frost. A few assorted "heroes" against evil galactic villains (whether an evil overlord and his or her minions or a horde of aliens bent on the destruction and/or enslavement of the "good guys").Fitz-Badgerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15510866929782142007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4798056059089761235.post-65324724220607983662017-04-12T16:27:17.412+01:002017-04-12T16:27:17.412+01:00Jannisaries by Pournelle.
