Wizards of the Coast have updated their online catalogue through to August 2010 with releases. I’m very pleased to see a number of adventures in the list. (Actually, Martin, if you run some D&D 4E for us this year, I’d love to actually play some 4e…) It’s been a very odd 2009: I’ve bought every book, but I really haven’t read them much. The Character Builder, … Continue reading 2010 D&D Releases
I’m just considering if I should make another order of BattleTech minis. Well, not if, but more “which Mechs do I need?”. On my list of Mechs to definitely get are the “reseen” Phoenix Hawk and Shadow Hawk, and the Longbow. But, which other Mechs? Currently, I own – in weight classes: Light Mechs Commando Jenner (x2) Panther Spider Wolfhound* Medium Mechs Assassin Cicada Clint … Continue reading BattleTech miniatures
Why is this an annual event? The latest round of pre-Christmas layoffs from Wizards of the Coast. I’ve seen four names mentioned: Rob Heinsoo, Stephen Radney-MacFarland, Logan Bonner and Chris Sims. I’m hoping that Stephen’s name has been added mistakenly, but bad news is rarely mistaken. The name I really can’t believe is there – with all apologies to you other fine people; you do … Continue reading This Christmas’s Horrible News from Wizards
You know how a couple of days I was being annoyed that Middle Earth Quest was terribly expensive? Well, I now own a copy – and it’s due to Good Games Ballarat getting it in (now the Australian dollar is better) and having a 15% off all boardgames sale. So, instead of costing $120-140, it only cost $95. We had a game this afternoon. First … Continue reading Middle Earth Quest
Woo – the 3060 Technical Readout for BattleTech has been sent to me. That’ll give me all the core TROs. 🙂 Continue reading 3060 TRO
We’ve just hit December, which means that the Good Games Ballarat Bloodbowl League will be running this month. Bloodbowl is a game of which I have little interest. It’s a miniature sport game by Games Workshop. Mind you, there are a fair number of people who do like the game. This Thursday, I wouldn’t be surprised if Sara and I end up playing BattleTech together whilst Derek, … Continue reading Bloodbowl, BattleTech, Boardgames and RPGs
I’ve been updating my boardgame wishlist, adding in links to the MilSims pages for those games that are available, and putting OOP/not out yet on the games that aren’t. With a few of the games that are available, I can see very much why I haven’t got them yet. Middle Earth Quest, a game that sounds like a lot of fun, is currently aus$121.50 – … Continue reading Wishlists
Woo – my very first metal BattleTech minis, which proved best value to get from the Paizo online store! Ten BattleTech minis that I now have to assemble and paint. Wait… why did I buy these again? Tonight, I also got to play the new version of Carcassonne – Wheel of Fortune – with Liam, Sarah and Daniel. Very nice variant. Oh, and a game … Continue reading Ooh – Minis! Thank you Paizo!
I’ve now been in possession of my new laptop for a few months and, it seems, one of the primary reasons I bought it was to watch DVDs on it rather than on my television set. Hmm. It’s not like I’m doing this in a different room than the TV – it’s right there – but having a widescreen on the laptop does make some … Continue reading Why did I get my new laptop?
The Wizards of the Coast have made a lot of updates to the rulebooks this month. Don’t know if any of them affect our games, but just so you know. 🙂 Continue reading D&D – Bunches of updates
