Vincent has come up with a rather neat new frame, Bigfoot: More about him here. Cheers Malcolm
Vincent Baker, Robert Bohl and Joshua Newman are kicking off an interesting new Mechaton campaign by adding some colour to their various factions. Their campaign background is (as the title of this post might give away) influenced by the Dune novels. Check out what’s going on over at anyway. Cheers Malc
