Old Dwarf,
You would be surprised how many crazy chemists are out there in the world. I can't say I see it used much, but when I go to register it seems taken.

I'm a LNOE player. Just to put things in context, I'm not a big gamer (no Magic, Warhammer, or D&D in my background). I was (and still am deep down) a big comic nerd and would see the gamers all the time in college, but never got into it. The group I hang out with is more of a board game group (Killer Bunnies, Gloom, Settlers of Catan, Taboo, etc).

I was thinking back, I can't remember where I saw LNOE, but I've always been a horror movie fan, especially the zombie flicks. I had seen Zombies!, but wasn't that impressed. When I saw LNOE, for some reason it just clicked and I had to have it. I got a couple people interested, spread the fun to a few more, and we've been playing since. Not as much as I would like, but enough (game night coming up on Friday).

I haven't had much interest in ATOE. Not that it can't be fun game, but zombies are more our thing. One of my friends did buy Arkaham Horror for us recently, and we attempted to play last night, but I just don't see it as much fun as LNOE. Now Martians, they have some interest, so a third game would be welcome. I just hope they keep supporting LNOE and adding scenarios, heros, etc that keep the game great.

On a side note, I want to that you and all the regulars that have so much information and fun into this site. Makes it worth while. I'll see about adding some photos from this weekend to show how we roll with LNOE.
