What's on your table right now?

Sounds like it's time for a new girlfriend.  O:-)

Does anyone own Shadows of Brimstone: Swamps of Death?

Really digging the Preacher character from that one, but it's a tad difficult to justify spending $80 just to get the one character. Though it does add a lot of cards to the other game.

I gotta go sell my stack of books to Half Price so I can make room...lol.

Yes.  I have both the base games.   

Haven't played it in awhile, although I've certainly been meaning to.  Wanted to get all the heroes painted up first, though. 


When you mix all the extra cards, monsters, etc of the two core sets the game feels a good deal more varied.  I'd say you get more variety in getting an extra core box than multiple add-on boxes for the same amount of money. 

Frankly, I think the smaller expansion boxes are pretty expensive for the content you get.  When compared to buying the other core box, those small box expansions look really pricey.

On the virtual table:

GMT's Great Battles of the Civil War:  Three Days of Gettysburg

I just wish that the designer wasn't such an ass - the game looks very enticing but I refuse to support him by purchasing any of his games.  Please don't escalate my comments; I think it's a beautiful game.

I know the designer is a jack@#ss, but I really like the series...the right balance of detail, realism and playability for me. 

I rationalize by remembering that games aren't just the product of the designer.  Plenty of other folks worked hard to make it happen.

11 books for less then $45.  Oh yeah!

LOL - when do you have time to go through all that?

I'm thinking of joining a local DnD group, but I gotta get the 5e of the Player's Handbook.

That's 2 rulebooks (the same book I bought 2 just to have multiple at the table and for $5 each that's not a lot), which if you've ever played basic/expert D&D you know the rules. The major changes are two: 1. ascending rather than decending armor class, and 2. no race class, so elves can be fighters, magic users, and thieves they are not the elf class.   I read the rulebook the other night online and it took like an hour.  About 1/2 is just monster/spell descriptions.  1 is the Field Guide, which is just an additional monster manual.  Look at it at some point when you want a new/unique monster.  8 are adventure modules, so again read when/if necessary.  But the reality is that the games are great, but the reading level is generally at the 4th grade level.  If you have trouble with that well my friend you have issues.  :D

I dunno. I haven't picked up an actual RPG book for actual play in a very, very long time.

Download the rulebook here: http://basicfantasy.org/downloads.html  I guarantee it'll take you an hour or so at most.

My reward for taking the dogs for a snowy walk at 11pm, and a check of the mailbox? the siege of Budapest.

Invoice, destroyed. Time to dig in...
