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. πΆ
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.
