Comrades!

Lots more to report on Mythic Russia

WEBSITE UPDATE

The website now has another preview: this time a worked-through example
of character creation, the Novgorodian militia captain Oleg Birch-Tall,
his feckless friend Sasha, his tuneful horse and his yearnings to see

DESIGNER'S BLOG

Thanks to Newt Newport, I now also have a blog, on which I can give
rather more discursive musings and updates on progress as well as ask
questions of the potential players. There's nothing much there yet, but
do visit from time to time:

PLAYTESTING

Speaking of playtesting, Newt will be running a couple of playtest
games and posting his own thoughts on the process on his own Mythic
Russia blog:

Also, Neil Smith will be running a playtest game at the thoroughly
excellent Tentacles convention, held next month in a splendid German
castle:

MOLNIYA MINIATURES

Can I give unsolicited plaudits to Molniya Miniatures, a small figure
manufacturers I can across by chance? They already produce some
wonderful 25-28mm Mongols of the Golden Horde, with Russians to follow
later this year, which I am looking forward to seeing:
