Your game sucks...and so does mine.

OK, I'll admit it. I used to be somewhat of a junkie when it comes to reading online discussion boards about roleplaying games. On some level, it's nice to see that there are so many people who are passionate about a hobby that I love. However, it is sad to see the energy expended on edition wars and people slamming one another for their choice of games.

Of course, this sort of thing isn't limited to online forums.  I've heard and even been a part of discussions in games stores that have ended up devolving into litanies of reason that game X sucks.  It is of course seems to be the nature of fandom that people feel the need to elevate their choice while simultaneously denigrating the choices of others.

Finding the best game is easy. It's the game that lets you and your friends gather around a table, eating pizza and laughing while you explore places and times that have never been. It's the game that stokes the fires of your imagination while fostering cameraderie and a sense of shared accomplishment. It's the game that is fun for you, no matter what that game may be.  Except maybe Powers & Perils.  Man, that game baffles me. :-)

I always imagined that they preferred their coffee iced...

How many Mandalorians does it take to make a cup of coffee?  Boba Fett needs a cup of Joe!

Miniatures Monday

Never tell me the odds!


A Han Solo miniature from one of the sets that Grenadier did for the old West End Games d6 Star Wars RPG back in the 80's.  At one time I had a lot more of these, but I seem to have lost most of them over the years.  I wish I could find Chewbacca.

Star Wars Sunday

A bad day at the Great Pit of Carkoon!

The Lego Star Wars Desert Skiff is quite a nice kit.  The instructions are easy to follow, the parts are well organized, and best of all it comes with an awesome Boba Fett minifig with a cape!  It also includes, a Weequay skiff guard, Lando Calrissian in a skiff guard disguise, and Luke Skywalker.  It comes with a Sarlacc that can hold one unfortunate minifig in its mouth (hopefully not Boba Fett).  All in all, a nice easy to build kit that looks great and isn't overly expensive.

Miniatures Monday Redux

I made some adjustments to the helmet color scheme to better reflect the way it looked in Return of the Jedi

A pack mule laden with adventuring gear is lead deep into the bowels of the earth!
