He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence.

ReplyDeleteYou are an inspiration.
ReplyDeleteLove it! I need to steal your roster sheet but the accessory fetish I have demands acrylic templates.
ReplyDeleteI’m most of the way through the book and I really like it!!

ReplyDeleteWhat kind of blank dice do you need?
ReplyDeleteThe game uses custom "skid" dice with symbols. But you can print labels to cut out and put on blank dice. Or just use a chart for a regular d6.
ReplyDeleteNice! I'd like to try this, as it looks like it could make up for a lack of new Car Wars. How are the rules?
ReplyDeleteHaven't played yet, but seem straightforward.
