Those bright bunnies among you may have noticed that the past months have seen us rather hectic with playtesting Sharp Practice v2.

Any news on a street date yet?
St George’s Day. Not long to wait. As soon as it is with the printer we will start taking advanced orders.
For those of us on the wrong side of the pond, how long afterward will EurekaUSA have them? I know it’s a bit soon to be asking, but I’m excited about these rules.
I Had to grab a copy as it came out on my Dearly departed Fathers’ Birthday .
Also the Characters names remind me of the skits from The 2 Ronnies a few years back . It featured people like Dan Jeroz , Zoltan Pepper , Walter Walcarpet , Phil Maglassop , Mahatt MiCoat . They are bound to bring on a smirk when rolling dice .
