Advent Calendar 2011 - Day Thirteen Orcs in the Webbe wishes you a very Merry Christmas. Quite a while back on the Notables Yahoo Group I really liked the idea someone had about using character cards for Flintloque but did not have the time to create them for the scenarios published here on OITW. I needed something quicker. After many many attempts, curses and determination I came up with the following, a partly automated Flintloque 'Character Card Calculator' with twenty tabs, one for each of your squad. One thing I need to point out is that it was created with Microsoft Excel 2010 and may only work correctly with the 2007 and 2010 versions of Excel due to the additional merging and conditional formulas I have used in building it.

Advent Calendar 2011 - Day Twelve Orcs in the Webbe wishes you a very Merry Christmas. Many years ago, late one night in a crossfire of emails, I asked Mac Coxhead, Flintloque's co-creator, about the world of Firefight 1.0. He told me a little of it's background and hinted that it even shared a character with Flintloque. This year, after many years away from Valon, Mac kindly agreed to share with me the story he had referred to all that time ago... "Secret Lore"
