MMP just banged me for something big, so it looks like I'm getting something in the mail this week.

Really need to review my preorder status with these game companies, what with limited funds... :unsure:

Women want me. Men want to be with me.

With the weather being shitty, I've been going through my games and getting a buying itch.

That new Dark Valley game from GMT looks....interesting.

Man, those counters are hard to read.

They're supposed to be naked women, right?

I ordered a bunch of crap related to Japan.

The medievals were only too right in taking nolo episcopari as the best reason a man could give to others for making him a bishop. Give me a king whose chief interest in life is stamps, railways, or race-horses; and who has the power to sack his Vizier (or whatever you care to call him) if he does not like the cut of his trousers.

Government is an abstract noun meaning the art and process of governing and it should be an offence to write it with a capital G or so as to refer to people.

Actual new board games news :

Got Martin Wallace's A Study in Emerald.  Cthulhu/Victorian/Sherlock Holmes-based deck-building game a la Dominion, but with way more interaction between players and a much better theme.  Read the short story by Neil Gaiman and you'll get a feel for the game's awesome setting.  I've played three times already and love it.

Also up on the docket : A Distant Plain, GMT's COIN-series game on Afghanistan.  Mostly got it because of the theme and because it got me free shipping for it and ASiE if I ordered it.  Trying it out via PBEM play at the moment.  No idea what I think about it just yet.

Turns out it was the Line of Battle series Gettysburg game.  Right into storage it went.  :lol:

Ed Anger

I wish Blood and Roses would hurry up. Daddy wants some hot English on English killin'.

CountDeMoney

Heh, I can have packages delivered straight to my storage unit place. 

This accomplishes two things: 
1) I can get all of MAH WERGAMES I want, and
2) I don't have to listen to Mom's bullshit about any of it.


Ed Anger

She doesn't like white on black SS counters either.
Stay Alive...Let the Man Drive

CountDeMoney

She used to throw them when she was mad.  Sometimes at me. 
Fuck if I'm going to let her have another crack at it.

It would appear someone at my bank is a wargamer.  :P
