Yay for Mutant City Blues!

I know it's far too late, and is a bit of gift-horse-mouth action, but I have to say that I like this image you've got here of the flying blue copcar in the rain waaaaayyy better than the cover you settled on for MCB. It'd be cool if, when you printed MCB in softcover (should that ever happen), you used this image for the book cover...

But the image issue is not going to stop me from getting it. Thanks to you and Robin for the game!

Btw, forgot to mention that like Viktor, I really like the image of the cop car, and second his request for the softcover and all. :)

I've just got the proof, so about 12 weeks, I'd guess.

I bet there are typos and broken links - but I'm sure I'll hear about it pretty soon.

For instance: the links to Robin's two columns appear to be inverted.

This most recent Pg. XX has the pregens for Murderer of Thomas Fell attributed to Kristian G. Madsen. Didn't I write those? Or are these alternate pregens?

Looking again, I can see he did them up in handout format. Would you like a credit?

Another chance to be associated with these games is a privilege I wouldn't turn down.

Hi,

I just transfered the provided characters in the scenario to character sheet/handout form. These were used by my game group when running the scenario this December, and then I passed them on to Simon.

All credit where credit is due -- thanks for the excellent scenario by the way, Will. It was very well received by our group!

"Now with more toons!"

[Rumours that this may resemble one of my old Cthulhu campaigns will be ignored.]

Well if we can't get the Mystic Moo horoscopes any more...
