Its Skirmish Saturday at the Vorpal Chainsword!
I convinced Mary to help me test out a game of Strange Aeons, a miniature skirmish game based around the Cthulhu Mythos. We played the introductory quickstart scenario, available here. Strange Aeons is a 1930s pulp minis game that pits government X-files agents ("Threshold", which we immediately renamed "Fringe") against cultists and their eldritch allies ("Lurkers"). I was able to convince Mary to play by telling her she got to play the Fringe agents.
