Summer Is Fleeting. Games Are Heating Up!

Broke out Power Legion, statted some more heroes and villains, wrote some house rules for combat and armor, and played two scenarios. In the first scenario Gargoyle and Rage Zombie summoned the Dark Infernal from his ethereal prison house. Tough Girl, Talon, and The Resilient Sphere were there to stop them. However, the heroes were defeated. 

In the second scenario, the Unstoppables were at the Void prison to stop the Dark Infernal, Gargoyle, and Rage Zombie from breaking free their leader, Morlock. It was a tough battle, but in the end, the Unstoppables proved to be just that. 

SurfMonkey and I got together for card night where I introduced a new feature to our get-togethers. Dormant Expandable Card Game Random Chance. I made a list of the card games we own but don't play often or at all. We roll on a table at the beginning of the night and play the game rolled. Then we go on to play what we planned for the rest of the evening. This time around, we rolled Warhammer 40K Conquest. After that, we played Cardfight Vanguard and Dragonball Super Card Game. SurfMonkey had a good night. 

Maximan and I have been exploring Crystal Clans further as well as had a chance to play a game of the new Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions TCG. Both are great games. I am looking forward to playing both games more. 

Then Holy Crap! Fantasy Flight Games dropped an industry-changing announcement at Gen Con. Richard Garfield has designed a unique deck game (the first of its kind) and will unleash it on the world in November. I am beyond excited about this innovative and exciting game. It's like it's 1993 all over again. This has the potential to become as big as Magic; it's that game changing. 

I have my pre orders in. Can't wait!!

SurfMonkey and StormBringer!! And So Many Summer Games!!

Lots of Warhammer Invasion!! I played every Hidden Kingdoms race. 

There was even D&D 5E with the Alabama cousins. 

 Card night with SurfMonkey. Cardfights and Dragonball Super Card Game!

 New Crystal Clans clans!

 Stormbringer and I finish the Dunwich Legacy...or should I say, it finishes us!!

 Introduced StormBringer to the Crystal Clans!

 SurfMonkey, StormBringer, and I take down a difficult Dead of Winter scenario!!

 I was in the mood for some Power Legion!!

Summer is flying. Trying to get in as many games as I can! Been playing some solo 4 Against Darkness. Even made it to 4 Against the Abyss. We teleported out before the big boss. Might go back in and take it down...if we can find it without dying first! Keep on chucking the dice and slinging the cards! See you next time!!

Power Legion is a Hit!

Finally got two games of Power Legion to the table. The first game Dinoboy played Alex Drake and Maximan played Ambush. I played Morlock and the Dark Infernal. All characters are statted in earlier posts.

The battle commenced with Ambush taking and firing from cover. She pretty much took out Morlock before he could do much. Dark Infernal closed with Alex Drake and the two pummeled and flamed each other until finally Alex Drake brought the heinous villain low.

The second game we played took place in a ruined city after an alien attack. There were craters everywhere (Newly bought Pegasus Hobbies terrain and on my new 2' x 3' Zuzzy Wounded City battle mat).

In this game we played 4 models to a side: The boys played the following heroes (all statted in a previous post except Stonewall whose stats are provided below): Dinoboy was playing Alex Drake and Freezer Burn, while Maximan was playing Stonewall and Ambush.

I played Lord Dominus, Ogre, Battle Ape, and K'Thund. Battle Ape's stats were published in a previous post the other three characters are below for your convenience.

Stonewall (606 pts.)

Here are some pics from the fight:

Battle Ape fell first having taken arrows from Ambush and an ice blast from Freezer Burn. He couldn't catch a break. Lord Dominus mind controlled Freezer Burn while K'Thund and Stonewall clashed. Stonewall eventually got the better of K'Thund (who had taken several arrows before closing with Stonewall), sending the beast to sleepy time land. Lord Dominus held out a bit longer having taken control of Stonewall, but a direct hit from Ambush ended his domination. Ogre stood until the very end, but finally fell under a pummeling from the heroes. 

In the games we used a Damage Effects Table I put together. If you are interested in using it in your own Power Legion games click HERE . I was really happy with how the table worked in combat. It added an extra layer of tension and structure to the damage roll.

In other news, we have brought X Wing to the table for a few skirmishes over the past couple of days. I forgot how fun this game is. Maximan is especially enamored with it. We just bought an E Wing at our FLGS. Here are some pictures of our dogfights. 

In the coming days there will be more games. Power Legion, X Wing? Who knows, but one thing for sure, the gaming table will be crowded. Until next time, dear reader, keep the dice rolling!
