the first time we played i thought i had a solid strategy of snatching up all the churches i could. (cloisters or whatever they call them) not realizing how many gaps there would be in the board at game's end. i didn't get a single church "completed". my kids spend pretty much the whole game building tiny "insta-cities" and fighting over roads. they trounced me solidly. not so clever after all.
I had the mobile version before we got the actual game, so I'd had some practice. We've played four or five times and she's come close before, but never won. She was pretty happy tonight.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
surprisingly cool game. we got a copy for christmas.
ReplyDelete"Surprisingly cool" is a good way to put it.
