Fantasy Flight Games gets another license
Ok, we really didn’t see this one coming… Fantasy Flight Games (the game publisher that prints a bunch of great boardgames, like Arkham Horror, Descent and Starcraft) has just gained the rights to BattleLore from Days of Wonder. Wow! You can read more here. BoardGameGeek discusion here. FFG is already publishing a swag of interesting games (I can’t wait for the Battlestar Galacticagame), and they’ve … Continue reading Fantasy Flight Games gets another license
400th session report at Boardgamegeek!
I’ve just written my 400th session report to be posted on BoardGameGeek.com I feel pretty good about that. I’m still pretty far behind the person who has written the most session reports there; that would be Greg Schloesser, with over 2300 session reports (!), but I’m now in the top 5 session reporters. Another 105, and I’ll reach #4. The latest reports have been about … Continue reading 400th session report at Boardgamegeek!
Weekend gaming
Friday night’s Star Wars was cancelled on account of a party almost everyone (but me and the GM) were at, so instead I spent the night at home. Randy came to visit, and we played a few boardgames. Life is hard. We started with Battlelore, using the Scottish Wars expansion, and the Stirling Bridge scenario. That was fun – imagine if William Wallace was a … Continue reading Weekend gaming
Latest MilSims order…
I’m dangerous with a credit card… Mind you, a bunch of this is pre-ordering, stuff that won’t be out for a month or thereabouts, and I’m doing this to get the discount. However, I’ve got a feeling that I’ve been ordering so much from MilSims of late that they’re giving me a hefty discount anyway… about 15% or so. Eep. So, what did I order? … Continue reading Latest MilSims order…
Games, games, games
I’ve been busy buying new games – both RPG and board – in the last few weeks. My latest boardgame is World of Warcraft: The Adventure Game. I’ve just had a brief (incomplete) game of it with my students. There’s a lot to recommend it. 2-4 players, takes about 90-120 minutes, and plays a lot like a more complex version of Talisman. Downtime is pretty … Continue reading Games, games, games
Gaming stuff
John Farrell has added me to his page of Extended Stats from Boardgamegeek. It’s a really cool page that has a bunch of stuff, including “Games I should play soon”.Fun list. 🙂 There’s a couple of games there that I’ve actually played recently, but I hadn’t marked them down as played on BGG. Need to do so, I guess. More fun from BGG is the … Continue reading Gaming stuff
Weekend boardgaming
Josh, Rich and I gathered at Josh’s place for a little boardgaming last Saturday. I really should have been at ConVic with Randy, but I hadn’t properly scheduled my life. (Quite normal when it comes to conventions… it’s been years since I’ve been organised enough to attend one!) So, what games did we play? San Juan – Josh and I began with a game of … Continue reading Weekend boardgaming
New Games!
Well, Randy’s back from Melbourne (and ConVic), and he’s brought back a few games I wanted as well with him. We did a comparison recently of the # of games we have – Randy has more actual games than me, although our numbers are comparable on BGG. I just have lots & lots of expansions. So, it shouldn’t really surprise anyone that I just picked up … Continue reading New Games!
The current status of Advanced Squad Leader
I had a couple of queries on Gleemax about my ASL SK review that indicated a belief that ASL was dead and out of print. I certainly understand where that belief comes from… but it’s not actually true. It just isn’t supported by Avalon Hill any more! ASL is currently published by Multiman Publishing (MMP), under license from Hasbro (who now own Avalon Hill and … Continue reading The current status of Advanced Squad Leader
