You can see the trailers for the latest Gamebook Adventure at the Tin Man Games channel as well as watch some interviews with the Tin Men and see what they like.

  1. Where's that video of Ian L as a postman? Seriously, I have really enjoyed this series of posts and it will be sad to see them come to an end. What will I read with my morning cuppa now?

    2. He did a cameo in a horror movie or whodunit (not sure which) that Russ Nicholson did some production artwork for. He did a pretty good job of being genially sinister!
