Your box

Garbon will never have to worry about being snared by someone's box.

I got a paper catalog from Compass games today. While I took a shit, I drooled over some of the upcoming stuff.

[CountDeMoney]

They have a ton of juicy-looking stuff out this month and in the coming months. 

What concerns me is if they're going to be any good as polished products, they've never pushed out this much stuff in such a short time span.

[Ed Anger]

I'll never punch them to find out if they suck.

[CountDeMoney]

My shit's in storage and it's all ZOMG LULZ SEEDY DUDINT PLAY HIS GAMES but Ed gets a pass.  Fucking handicapped.

I dunno about Compass, some really strange topics and absurd prices for medium-sized games, at least over here. I am weary of buying from them and Decision...

My money goes to MMP almost exclusively now: special ops magazines, OCS, waiting for GCACW stuff, Line of Battle has a new one in the works. I've even started fantasizing about playing ASL.

Don't do it. You'll have to go to rehab.

Good man.  MMP is your friend.  Compass games do seem to be a little light on the component side, but from what I've seen so far they're good productions, and it's not like they're really cranking out monster games. I haven't read much out there in the way of what dogs their games are, especially compared to the car wrecks Decision puts out.

The only thing that irks me about MMP is how/why/? Starkweather left and took his wares to Compass, and how some of their non-system titles seem to have such a problem getting out of the preorder gate.  I was really hoping the tactical-level Vietnam game would make it, if only to have an alternative tactical Vietnam game not done by Mark H. Walker or Lock n' Loaded.

I've even started fantasizing about playing ASL.

And why not:  the "core" modules have been coming out at a nice pace.  Next up:  Korea.

Spartacus supposedly was a bit of a problem rules wise but I didn't punch my game.

Now you're just dangling a baby over a railing, just because you can do it.
