My other purchase today. I seem to be collecting age of sail games even though I never play them and in fact don't even have any ship minis.

Ok, Heroclix is more fun than I remembered.
Ok, Heroclix is more fun than I remembered. I dug out my old maps and downloaded the latest rules. The Turtles and Casey Jones (always my favorite) kicked the Foot's asses. A Foot ninja stabbed Leo early, then Shredder finished him off, but other than that the Turtles dominated. Casey Jones single-handedly took out Shredder due to bad positioning (no Mastermind) and rolling boxcars. Thumbs up.
Buying a box of TMNT Heroclix pays off. Still no starter sets available at my game store.

I have a bunch of jumbled thoughts about youth and influences based on the Minecraft D&D we’ve been playing at my house. I can’t really articulate them though. Maybe Tim Callahan has more thoughts based on his prior experience with kids, D&D, and Minecraft? My pre-D&D fantasy influences were the Hobbit (book and Rankin Bass), Thundarr, Zork, and some other stuff I’m not remembering, so pretty D&Dish either in being an original D&D influence, a derivative, or coming from the sword & sorcery tradition. My kids have Minecraft and…they’ve mostly seen superheroes and Star Wars in media. There aren’t a lot of swords and wizards running around outside of Adventure Time (which we haven’t watched…I know I know…) Anyway, it will be interesting to see where tabletop fantasy worlds go with kids growing up right now. They should be pretty ok with sandbox gaming since they’re used to these open world games.

Black Hack Minecraft DM'd by Abby.
Black Hack Minecraft DM'd by Abby. Level 2: Explosion Cave The rival villages of bunny farmers and sheep dyers hire Murr and Fighter Girl to investigate their missing animals. Each village blames the other for the disappearances. The twain headed for the cave but found some wolves accosting a farm. Murr cast sleep on them. Some hungry ocelots took advantage of this to attack Murr's mushroom-cow, Poptart, and try to kidnap Fighter Girl's ocelot, Sally. Fighter Girl refused to attack the ocelots, offering to get them a squid to eat instead. They agreed, and the ocelots gave the heroes a slime they killed. During the night, creepers attacked, but were defeated. With the gunpowder from their bodies Murr made two bombs. And we left it there because it was Coop's bath time.
It's time for some more Black Hack Minecraft!

Abby's first run at DMing was great!
Abby's first run at DMing was great! Rules were The Black Hack . Murr the Conjurer and Fighter Girl were hired by villagers to rescue Steve from the monsters from the cave. We met Julie and Kevin the explorers, fought "three levels" of monsters, and rescued Steve and Bob the traveler. Murr got knocked out once and is now disfigured.
Gonna try some Black Hack later today.

Abby asks me if she can download this game for her phone yesterday. She says she’s already played it on the website. Looks harmless and cute, so I say sure. I’m watching her play, some worms have names and some don’t. “You can put in a nickname but you don’t have to?” I say. “Yeah.” “You know not to put in your real name, right?” “Of course, Papa.” “Just checking.” “Some people do put inappropriate things for their name though.” “Oh really?” “Yeah, like this one person’s name was ‘Hitler did nothing wrong.’” “…” https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=air.com.hypah.io.slither&hl=en
