The Mike Lung Gallery #91 - Casually Playing Fishing28

Back in November I finally discovered Fishing28, a set of rules for one man, a sea of fish, and a fight against nature. While I kept my games light-hearted, with a single Hawaiian gnome and a spear, taking his raft out to harvest Swedish Fish, I have found numerous blogs and posts from people custom making boats and fisherman for a high quality game. 

If I didn't expect friend of the blog and Award-Winning GM Mike Lung to fall in that latter category, I would have never mentioned it in pre-game during our Monday night Gamma World online game. 

First was a simple conversion, an extra German Peasant figure from Gnome Wars into a simple fisherman: 

And it has transformed into an entire world, complete with custom fish and the optional rules for rocks, birds, and predator fish. 


A good haul.... 

The Sea Monster 
I know he's gone done the rabbit whole (or frog hollow) when he sent me a second fisherman, customized from a Eureka figure: 


It's also a sign of a such a good but basic system, that, despite having such fabulous figures, his fisherman still drifted into the rocks, losing everything.   Let's hope that doesn't happen too often.
