I remember St. John from James Bond in A View to a Kill. I goes to Max Zorin's party and says his name is St. John-Smythe... but pronounced it as Sinjen-Smythe. That one always confused me

I need a moist towelette

Unless something cataclysmic happens we are looking at any time in the next 24-48 hours.

Looks purdy, thanks for the new photo! Looking better each time I see a little more.

Did Escher help with that promo shot though? Lots of pieces that confuse me as to whether they are laying flat, or raised high. I'm getting dizzy

I'm curious about those multicolored tubes/pipes that run down into the liquid. What exactly are they?

If they are pipes, and poor different liquids into the rivers to mix... are their also other running liquids? I see the red and green but what about blue, white, and combination or the colors?

If the liquid goes somewhere... are there large pools of liquid (like in Gothic Realms) or maybe large vats of glowing green acid like in all those great films?

Just trying to get a feel for the set as a whole.

Looks like industrial run off pipes or just raw waste pipes.

Or maybe there is a Wonka chocolate factory waiting to be explored

Couple o things about this set got me thinking:

1. The Nightwatch Platform looks like a set that could really benefit from 80lb Cover Stock instead of 110lb Cardstock. As I would believe the added thickness would improve stability all around. And there would be less warpage over time.

2. And it has been mentioned before, but I can see alot ALOt of great uses of magnets for this set. Especially to secure platforms & walkways.

3. It really is too bad that a lucrative manufacturing/distribution model could not be found for the pre-printed WWG sets. Because I think a starter set using the Nihtwatch Platform would be really great for the wargaming crowd. As a matter of fact, I think the small theme sets would benefit from this too: The latest example being the Harbour Master. But you could go back and start with the Maiden.

I've been dying all day to comment about Denny's comments on this set last night... but I can't. I have a little more respect for the WWG guys managing to keep things quiet until they are ready to speak... it's really hard!

I was to "burn the midnight oil" last night getting PCON online but the oil instead burned me and I fell asleep. I'm back at it, should be this evening. Sorry for the delay.

Good news Denny. Oblivion wipes me out sometimes too Thanks for the update though.

CCotD, you are playtesting? Very cool. Can you tell us what you are playtesting, and far more importantly, how I can get in on the action?

Arabin

Heh, well I'm primarily a PC gamer, but I do own a PS2 and and XBOX. I don't plan to get an XBOX 360 any time soon though, mainly because I barely play on the consoles I have, but also because it's getting too close to being a PC. For a lot of games, I love the modding side of things, and to do that, you really need a PC.

Arabin

getting back on topic: is it done yet, i need another set to want but not buy

p.s. i own a xbox360, ps2 and a gamecube

I was wondering the same thing... I can only imagine that a problem was encountered and is being fixed.

Will this be the set the doesn't need a patch?
