  1. Just checking in, I'm planning on being out at Guardian around 1PM.
  2. I'm fine with playing whatever, let's do it!
  3. OK, I think next Sunday would probably be the best for me. So long as we don't get another random snow storm!
  4. It doesn't help that it takes me around an hour to get down to GG anyway. So I need to plan these things.
  5. Shoot! I completely missed this thread saying people would be there Thursday. Plus I've got some personal issues going on I needed to tend to on Thursday. I'm planning on heading to GG tomorrow to browse and hang out. Probably in the afternoon. Otherwise I can try to get out there next Thursday.
  6. I have never played Star Fleet Battle, but played the video game versions of this. I was just the wrong age to get into the really fun games. I never got to play this, Car Wars, Silent Death... All I got was WH40k and some Star Wars RPG stuff! That said, I would be totally down to play SFB one day if someone would be willing to teach. I love the fluff of Star Trek and even read through the core rulebook (more or less) a couple months ago.
  7. So there are 2 games I've been playing pretty consistently recently: Caves of Qud - It's a roguelike RPG with very simple graphics, but deep gameplay. Currently in Early Access but constantly seeing improvements, it's worth buying on sale if you like post-apocalyptic RPGs. It has a fun feel and a lot of replayability. But if you need more of a pitch, here's this: The other game I've been playing is probably of more interest to the group here: Warhammer 40k: Sanctus Reach. It's a pretty good implementation of the tabletop rules into a PC format. While it only has 2 armies currently (Space Wolves and Orks), they are well-done. I haven't played 40k since 3rd edition, so I honestly don't know if it faithfully reproduces the tabletop game, but I know it really feels like a tabletop game. And while I'm no huge fan of Space Vikings, I do love Space Marines in general and love the feeling when my Terminators shrug off round after round of gretchin blunderbuss shot. It also lets you design and field your own army from a list of possibilities, which I always loved about the tabletop game.
  8. Nice, would anyone be able to run me through a quick game so I can get a feel for the rules and stuff before I sink money into mini's? My wife brought up the very good point that I haven't actually played yet.
  9. Great! Thanks! I'll start reading through the books. Are people still meeting up at GG on Thursday nights?
  10. I'm finally all settled in to our new place and stuff, so I can start thinking about the army I want to pull together. What rulebooks should I grab for French (early war French nationals and free French) forces? I've grabbed a book for later-war Russia (I think, at least). As well, Great War seems really interesting. I grabbed the rulebook for that too, has anyone actually played that at all? I bet it'd look beautiful on the table.
  11. Honestly I'd love to do some sort of interesting army, like French. French military (historically) was fairly decent tactically, just their logistics and strategy was utter balls. So it'd be neat to see a large number of Char's or whatever, see how they could do against other early-war stuff. If that's seriously awful and I would hate myself for playing it, the secondary choice would be Russian. I'll stop by some Thursday night in the near future and take you up on that offer. Sounds fun.
  12. who says that's not intentional (it's not, oh god gonna change it now)
  13. Whenever I go to Guardian Games I see the massive amounts of FoW stuff they have, and I've been slowly collecting rulebooks for the game. It seems like a pretty interesting system, is there a good group in Portland that plays it? I'd love to get in a demo game at some point to just see how it plays (I've played other historical mini's games in the past and they can be hit or miss), and just figure out what has a bunch of players and what doesn't.
  14. Very cool! I didn't realize there was a historical wargaming society out here.
  15. Does anyone actually play Deadzone? I've got a huge amount of stuff for it, including some unpainted terrain. I haven't unpacked it since the move, but if people want to play down at Guardian or something sometime I could be convinced to do so.
