Or however that saying goes. Another year come and gone and while a lot has happened, at least I’m pretty sure that a lot has happened, not much has really changed. Not enough to post about it seems which is strange since the tag for this blog is “daily minutiae” and you would think that that implies I post about just about every little thing. At least it does to me. I’ve let blog me down.
New year (well 10 months in to the new year anyway) and it’s time for a a blog post.
Just got through with a great weekend of gaming with friends. Since we won’t be attending BGGCon this year we felt we should attempt to at have some major gaming sessions to make up for it. Friday and Saturday were jam packed with games of all types from an epic 7 player Battlestar Galactica session that started much too late on Friday to even just a few quick games of Love Letter games of all types were played. I had the great fortune of playing in BSG and for once was not a cylon. The humans held out for a while but in the end humanity was not worthy of being victorious. Mistrust, backstabbing and greed were the typical responses by the humans while the Cylons tried to save us from ourselves. Frakkin’ toasters.
Let’s see if I can remember a rundown of all the games I was able to play.
Friday:
Koryŏ
Doomtown Reloaded
Settlers of Catan Card Game
Boss Monster
Alien Frontiers
Mascarade
Shadow Hunters
Battlestar Galactica
Doesn’t seem like a lot but that took up just about all of Friday and ran into about 2AM of Saturday. I think if I play BSG again it won’t be with 7 people at least not when the game starts after 9PM. Still a great game though and a very excellent start to BroCon 2014.
By the time I got back to BroCon on Saturday I was already feeling pretty worn out. The old gaming stamina ain’t what it used to be, but there were still plenty of games to be played.
Saturday:
Castles of Burgundy
Kingsburg
Cutthroat Caverns
Mission Red Planet
London
Pirate’s Cove
There could be one or two more that I’m missing since I was pretty sleepy most of the day. I soldiered on though like a good gamer though. Fatigue be damned!
I’ve also been trying to get back in to some more creative outlets like game design and writing (which I hope to practice here). I’d like to start chronicling my game design or writing efforts with the belief that it will help me process those idea and keep them at the forefront of my mind and focus my energies.
I won’t lie and lead you on with the promise of more posts, but if you’re lucky there may be more than one per year.
-v- out.
