Venerate the Living Emperor!

Sounds like we may be playing a little Dark Heresy...I ordered the core rulebook today.

Making Ladders

A Year of Frugal Gaming has some quick ladder building tips. I've used HO scale model railroad tracks before. You just can't have enough ladders, especially if you play Necromunda...

Agora: How Shall We Live?

I heard about Agora on the Master Plan podcast, and thought it sounded interesting. You're actually simulating the construction of a society from one of several colonies on a distant planet. It's framed that you're roleplaying the ideologue leader of your faction, but it looks like it's more faction than personally focused. I haven't looked at it too closely, but it reminded me of a Sci-Fi version Dawn of Worlds, although it looks more complicated.

What I Have Been Doing

Updates have obviously trickled dry after a nice little run as life caught up with me. I have three kids, the youngest of which just turned one, and they can be quite a handful. In the last month since my last post, I managed to play in a game of Red November, which I found fun. I thought the rules were a bit ambiguous in places, but probably with a few plays through to sort that out, it would make for a quick, fun game. I got in a couple of games of our monthly 3.5 D&D game, as well as the online GURPS game I participate in (I'm Tonim). I even ran a game of Spirit of the Century. I also finished the Dan Abnett Ravenor trilogy. Looking at that, I guess my gaming life hasn't been the wasteland it's felt the last couple months. I mean, it's almost May, and I've only painted just 14-15 figures, less than four figures a month!!

Unboxing Zombies

More Warlands

Mik has more Warlands in a game we threw together this week.

Substantial Reaper Price Decrease

Let me just scoop TMP and TGN and point out that Reaper is announcing a "substantial" price decrease starting 3/30. Awesome! Hopefully, this will cause more manufacturers to follow their "lead." Haww, that's funny!!!

The Word on Third

Scott Pyle is "pretty much working every day on SuperSystem 3rd edition."

AE Bounty

Miniature Peddler has posted some pictures of upcoming figures from Darksun Designs, makers of AE-WWII. They could be interesting-- I think it depends on the rest of the figures. They do look a tad cartoony, but that's not necessarily bad. The same criticism could be leveled at the Spugs, and I really like them. So, something to keep an eye out for.

Warlands

Mik posted a game report of our recent Warlands night. We played two games and had fun with it. I intend to get some forces and play some more. There are also videos of two moves with rams and shooting. I may follow up and post more thoughts about it, but I'm tired and busy. Basically, I thought it was good and fun.

Four-Color Figures Blog

Scott Pyle of Superfigs and Chaos in Cairo (and other places) fame now has a blog.

Unboxing Warlands

My copy of Aberrant's Warlands "black box" arrived yesterday, and I've taken pictures of it as it came out of the box.
