I actually was too busy today to have
too much gaming related to report other than what I got in the mail
and what have been reading. I am nearly finished with "The
Mongoliad", although it is only book one and I have already
pre-ordered book two. I have been working a lot behind the scenes on
my alt-Rome and Alt-Egypt areas in my Garnia World campaign, with my
collaborators. Well, mostly I have been trying to bounce ideas off of
them and getting a lot of "Yep, sure, that sounds cool.",
when I was hoping for a little more thought provoking discussion.
But, it's been mostly via email, so I guess I should have expected
less.
I got home too late to take John to his
4th edition game too. He wasn't happy, but he took it well. I am
definitely playing something here on Saturday, with whoever shows up,
so that'll be good.
Anyway, here's my mail-
My wife insisted on this, and made me
buy it on Father's Day. I told her if she's making me buy expensive
miniatures from overseas it's put up or shut up time. She paints like
a pro when she wants to, it's getting her to do it that's the killer;
but she has a soft spot for animals and the cart put it over the top.
These guys I found on EBay, they're
from the same line and I am sneaking them into her queue. Dead men
are always useful as casualty markers for wargames, and I have
several sets of ancients rules; plus they make for good encounter
dressing in D&D games. I actually have more from this line yet to come.
This I was informed was worth it for
the pictures alone, especially at the scandalously low price I got it
for. It has clearly been sitting on a store shelf since it was
printed, it's brand new.
This I only include to show my interest
in reading actual histories and my studliness as a shopper, brand new
$4.00 including shipping.
