Reiner Knizia's Samurai!

At our regular Wednesday evening gaming session the other night we dug out Reiner Knizia's Samurai board game and between 8.30pm and 11.30pm managed to get in 4 games!

It is a really good tactical game that seems to get more complex as you play it! The different strategies you can use to collect the winning pieces just seem to always be one step ahead of you.

Great game, well worth a try, and I keep meaning to buy my own copy (but when one of the regular group members owns it is it worth duplicating).

Interesting Pulp Style Model!

I have just seen this photo of a kit-bashed model, over at the Dark Roasted Blend blog!

Very alternate WWII looking, completely impractical, but great pulp fun all the same!
The sort of thing that would turn up in a Sky Captain, sequel!

Gary Gygax

Even though I have never really liked D&D I have been a keen role player for many years.

It is hard to imagine where the roleplaying hobby would be without Mr Gygax's work.

I don't think I have anything else to say, as there are many other people who can and will say more!

Thank-you Gary Gygax!
