:hmm:

The theme is conveyed well, and I didn't mind playing it.  It didn't engage me in terms of being an interesting or challenging game to play.  Good entertainment (if you like Firefly), not so good game.

Firefly bored me to tears, and I loved the series. It's not really a good game.

Thanks for the feedback. I'll put this on the back burner, then.

Unfortunately, I have to agree on Firefly, mainly because the game plays like a solitary game since no interaction between players is necessary. The latest expansion is supposed to fix it but I'm not willing to spend the money to find out.

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.

One of those five armies better be the 2nd Panzer.

Apparently GW is rye releasing Space Hulk,  though at $125 it is a little bit pricey.

CountDeMoney

Yeah, but it's going to get swept up fast, you watch.  I regret not grabbing it the first time around.

Anyway, looks like MMP wants to clean out the warehouse.

National Butterscotch Pudding Day Sale

Hello from MMP!

Friday, September 19th is National Butterscotch Pudding Day. Coincidentally, we happen to love butterscotch pudding here at MMP and in our opinion, the only thing better than a cup of creamy, brown sugar goodness with a dollop of fresh whipped cream is a National Butterscotch Pudding Day Sale from MMP!

Starting at 8 AM, Friday, September 19th, MMP will be offering a select number of our games in ziplock format. See below for the list of games. All the components are there, except the box and dice.

GW are so ridiculously overpriced. 125 bucks is insane, no matter how many cheap plastic minis they load the box with.

Space Hulk is *the* game of my childhood, though, alongside Hero Quest.

I didn't buy shit. That and all the good stuff was gone.

Agree on Firefly. Love the setting, game severely overwrought. Am selling my copy and looking for buyers. :)

We are playing the Prague campaign game now (although play is not exactly fast-paced), I have Fontenoy and Lobositz plus the Primer and Monmouth is on its way. This is the new Prussian black, this BAR thing.

Also Won by the Sword made its way here, but I am holding off on even opening it until they fix it.
Come writers and critics who prophesize with your pen, and keep your eyes wide the chance won't come again; but don't speak too soon for the wheel's still in spin, and there's no telling who that it's naming. For the loser now will be later to win, cause the times they are a-changin'. -- B Dylan

MMP's customer base is sillier than most.
