We’re half-way through the Savage Tide adventure path! Isn’t that great?! Most of the PCs have reached about 12th level, which is a little low, but is the result of having 6 PCs. For the most part, I think they’re handling the challenges well enough. The last session was a bit more hairy than normal due to players being missing, but as Martin’s wizard PC … Continue reading Savage Tide musings
This post is actually a couple of weeks late – we’ve now had two sessions of the Star Wars Saga edition Dawn of Defiance campaign. For those who missed my musings on the character I’m playing, I’m playing a human noble based on Miles Vorkosigan. Of course, as soon as you get me playing a PC, you get lots of elements of my personality rather … Continue reading Star Wars: Dawn of Defiance is underway!
What do you do on Australia Day? Well, if you’re me, you get together with your friends and play a few boardgames. This was the first time we’d played at Craig’s place, which has advantage of being in a great position for me to get to, but the twin disadvantages of rarely being available… and needing a bigger table. Oh, the table was fine for all … Continue reading Boardgaming weekend
S20 “Joseph 351” is the first scenario in ASL SK#3, and the only one without tanks. However, it isn’t a simple scenario, and beginning ASL players would be well advised to begin learning the game with the much simpler scenarios in ASL SK#1. In the beginning of this scenario, the Germans have a hill. The Germans protect the hill Interestingly, the Germans don’t have to … Continue reading ASL SK#2 S20: Go the Russian POWs!
11 hours of gaming last Saturday, or thereabouts. Well, we probably took an hour off for tea. (Take that, Randy! ) Six of us, that is Mike, Rich, Josh, Mat, Craig and me. We got to play my new game of TransEuropa, my relatively new game of Drakon, my “I’m not that old honest”, game of Niagara, my really old game of Dune, and finish … Continue reading Saturday Session Reports
I’ve now written over 250 session reports on www.boardgamegeek.com. Wow. It was a fairly light weekend as far as gaming went – a couple of games of Battletech against Sarah on Friday; a game of Iron Heroes with Martin, Craig, Peggy and Adam on Friday night, and then some evening boardgames with Randy on Saturday night – Memoir ’44, Twilight Struggle, and Battletech. The Battletech … Continue reading 250 session reports!
Well, it began on Friday morning, when I took my “Science of Board-games” class through a quick game of Ticket to Ride. From there, I happily went to Sarah’s place for my second session of Star Wars Saga edition. Unfortunately, Adam had neglected to tell us that he wasn’t coming on account of the plague. So, Rob, Sarah and I had to play boardgames instead. … Continue reading Weekend games
Last Friday, I got to have my first session ever of Star Wars RPG: Saga edition. Cool. Of course, there were a few odd little things about how I ran it. First of all, I’m not actually really familiar with the rules yet. Trying to figure out Saga really gave me a glimpse of how a lot of the world deals with RPGs – they … Continue reading Friday gaming – Star Wars
How not to play War of the Ring (otherwise known as “Stupid, stupid Frodo”) I had a great time playing this game, but there were decisions I was making that I have no idea why I was… Continue reading How not to play War of the Ring
I’ve almost finished writing all the reports for the boardgame sessions I played over the weekend.
