I woke up last night at about 4am and couldn’t get back to sleep for some reason. So I got up and played my first game of AH with the Dunwich Horror expansion. It didn’t take much time. So then I got online and wrote up the session report: A Tragedy in Seven Acts. That took more time than the game! It’s more story-telling in … Continue reading Sleepless in Arkham
The first is never get involved in a land war in Asia. The second, only slightly less well known, is this: http://www.boardgamegeek.com/geeklist/21425/page/1 You can find my entry on page 2. Continue reading You fell victim to one of the classic blunders!
Oh. It appears I’ve just been awarded another microbadge for writing 5 reviews on BGG. I’m now a “copper reviewer”. How many do I need before the next one? My good, dear friend Randy (said in a Londo Mollari accent) is also becoming notorious as a writer of Starship Trooper session reports on bgg. Cool! Someone even started a thread about them… http://www.boardgamegeek.com/thread/165094 Oh, and … Continue reading A fifth microbadge?
Well, I now have my fourth microgeekbadge at boardgamegeek. Any guesses as to what it is? (Hint: not a game) Oh, and I’ve just bought 3 days worth of no ads at bgg. (Cost me 3 GG, or my review of Curse of the Dark Pharaoh. Bliss! The site loads much faster without them!) Cheers,Merric Continue reading Fourth microgeekbadge!
I’ve just posted a review of Niagara on bgg, a light Eurogame I’m quite fond of. That takes my count of reviews on bgg to the total of 4! Hmm. Still a way to go to challenge Tom Vasel. (No, I’m not going to even get close). I’m somewhere between page 12 and 15 of the most active reviewers on bgg. That I can improve, … Continue reading Posted a new review
Saturday was odd for me. I went to Sarah’s house at 2pm, where we played a game of War of the Ring for 2-1/2 hours or so. After that, I hung around until 10pm, chatting with Dave, Daniel and Sarah about the Ulek campaign, how much fun we were having with D&D at the moment (they keep finding cool things in new Wizards books to … Continue reading Saturday – Cricket World Cup Final
Lots of boardgames, mostly. Runebound (solo) – quite a few games recently. Not the best solo game, but I’m getting used to the game this way. Arkham Horror (solo) – a lot of games recently. Probably one of the best solo games out there, although Arkham is destroyed a lot. 🙂 War of the Ring – two games down, one more coming up. Great wargame … Continue reading What I’m playing…
This isn’t the place I do most my posting. I primarily use merricb.multiply.com (mainly due to the calendar feature that really helps organise my gaming). Indeed, this post will probably appear on multiply at some point, to the vast confusion of those reading this first paragraph and wondering what it means. However, I was just posting on Mouseferatu’s page, and to do that I needed … Continue reading Random meanderings
My home computer has blown up, and it’ll be some weeks before I can get a replacement. I’ll be able to do minor site updates (and news) from work, but my e-mail is basically inaccessible. Urgh. More later. Continue reading Computer troubles…
