Pennsylvania Pete and The Heart of Ra


In 1922 Howard Carter found the tomb of Tutankhamun.  At the same time a little known archeologist named Pennsylvania Pete discovered the tomb of King Tut’s brother, Two Ton Common.  Pennsylvania Pete led a group of archeologists and porters into the uncharted tomb.  

In the opening hallway, the team disturbs a group of mummies.

 Mary Rothchild, the leading Egyptologist of the group, discovers a parchment that states the Heart of Ra may be in this tomb.


The team decides to split up and explore the vast tomb network.



Pennsy, as he is known to his friends, hates snakes and is frozen in fear when he encounters a cobra.  His friend Jabbar Abdul Karim jumps into the fight.




Jeet Hada and Hassim stir up some tomb guards as they past the Hall of Mummies.

The party walks into a vast room of wonders.

 Snakes!!!!  I hate snakes……


Malcolm Crabtree starts to fight the cobra.

But Malcolm has a yellow streak in him and takes off in fright!!!!

The team reaches the tomb of Two Ton Common.

 A final clue leads to a secret chamber….and the owner of the Heart of Ra.

The mummy is vanquished.  Behold the Heart of Ra in Pennsylvania Pete’s hands.  Now can we get out of here?

 As the adventurers make their way out, they are confronted by the Fez Head Guardians.  Hassim falls in a hail of bullets.
 

 Pennsy and company get past the Fez Heads and now the tomb entrance is in sight.  But what kind of Pennsylvania Pete adventure would this be without his arch-enemies?  Nazis!!!  Pennsy hates those guys!!!


The group trounces the Nazis and makes their way out of the tomb to fame and fortune.  Stay tuned for more adventures of Pennsylvania Pete.

Cold Wars 2012

Here are some pics I took at Cold Wars last March.  Better late than never!

The game I ran on Thursday night:
Lake Ontario 1815- what if the war had lasted a little longer and the British and Americans finished constructing their Ships-of the-Line?




Prairie Grove- 1862





Looks like some Phil Viverito terrain- always excellent!

Mars? Victorian? Sci-fi? Steampunk? Colonial? ???





Napoleonics

Check Your Six!

The War of 1812



A Pete English game.  The battlefield was first used as a 'Red Dawn' type scenario, and was later used for Zombies.


I think this is Richard Heffners' Aerodrome game- which is a staple of any HMGS East Convention

My buddy Phil D'Amato's Check Your Six! game.
Sink the Bismarck!


Klobb ran a club game using the new Regimental Fire and Fury rules.





Collier playing his nerdy laser and mirror game- by himself.
Nice shirt though- Appalachian Brewing Company!
Another 1812 game.  When the battle got going, the game master put out the new flashing light volley doohickeys from Warlord Games.  And it looked AWESOME!



Pride of Lions- Splintered Light miniatures.



I think a big Napoleonics game.
Another club game run by Redarm (Chris).
Helena, Arkansas-1863


Vikings


The Cornfield- Antietam




More 1812




Gnome Wars




And yet more 1812 (it was the theme).  Small table, but beautiful terrain and troops.


Yes- more 1812!
Middle East something?  Possibly Ambush Alley rules.
Big ships- enough said.
