So, I was poking about on DriveThruRPG and happened across Majestic 12 Games. Their catalog is impressive – they have games to address all of the genres in which I’m interested (and some in which I am not), and the systems purport to be universal – most including rules for creating your own in a [...]

So, with winter here, I’ve been playing video games.. or, well, trying to play video games. Fallout 2 doesn’t work under wine anymore.. or, rather, doesn’t work in any version of wine running under Ubuntu 10.04, which kind of suggests that it is an X problem.

I hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving and got plenty to eat. AB’s brined turkey recipe is quite good. The turkey was wonderfully seasoned and juicy. His cranberry sauce, not so much. It’s okay, but the Ocean Spray canned stuff is better. To go with it, we had stuffing doctored up with mushrooms and apples, [...]

The basic mechanics are very simple – anyone who is used to allocating command points and standard movement/line of sight/etc. type rules will be used to it. The use of preprinted cards for each unit (they apparently [...]

So, aside from the past month which has been a bit crazy, I’ve been painting again… The Chaos ships are painted dark green with a couple coats of black wash. The tanks are green and kind of a sand color, with appropriate highlights (treads, etc.) then black wash. The base is painted, and then after [...]

I thought I was doing well until my wife shot my Awesome in the head with an AC/20.

I haven’t been blogging much, because I’ve been keeping pretty busy. High points so far: Played in a 5150 (by Two Hour Wargames) game. As the name suggests, it is a pretty quick system, but I’d argue that it was only so quick because half the people knew how to play, and it is *very* [...]
