This weekend was a good one for gaming. Friday night saw our regular Star Wars Dawn of Defiance game resume. I’ve written up a mostly inaccurate session report on RPG Geek of what occurred, so you can read that if you’ve a mind to. Saturday saw a bizarre board game day where most of my gaming done was 2-player, even though we had about 8 … Continue reading Games, games, games
No Star Wars RPG last weekend, as the flu had hit Martin. I’m more than happy to not get infected, so Nathaniel and I went to the Friday night Magic booster draft at Good Games Ballarat. Alas, it wasn’t sanctioned (despite the 10 players), so my rating won’t have increased despite winning every round. (For those interested in such things, my current Limited rating is … Continue reading Weekend games
I’m now mostly over the cold I’ve had for the last week and a bit. Hooray! I was never happier that Martin cancelled Friday’s Star Wars session because it allowed me to recuperate a lot. Unfortunately, I had to cancel Thursday’s boardgaming session, which would have probably found Randy, Sarah and me playing Android. I was well enough on Saturday to get to the … Continue reading Weekend fun – Le Havre, Age of Empires, Magic
Saturday was a big day of gaming for me. It started out at noon, when I ran the first of two sessions of the D&D Worldwide Game Day. The first group was mostly members of my regular games (Nathaniel, Martin, Rich and Josh) along with one complete newbie – Liam (I don’t think he’s even a teenager yet, though I might be wrong). … Continue reading An exhausting Saturday
Le Havre is a port city in France. Le Havre is the new game from the designer of Agricola. Guess which one I now own? Yes, alas, I don’t own a town. However, in the stakes of really cool games, Le Havre is very close to the top. The game is about developing the port city: building or buying buildings, harvesting goods and then manufacturing them into more useful … Continue reading Le Havre
What’s in the box? Continue reading I’ve got a box!
Randy and I have been playing a few World War 2 games recently: Combat Commander: Pacific and Memoir ’44 (with the Campaign Book) in particular. Our game in the Pacific Theatre last night was dreadful for my marines: we were landing on a beach where Randy’s Japanese had a most incredible defensive structure. The initial landing saw the death of all three of the first … Continue reading Back in World War 2
I’ve been a bit busy recently. The good news is that I seem to be a little ahead of the game at work; I’ve sent a pile of report templates away to be proofread so it looks like I’ll actually be able to make them available in good time to the teachers. Yay! Sunday’s D&D session saw us almost reaching the end of Pyramid of … Continue reading Back and Forth
Well, MilSims have apparently sent me Arcane Power. Which means I’ll probably have it on Wednesday evening. That should make the arcanists in my D&D campaigns happy. We’ve got seven or eight encounters left in Pyramid of Shadows. It was a better session this weekend, although there wasn’t enough roleplaying with the Far Realm cultists to properly amuse Nate and Adam. Greg was hilarious playing … Continue reading Arcane Power
I’ve posted pictures of a large part of my game collection on multiply and on boardgamegeek. 🙂 I’m running out of room. No, can that, I’ve run out of room. Some time ago. Things are needing to go into storage now… Continue reading Game collection
