I know I have not posted anything in quite a while. I have been gaming, but as I am helping play test a new set of rules I have been reluctant to post pictures as I do not have permission from the author. (Although I have noticed that other play testers have been posting pictures of their games.) The rules are tentatively called 100 Dice and is from Sergio Laslicia (and presumably, will be published by Ganesha Games).
I am also working on code at night, working on an idea for a gaming server. I cannot go into it much, but the basic idea is to create something along the lines of Days of Wonder's Memoir 44 Online. That has been taking up a lot of time.
Finally, I accidentally got sucked into Minecraft, which I find relaxing in many ways ... well until the Zombies, Skeletons, Creepers, and Spiders start swarming you, that is.
Hopefully I will get some games of Saga in soon, or at the very least something reportable.
My blog about my wargaming activities. I collect a lot of 15mm miniatures for the American War of Independence and so collect a lot of rules for this period. I started miniatures with Napoleonics, so I have a number of armies in 6mm and 15mm figures for skirmishing. I have15mm WW II figures that I use for Flames of War, Memoir '44, and someday, Poor Bloody Infantry. Finally there is my on-again, off-again relationship with paper soldiers that I sometimes write about.

About Me
- Dale
- Huachuca City, Arizona, United States
- I am 58 yrs old now. I bought a house in Huachuca City, AZ working for a software company for the last three years. To while away the hours I like to wargame -- with wooden, lead, and sometimes paper miniatures -- usually solo. Although I am a 'rules junkie', I almost always use rules of my own (I like to build upon others' ideas, but it seems like there is always something "missing" or "wrong").
No worries Dale, glad you are keeping busy and mostly having fun. Sorry I've been AWOL on the forum.
ReplyDeleteYou are gaming and that is not bad thing. You are also not in a rut, another great thing.
ReplyDeleteI must admit that I do check the blog occasionally just to make sure I have not missed a post via the RSS reader.
