Dear Diary,
"This is your last chance, Jasco." Actually, really enjoyed Street Fighter: The Miniatures Game. Previous Jasco products haven't resonated with me, and Evil Dead was flat out terrible. But this one's a keeper. It took 2 years to deliver the all-in, but that time was spent well. The game plays efficiently and, as a fan of the video game, I dig the thematic inclusions.
Played Foundations of Rome and it might've won the weekend. Everybody loved it.
So, naturally, I have to paint it all now...
Also did a scenario of Chronicles of Time, 2400, with the in-laws. Interesting and fresh new dynamics which expand on the previous game, cybernetics! These Chronicles games are always a good time with large groups of people, especially "non-gamers."
And Mindclash never misses. But Perseverance doesnt really shine until episode 2.
And the Kingdom Death campaign continues. Probably the game I'm most into atm. 😶
Played Wonderland's War this weekend. It's a gorgeously produced bag builder and area control game that everyone really enjoyed. Haven't finished painting it but was too excited to play.
We're in the part of the timeline where a glut of boxes are showing up for games that I forgot I kickstarted 2 years ago.
Also introduced Hadrian's Wall to the in-laws. As predicted they loved it.
And the second wave of Solomon Kane hit. This is nonsense. I will probably never get to half of these boxes. I'm starting to lose the excitement I normally felt when these large campaign games delivered...
Some more Kingdom Death. Lantern Year 8 out of the way and have only managed to lose 2 survivors. The wife has grown so attached to hers that if any of them die I fear tables will be flipped and curses uttered.
We're still playing remotely with people half a continent away. The pandemic might have made remote setups a necessity, but the change might not be temporary - we're going to be playing physical games remotely with friends for quite a long time now, at least.
About to start a Lord of the Rings RPG campaign with a similar setup too. Looking forward to that one.
Played Wonder Book with the family. Quite a unique production, though the gameplay is pretty boilerplate. I'd recommend it for family game night but that's it.
Now, Constant Reader, you are caught up.
