Mark's Devilry Afoot roster


Many years ago, Mark and I used to game at the same local club in the south of Sydney. In the years since, we both moved to opposite ends of the world, but he's continued to be a staunch play of several Irregular Wars rulesets and regular correspondent, sharing reports of his various miniature adventures to a small group of us - some of which I share (with permission) on this blog.

He recently sent through the roster of his Devilry Afoot hunters. While it could be seen as just a bit of book keeping, I think it's a lovely way of reviewing the rise and demise of the various characters and followers that have populated his reports over the past two years.

Sadly Blogger doesn't want to play ball with the formatting of the table, but it should be clear enough. ✊
