SurfMonkey, Autumn Games, and KEYFORGE ARRIVES!!!

Fall is here, hear the yell...of Arkham Horror the Card Game hitting the table. As I usually do around the this time every year, I got one of my all time favorite games to the table solo style. I played the Return to the Night of Zealot campaign all the way through with Roland Banks and Wendy Adams. 

It was a nice trip down memory lane. The replacement elements of the Return campaign did freshen up the experience. I particularly had fun trying different decisions than I made in my first time through all those games ago. 

We did, however, sacrifice Lita again. Sorry, Lita. This game still continues to be a fun experience for me. And I also finally bought the awesome big player mat from FFG to be the background for my creepy, insanity-inducing adventures. 

AND NOW THE MOMENT I HAVE BEEN WAITING FOR!!!!! KEYFORGE ARRIVES!!

SurfMonkey got an early copy from somewhere on the Internet. It was glorious. 

 Oh, yeah, and we also continued our Dormant Expandable Card Game event. This time up was Buddyfight. He won. 

We also tried out the new Transformers TCG. Pretty cool.

But back to Keyforge. We played his new deck against a print and play I had cobbled together. I think we split two games. 

Then we played some Cardfight!! Vanguard. I'm pretty sure he beat me at that as well. He was on a roll.

Fast forward to the Keyforge pre-release held by our FLGS, and I finally have my own Keyforge decks!!!!! Below is the very first Keyforge deck I ever opened, and our very first game of Keyforge with my own decks!!!! It was glorious!! I love it so much. I believe I may soon make an entire blog post about this amazing game when I receive all of my pre-ordered product. Until then, I'll be lost in the Crucible!

Thanks for visiting and until next time Forge those keys and may the chains never bind you!!

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!!

Summer Tabletop Gaming Winding Down...

Lots of gaming at home. Card battles against SurfMonkey. A Dunwich Legacy extravaganza at Tiny House with StormBringr. A ton of Example of Play solo D&D. All around great times with great friends and family. Summer may be coming to an end, but the tabletop will not be empty!

 Jasper's Homebrew dino builder game...

Thanks for viewing this pictorial history of August gaming. See you next time!

Summer Game Fun And Return to Origins!!

 All four of us took a family trip to Origins Game Fair in Columbus! We stayed with family both nights and had a great time all around. We gamed when we could and met Tom Vasel!

We played Hero Realms at The North Market and Codenames with Aunt Feecha and Uncle Joe!

Kia even got over 20,000 steps on Saturday of the con.

Looking forward to another trip to Origins in the future.

Before leaving for Origins, we got in a lot of gaming. Applesaurus resurrected Warhammer Invasion, and we have been having a blast with it. I finally have been able to explore the neutral factions. My Skaven deck swarmed the board!

Lots of Buddyfight, some Imperial Assault, some Hero Realms, some Cardfight! Vanguard, some solo The Black Hack on my part.

I also bought some boosters and the two new trial decks for Final Fantasy TCG at the Guardtower. 

Finally, Applesaurus and I finally got our Dragoborne TCG Demo decks to the table. I am cautiously optimistic about it. I enjoyed our playthrough--enough to pre-order the three trial decks. I hope Bushiroad keeps it supported. Fingers crossed because I am very excited for this game. 

That's all for now. I have been in touch with SurfMonkey. Looks like we have scheduled a game night after a hiatus. Also, I am to play Magic with the Little Wizards soon. I'll be back soon, folks. Thanks for reading and until next time, sling those cards and chuck those dice!
