Thanks sounds good.
Hate to pay full retail from GMT though.  Goes against the upbringing and all.
The purpose of studying economics is not to acquire a set of ready-made answers to economic questions, but to learn how to avoid being deceived by economists.

Well, the Conan Kickstarter is over.

They asked for $80,000.-

They got $3,327,757.-

The final King's Pledge ($135.-) loot:


(+ a Warlock, and an iOS/Android app for rules, scenarios, and easier maintenance).

One of the stretch goals was a collector's edition box large enough to store all the stuff. :lol:

Again, it's an entry level game with a strong theme, so it'll be fun to play this with friends. And there's a plethora of additional (optional) content to be had as well, giving this some longevity.

Which did you get?
"there's a long tradition of insulting people we disagree with here, and I'll be damned if I listen to your entreaties otherwise."-OVB

"Obviously not a Berkut-commanded armored column.  They're not all brewing."- CdM

"We've reached one of our phase lines after the firefight and it smells bad—meaning it's a little bit suspicious... Could be an amb—".

Dropping the schtick once in a while is fine, you know.
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.

I will be dogsitting all weekend for a friend of my sister's, which means no PC or PS3, so I think I'll give the solo game a shot.

Huh - that one looks good.

I can't speak to that particular title--Habbaku may have it--but it seems to have a happy following over at BGG (Dave Dockter, Mr. Triumph of Chaos himself, wrote a glowing review), and Compass does make decent stuff, production-wise.
