Star Wars Legion – Fleet Troopers
Going to be more than a few new miniature sets, thanks to the recent holidays. First up, we have a squad of Fleet Troopers, reinforcements for the Rebels (who desperately need more help). As usual, the models are detailed, but easy to assemble. Compared to my prior experience with Games Workshop, they might not be…

Dice everywhere
With our current Pathfinder game reaching high level characters (currently 17, approaching 18), it is becoming a much more common occurrence for 15 or more dice to be rolled at once for various spells and effects. As a result, several of the players have gathered large piles of dice to make the rolling a bit…

Assault on Xin-Shalast, Part 2
We continued the Pathfinder campaign conclusion, with the second part of the assault on Karzoug’s citadel. The group managed to finish off their first encounter with a full power Rune Giant, and then broke into the throne room, where they faced one of Karzoug’s generals. However, the battle was relatively quick, thanks to a well…

We will see how long the…

This particular location is a resource extraction site, popular with pirates (and thus good for combat), but it is also rather peaceful when you just stop and…

Elite: Dangerous
Making a return to a game that I have played off and on, with a bit of renewed interest. Fortunately, Elite is a bit older now, and my graphics card, though dated, can run the game very well on Ultra. Teamed up with my son, and potentially soon my other son, we are exploring the…

Zombicide
This last Sunday, we managed to play some more Zombicide: Black Plague, and wrapped up missions 6 and most of 7. Mission 6 was won in the first attempt, despite our lack of game time recently, everyone was working well together and the zombies could not catch up – though it did get a bit…
