Batman returns with a new Robin

Hello Chaps and Chapette,

Long time, no...anything. But here I am again, with another update.

I've not long, got back from Birmingham. And the weekend event held there, called the UK Gaming Expo. Now this is the first time that I have been at a major event like this and worked. Monolith Editions had kindly asked me to demo their up and coming game Batman the BoardGame, which was a pleasure to teach. In fact I had such a wonderful time, I would do it again in a heart beat.

Reasons why would not only include the fact that everyone that played the game had a great time and gave a lot of positive feedback. I was surprised to see how unknown I was at the show, which was nice. Of course there were people that I had encountered before and had a good chat with, like Dan Hughes and Jon Purkis. Also had Sam Healey sit down to play with as well. But it was also the organizers at the Expo, although frustrated and tired, were extremely helpful and kind. Being a newbie to this sort of thing, I was always posing questions about this, that and the other. But they always got the the correct answer in the end, making my experience a joy, and not so stressful. So I would like to thank the whole team at the UK Expo...Thanx and see you next year.

Here are some of the video that were taken at the show...

I'd also like to give a big thank you to my co-workers Flavian Loisier and Mike Rudmann

Then on the return home there was more action in my household. The arrival of “Player 4.”

It's only been a few days since he was born, but he has already made a big impression on me and the rest of the family. And after many discussions of a name for him over the previous 3-4 months, it was the joke name for the bump in my wife's belly, that stuck...Robin. (Which, strangely ties in with Batman...Bizarre!)

So, where does this take us? Well, almost back to normality. Prototypes are arriving at my door as are Kickstarters that I backed last year, and gaming is starting multiply. So expect some reviews, previews and of course, the Double-Back monthly returning soon.

Until then, Ciao for now
