BASH Season

Well, seems like the only game I am playing these days in Bloodbowl. My brother's work schedule has really delayed our ability to continue the Marvel Heroic Roleplaying game by Margret Weis. We haven't touched the D&D Next Playtest materials. I haven't played a tabletop game of Warhammer, 40k, Battletech, or any of the miniature types games in over a year. Even my MMORPG excursions have been kinda stalled waiting for SWTOR to complete some kind of server merges. That being said, I absolutely- positively- kicked ass in our local Blood Bowl Online League. Finished this season in BASH with a 7-0 record. Next stop the championship. Hope Don isn't opposed to actually making another trophy. I really like the one I have in my game room from the Spring 2010 BASH Championship.

War Machines in Age of Sigmar

Well, I've been trying to figure this out because with a dwarf/elf army it becomes pretty important- usually like first turn important. After our first game it became apparent that war machines are very dangerous in Age of Sigmar. Something has me puzzled though- and it is part because of the streamlined rules and in part because of conflicting reports I've uncovered on the internet. Let's start at the beginning. WARSCROLLS & UNITS “All models are described by warscrolls, which provide all of the rules for using them in the game. You will need warscrolls for the models you want to use.” “Models fight in units. A unit can have one or more models, but cannot include models that use different warscrolls. A unit must be set up and finish any sort of move as a single group of models, with all models within 1" of at least one other model from their unit.” When I first read this it seemed very apparent that you would never have more than one unit in a warscroll.

D&D Next- again

So the good folks over at Wizards of the Coast released another playtest for D&D Next. You can sign up and download it here . I love the direction they are going with this edition in general. I suppose I will add some key points here and make some notes about likes and dislikes: Ranger doesn't have a weapon style. Now to me that has irked me. Every ranger was stuck between two weapon fighting and archery for the longest time. What if I don't want that? I am digging the fact they get spells in this edition too. Just a few little magical effects to toss around. Both he and the paladin get cool things to cast, but are primarily just mundane guys. Speaking of the paladin- now here we have a cool way to build a necromancer. I wish they hadn't dropped that specialty after the second playtest. He was kinda of neat twist, but I think the paladin is solid. Can definitely back up heal which is a groovy thing. But then again every one except the wizard currently has ...

WFB Rumors: End of Times and 9th Edition

Well the word is out on 9th edition: summary To me it sounds like a cool idea. I mean I can't speak for everyone. I can really understand someone looking at all these models they have and getting pretty upset that the miniatures they bought might not work the same. But let me wander down this path a bit. My brother and I got into the game a really long time ago (has it been thirty years). We didn't have a ton of money, but we started collecting. A lot of our gamer friends started collecting as well. Some of the earliest kits just didn't work and as time went on we had our struggles with collecting and staying current. Here is a brief list of a few of the biggest gripes from our standpoint. First off is units that just disappeared. Chaos dwarves with crossbows and Chaos Thugs with long bows disappeared. In the early days chaos was human, beastmen, and dwarf. Or at least you could have dwarven allies. Undead was a single faction. Collecting undead was super coo...
