Lady Georgiana is invited to a castle in Transylvania to be a royal representative at a wedding. But once she gets there, she sees stuff that seems to involve vampires. And that's before someone drops dead. What's really happening? Plenty of fun as always, although the book does have a bit of a slow start.

Subtitled Fortress Vader.

Remember that scene in Rogue One where Director Krennic visits Vader in his castle on a (I think) un-named planet? That planet was Mustafar: the planet where Obi-Wan defeated Vader, and where he was first encased in his suit of armour. This collection of stories deals with the creation of his fortress on that planet, a fortress that comes under attack from the locals who are not keen to see the Empire there.

"There comes the night when K is invited into a room in the Castle where he is repeatedly offered the answer to the quest which the narrative has set out to deny him, but this Is the moment in which he is overcome by the need to close his eyes and go to sleep, which he does. If this strikes you as not only true but inevitable in the world as you know it, Kafka is your man."

Village Attacks
Village Attacks
2018 | Horror, Miniatures
Burn the witch !
Village attacks is a tower defense style game but with a great and unique premise !
You are the bad guy and must defend your castle from peasants with there pitch forks and torches !
The production for this game is fantastic, the minis great and the gameplay fun .
Some negatives could be that there isnt a great deal of choices to be made and that it is pretty pricey ( but you do get alot )
