Very nice! I have been reliving childhood and reading the JD casebooks from volume 2 on (because Cursed Earth is included) and just finished vol 8, so I'm very interested in gaming Dredd. Through Judge Child, Block Mania and Apocalypse War I have been having a blast. I'd also forgotten how satirical the world was, and as an Adult appreciate some aspects even more. As a kid the strip seemed a real antidote to po-faced and humourless superheroes at the time, still seems to hold its own in this respect.
Do you get any Dredd Miniature games in? If so, does it play well? The idea of playing as a judge and having to arrest the opponent before being allowed to fire seems interesting, the campaign system sounds pretty robust too.

I really need to paint some perps now.

How many dreddies do you have now? It must be quite a few.

Block Mania was a regular event at our local game-geek convention back in the day at the FLGS. We'd get pretty loud, naturally. "Millhouse (stomp stomp) Nixon! Millhouse (stomp stomp) Nixon!"

@Konrad, Happy memories! I guess you mean the boardgame incarnation? I remember playing the Block Mania boardgame once and only once back in the day, it must have been Realms of Chaos era GW. I was about 16 or 17 and 3 of us were giving it a run through. Things got heated and the guy who owned the game threw his toys out of the pram when 2 of us ganged up on him and swept the board and pieces off the table in a fit of nerd rage. That was the end of our friendship and we never really saw eye to eye again! Worth it though.

Again, those minis are looking the business AGP. Am now midway through JD casefiles 12 on kindle. I've now passed the stories I read as a kid so it's all new to me. Again, If anyone is interested in playing the miniatures game please let me know! I have the rules and a couple of starter gangs. All Dredded up and no place to go as it were.

Hunnerds of the things. Still a few things to come through from the Lickstarter, but what I've posted here is about half the Justice Department - not including the Manta Prowl Tank. Then there's the street punks, ape gang, renegade robots, Cursed Earth muties, the Angel Gang, Sovs of East-Meg One, zombies, Dark Judges, ...

If you're looking for some Necromunda-type action, the game is rather good, even if you're not a Dredd fan.

That would be the boardgame. Oh man, nerd rage........ I was not there to witness it, but we had a guy at the FLGS throw a chair. This was a "grown" man. Good guy 99% of the time actually, just had that one (now legendary) temper tantrum.

The boardgame does indeed cause rage. I had Judge Death bang to rights for ... armed robbery or somesuch - a good, high-scoring arrest. Until some rotten fink played the card which meant it wasn't really Death, and it didn't count.
