Never done this before, but I just backed up a new Kickstarter game by Monte Cook: Numenera. I am quite excited about the game.
ULTIMATE EBOOK FAN: You get the PDF of the Numenera corebook, the PDF of the Player’s Guide, and the character creator app. You also get a PDF of an exclusive Numenera adventure available only to Kickstarter supporters. Lastly, you get a PDF version of every single product released as a part of the stretch goals.
It is that time of year again, when a group of roleplaying nerdies gather up for a full weekend, and go to the Finnish national park to roleplay. Let’s make this clear! No LARP! Pure old fashioned tabletop roleplaying, with snacks, meat and bewerages.
This year is also our Tenth Anniversary, of renting a cottage from the woods and playing there. No electrity, no water toalets, no TVs, no families, no distractions whatsoever. Just pens, papers and dice. Lets make this year special. Only seven days to go.
On this year’s menu we will have a Scion: Hero -game, Call of Cthulhu in the 1920s (run by me) -game, and some mystery game. Oh, I am so excited! I believe there will be some card playing with Bang! and Bilekuosi, too. There were also talks about trying out the Dungeons & Dragons playtest, if we have the time.
Just started playi
ng the latest Civilization V – Gods & Kings expansion. Nothing much yet to say, other than the faith system seems to be very interesting and the game seems to run more smoothly than before.
I started to play with the new Ruler Gustavus Adolphus (Kustaa Aadolf, as we finns would call him) – the Swedes. Also I am trying to be less aggressive than before, and the changes to the diplomacy system seems to support it!
I got also my copy of the Chaosium’s Basic Roleplaying Game -the hardbook edition. It is bigger and heftier than I expected. I was very positively dumbfound that it used metric system instead of the imperial standards. Didn’t expected that one. The book seems promising indeed, but lots of reading to do. Yes, this is what I do, I collect roleplaying game books.
The summer vacation is over, and back to work! l don’t want to. The winter is coming!
RopeCon 2012 is gone and I missed it again, as I have missed since its conception. This year I actually considered to go there with my son, but nevertheless we didn’t make it. Instead we bought Magic the Gathering deck builder’s box and builded several decks (black/blue, green, white and red). Last time I have played the game, was in the 1996 about 16 years ago.
My son got hang of the game, and surprised me with his english skills. He is now drawn to the game like a moth to the light. And I had forgotten how fun game it is. Some MtG gaming expected tonight!
