School Starts! SurfMonkey Shines!!

Another summer has gone, and the games have slowed a bit; however, they never really stop. Maximan and I got the new Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions to the table a couple of times. Truth be told, I have been playing the Beta of the game and like it better than the cardboard. It's an interesting and tactical game. 

 We played a bit more Magic. That old chestnut. 

SurfMonkey and I met twice since school started. Once for our monthly meet up and once for the playdate we set up for our kids. The two Dormant Expandable Card Games we rolled were DragoBorne and Call of Cthulhu LCG (one of my top 5 favorite games). I won the DragoBorne game; he won the Call of Cthulhu game with a stunning surprise come from behind victory. 

I also introduced SurfMonkey to the Warhammer Age of Sigmar Champions game. We may not be getting that one back to the table.  

We also finally got our Vanguard decks to the table and played three cardfights. 

The Little Wizards Basement Gamers got together for a rousing game of D&D the other Saturday as well. A great time was had by all. Looking forward to the next time we can get together for an adventure!!

We eagerly await Keyforge to change our gaming lives forever. November can't get here fast enough!!

Looking forward to some autumn gaming as the weather slowly turns. I have a feeling a certain LCG will be hitting my table again soon. Until next time, sling some cards and wait patiently for Keyforge!

Cold Weather, Card Games, Star Wars Rebellion, SurfMonkey, StormBringer, Lit.tle Wizards Basement Gamers, and D&D

Busy gaming days, indeed! Thanksgiving came and Maximan and I played some more Call of Cthulhu LCG. I continue playing D&D at the Red Dragon Tabletop Game Society. 

Maximan received the excellent, epic Star Wars Rebellion for his birthday. We have two games under our belts, and each have a win. Great game!!

SurfMonkey and I have gotten together twice more since my last post. We played Final Fantasy TCG, Dragonball Super Card Game, and Buddyfight! I even played a game of Pokemon TCG vs. SurfMonkey's Boy.

The Little Wizards Basement Gamers, known for being players of Magic the Gathering, opted to return to the glorious days of our gaming past and bring out the polyhedral dice and pencils for them to check out D&D 5E!  I was very excited

Shackleroad phoned in through Google Hangouts, and Stormbringer made the trip down from Tiny House. We assembled at Flash's house: Orns, Grizzly, Shelrock, Lone Wolf, and Fairy Princess. A motley crew of gamers gathered about the table and ventured into the unknown. 

Using pre-generated characters, the new generation of the Agents of Harklecane embarked on a treasure-hunting mission in the Swordlands. I had an amazing time. I look forward to running a game for them again. 

Christmas break is almost upon us. More time for gaming incoming!! 'Tis the season for family, friends, and games, games, games!!

Games, SurfMonkey, and Winter is Coming

Tabletop Game Photo Dump from Mid-October until November 19, 2017: SurfMonkey (Twice!), Card Games (notably: Got CoC back to the table...Twice!), Imperial Assault, and D&D!! Awesome! Christmas is just around the corner...

Summer Gaming and the Return of SurfMonkey!!!

The end of June and through July, despite some unwanted demands on my free time, we have managed to get in a fair amount of gaming! We introduced the Alabama cousins to some good old D&D 5E. 

 Maximan and I resurrected one of all-time favorites: Call of Cthulhu LCG.

We got in a couple of games of our favorite 3 player expandable card game: Epic!

Always time for some Japanese TCGs! Maximan and I Cardfighting!

I used my Reign of Cthulhu minis for location markers for the penultimate chapter of the Dunwich Legacy campaign for Arkham Horror LCG. This chapter almost killed both investigators, but thanks to my own Pulp Action variations to the Chaos bag, they eked out survival by the barest margins. Then the final chapter found the investigators lost in time and space. Love this game!!

 

The boys get a little relaxing outside dice rolling in on a family excursion. 

I made a triumphant return to SurfMonkey's lair after a too long hiatus. We played the new Monopoly Gamer and a gantlet of DragoBorne TCG games in. Finally feels good to get this upcoming, exciting new TCG to the table in a serious way. Can't wait for my trial decks to arrive in August. 

Hopefully, we can resume monthly meet ups to sling cards and roll dice. Bring it on, SurfMonkey!!

In other news, I resumed playing in the online D&D game with the Starshield Gaming Society. It was good to get back into the dungeon!

Until next time, readers, sling those cards and chuck those dice. See you soon!
