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
A nice surprise when I got home today – Operations Magazine Special Issue #2 arrived, carrying with it “Beyond the Beaches” – an ASL Starter Kit bonus pack with a new board and 3 scenarios. OMSI2 itself contained some new PanzerBlitz scenarios along with the IGS game “Bravery in the Sand’ which has a very nice review on BGG. I need to play some of … Continue reading New bits and pieces

Another enjoyable weekend that was really somewhat overbusy – like most of my other weekends recently. I wasn’t able to do anything with the “Weekend in the Realms” D&D event. I managed to completely forget it was on, and I was busy with my other gaming anyway. I think Mick may have run a session this afternoon, but perhaps not. Thursday night was BattleTech night, … Continue reading Castle, Castle and Firsts
For those who are interested, my moderately inaccurate session report of our last Star Wars session is now up on RPG Geek. We’re on to the penultimate adventure of the Dawn of Defiance! 🙂 Continue reading Seeking Master Denia
Fantasy Flight games call their big game boxes “Coffins”, and I’ve accumulated a few of them over the past few years: World of Warcraft, Starcraft, Twilight Imperium and Descent. I’m not playing enough of them. My new Descent dice (four new sets) arrived today, which should speed up our play of Descent greatly, and that’s a game I will be able to find players for … Continue reading Getting in the mood for some Coffin Games
I’ve spent the morning writing a few session reports covering the past couple of days of boardgaming. It’s been a fun weekend. For once, I’m not out on a Sunday, so I’m enjoying the relaxation. Yesterday, Randy, Josh, Rich and I gathered at Randy’s place for a few boardgames. The major new game we played was Last Train to Wensleydale, a game about shipping cheese … Continue reading A few session reports
I wasn’t able to play BattleLore last night, but I did manage to play both Space Hulk and Advanced Squad Leader. Space Hulk was a lot of fun. Randy and I were playing the second mission in the set, which requires the Space Marines to hold down two access points that the Genestealers are getting into the area. I sent three marines in one direction … Continue reading Space Hulk, Advanced Squad Leader
