Over the years it has seen an awful lot of bloodshed and given dozens of players tremendous enjoyment in a myriad of raids, counter raids, plots, battles, adventures, quests and hunts. In fact everything you can find in the best fantasy fiction. Eventually a quest started and continued despite the best efforts of John to kill off the characters in 42 episodes (evenings). The setting for Morval Earth is generally Medieval. In main human characters predominate but you can find dwarfs, goblins, elves and amazons to name but a few. In fact a look at the old and new catalogues of companies like Games Workshop, Citadel, Garrison, Grenadier, Ral Partha, Irregular, Lamming, Hinchliffe, Asgard and may others nearly forgotten. Hiding away are other creatures from free giveaways, dinosaurs and dragons.

Over the last few years there have been bloody revolutions,
tribal warfare and countless expeditions to the interior. In fact everything
you can find in the books and films on exploration and adventure.
History is important as are the writings of Edgar Rice Burroughs, Rider
Haggard and others.
Set in Victorian times the main characters are British, European and tribal. That is not to say that the Americans and Chinese do not appear. The figures are largely Foundry, Eureka, Honourable Lead Boiler Suit Company, Essex, Irregular, Dixon, Warrior and others. The land is inhabited by metal animals as well as plastic "toy" ones. Cardboard gunboats, canoes and dhows ply the water ways. The odd reckless "baloonatic" floats by and very occasionally a horseless carriage or other infernal contraption is seen. |
The myriad islands of the Morvalonesia archipelago are home
to adventurers, explorers, criminals, mad scientists, creatures that time
forgot, lost civilisations and cavewomen in fur bikinis. Indeed it is
just the place for Hollywood to make its B-Movies and for authors to write
pulp adventures.
Set fairly loosely in the period 1900 - 1939 the adventures the main characters are the Chinese settlers and the native inhabitants with a sprinkling of Europeans, Americans and others. The figures come from a wide variety of sources (as is usual with us). Many come from Bob Murch's excellent "Pulp Figures" ranges and from Mark Copplestone's excellent "Back of Beyond" and "High Adventure" ranges. Interestingly enough there is a crossover of figures from Morvalistan in this region. |
