Most unions have very limited power here. Some more than others. My union spends most of the time just trying not to lose any jobs. They do little to nothing about making our jobs better in any way. We are happy just not to lose more ground.

Kolchak I can`t believe a country like the USA has poor Unions . I`ll give you an example , in the 2007 election the Liberal Party wanted to bring in work choice ( basically to screw the little fella with lower wages ) in stepped the UNIONS screwed them Greek style , even the Prime Minister lost his safe seat . they got chucked out by the scruff of there neck

we had a company called F..... Hardies , they had been using asbestos in there pipes . people were dying and they didn`t want to pay compensation so they went offshore to the the Netherlands .what did all the Unions do , they would not handle any of there stuff around Australia . since then they have put about $4 billion dollars in a special fund for compensation , there might have been another couple of billion thrown in .

Anyone watching probably has low expectations. But they have been brutal. At least some of the girls are pretty. The acting is porn bad though.

The acting is porn bad though.

At least that's normal for Clint Walker.

Cheyenne is one of my least favorite of the major TV Westerns.

 

[Kolchak357]

Lol

This season seems to be made for TV movies. Maybe they could slip in one of the two Kolchak made for TV movies (Night Stalker or Night Strangler).

Next week will be Terror Out Of The Sky, the made for TV sequel to The Savage Bees. It stars Dan Haggerty (sorry no bear).

 

[Citizen]

Or two hours of someone playing Night Stalker on Intellivision.

Trying to decide between it or the first season of TPA for PS4 now that it's being updated.

I've played it on ios and steam and it's pretty awesome. The AI is decent enough. You do have to buy the expansions separately tho, unless they're included in the sale. You really only need 2-3 expansions tho. You don't really want to play with all of them or it'd be kind of a mess.

Ended up getting it on Steam. the base game with the Reaper expansion. I put over 40 hours on it in two weeks. Just bought the whole thing with the Season Pass since it was on sale. It is awesome! Also I'd recommend checking out green man gaming for digital game buying. I saved a bunch getting all my Talisman stuff over there instead of buying directly from Steam. They always seem to have a promo code going in addition to regular sales. I got the base game plus the Reaper expansion for 25% off and then the Season Pass for 68% off.

Right on! What is your favorite combination of expansions so far? So far I only have the City, but played a couple others IRL and looking to add some more.

I remember the Tony Curtis Houdini movie. Haven’t seen it in ages. But loved it the first time I saw it.

It wasn’t very popular and didn’t last long, but I also enjoyed the 2016 TV series Houdini and Doyle. Check it out if you bump into it somewhere.

Penn & Teller Fool Us is a great show, on the topic of magic.

And then Masters of Illusion comes on and it's always some non-speaking act with a guy acting all overly dramatic to crappy generic new age music and I change the channel.

Well I started with just the base game and then added the Reaper expansion once I had a grasp on the game and saw all the base adventure and spell cards. Adding the Reaper expansion really expanded the game in terms of cards and the Reaper itself which can kill off characters with one dice roll. It also adds an alternate ending Dance Macabre which is fun. After many more hours I'd seen everything from the Reaper expansion so now I'm starting the Sacred Pool expansion. This one adds a lot of alignment cards so you can change your good/evil/neutral standing to get fate and heals easier. It also has cards that put graveyards on different places on the board. I guess it has stuff that helps out neutral characters as well because as you know if you're neutral it's harder to heal or get fate. This one also adds two endings,a judgement one where players vote if you're worthy or not and a end boss on the CoC. I've only played one game with The Sacred Pool expansion. I added it on top of the Reaper expansion but with the Reaper NPC turned off. So base game, Reaper cards and characters with Sacred Pool cards and characters. It wasn't the greatest though because I had some Bloodbath house rules turned on, only one Talisman in the Talisman deck and no healing while a character is on the CoC. Those rules are fine for the base game ending but when you start getting into the expansion endings it's best to turn those off. I always play with permanent death though, otherwise the game can drag.

So to answer your question the base game and Reaper expansion go really well together. The Sacred Pool is good too since it balances alignments but I haven't played with it enough to have a solid opinion on it. I'm just going to keep adding expansions once I've seen everything from the one I just added. Looking forward to the Dragon expansion because those cards and characters look pretty cool and The City so I can play as the Tavern Maid.

Oh, I did play the Firelands expansion with the free trial before I got everything and it was fun but I think it would work better after putting the board expansions on. I played that with the base game and Reaper expansion. I ended up winning because the CPU got killed by a burning board space in the Outer Region even though he won the battle. Never got to a Firelands CoC ending, deadly expansion.
