New.

Well... new life.

New girlfriend: shadygroves moved up from Florida late last summer. I am madly fond of her, and she puts up with me, which is more than I could reasonably expect. We spent a few happy months living with my sister in Woodstock, VT, until ( Read more... )

Yay! new post, too!

So I am disappointed! I read: "New character" and assumed you were in a new RPG, but alas, still warcrack.

So doing any other new gaming? (board, card, etc?)

Alas, no, no RPGs. Although one of the advantages of the new place is I actually have room to unpack some of the boxes which have been living in storage for God knows how long... so I'm seeing some of my old RPGs and wargames for the first time in years. Maybe I'll have an opportunity to get back into them again, who knows?

Haven't really been gaming much, sadly. I did find all (well, most of) my old cards, including the Decks O' Doom. Maybe some day.

I think when you unpack everything, you might get into it again.

All of my gaming of late has been board gaming. Fun, but I wish I had a rpg group. Lack of time, really.

You still have all of your old cards? I'm impressed!

Yesterday we brought back and unpacked a few more boxes of games. He taught me Robo-Rally. Oh my, so cute! He told me how he would play a hunter-bot, and instead of going after flags, he would go after all of you.

He is already planning which games to teach my twins, or at the very least my son.

Fish only played the hunter-killer variant a couple of times.

It's a great game, though, and I highly recommend it to practically everyone.

Re: Twonky! fishfoo July 14 2009, 18:31:13 UTC

... probably only played it a couple of times because I simply had too much time trying to ruin everyone else's fun, and they got ticked at me.

At any rate, I'm looking forward to corrupting a new generation of youth... err.. that is, introducing them to the wonderful wide world of stupid board games. RPGs are probably beyond us at this point, but I've found Triplanetary, Titan, RoboRally, Ogre/GEV, and a few other oldies but goodies. No telling yet whether or not I'll successfully corrupt them, but I certainly intend to try.

Re: Twonky! pxr5 July 15 2009, 18:20:44 UTC

I'd still say to try Titan via Colossus. Easier to manipulate than all those cardboard stacks :-)

Roborally certainly good to addict people.

Of late, of course, I've not done *any* roborally. Can't convince people that it's worth the setup.

(sigh.)

Re: Twonky! fishfoo July 20 2009, 20:21:30 UTC

Setup? RoboRally has setup? I just toss flags and virtual bots on the board, then deal out options to the other players, and we're good to go.

It's hardly ASL, folks.

Colossus would be a good idea, but we're short on computers. Only have two machines currently wired up, so.

At any rate, we started painting miniatures last night. Good times, good times.

Re: Twonky! shadygroves July 22 2009, 14:29:04 UTC

We have actually been having a really good time with this. Playing the game and now the painting. For some reason the Hulk X90 ended up pink.

In other news, I actually won a game of RoboRally the other night. Fish is still shaking his head at that one. *grins* <3 you!

Wish the weekend would get here so I could get out to get more brushes and paints.

Re: Twonky! shadygroves July 22 2009, 14:31:57 UTC

His new form of Setup is even easier. He suggests to Sarah that she set up the boards while he steps away and tells her not to use the waterboard. :)

Wish the miniatures would be done, so we could play again. Guess the week is too busy. Movie night tonight and tomorrow is trap shooting.
