Finished...

Well yesterday I finally finished "Factotum" yesterday morning and enjoyed it greatly. I am sad in a way to have come to the end of the three books yet filled with loads of potentialities and possibilities for gaming- skirmish,battalion level and also naval.

I will concentrate for the moment on the skirmish level gaming with a view to some games over the next few months. figures to paint and rules to adapt and decide upon. I am very much looking forward to it...

Thank again to Mr Cornish for his fascinating and ever entrancing world...

Of Fetes and Fictlers...

I have just read this chapter of "Factotum" over coffee this morning and really found it gripping. Like the battle in "Lamplighter" upon the causeway this cries out for depiction on the tabletop at skirmish level...
Fictlers and strawheads would make an excellent band for "Songs of Blades..." or other skirmish rules. I have seen excellent 28mm scarecrows on the internet already. There is much potential here.
Mr Cornish can evoke a world with fascinating detail and convincing characters. He can also write fantastic action too! Hopefully 2011 will see some games on the tabletop here and elsewhere...
I am still amazed that no company has taken up Mr Cornish's world for a role playing game- it would work so well.
Oh, by the way, a Happy New Year from me to all our readers here at Lamplighter's Haven!
I imagine that you,like me, await more from Mr Cornish with bated breath this year .
