So, it has been a long time since I have gotten around to posting on the blog. (Over a year maybe?) That being said, I am once again going to try and do this regularly as an exercise in writing and keeping track of my gaming acumen.
Video Gaming:
Right now, all I am playing is Mechwarrior Online. It is partially a nostalgic thing for me due to my introduction to PC gaming being on Mechwarrior 2 back when I was 14. Currently, the meta is all about jumping up above hills, firing a lot of direct fire instant damage weapons, and dropping back down. It's a little sad, but I imagine the meta will shift eventually. Honestly, it is a great free to play game (still in beta) and if you like the genre, (simulator FPS) I highly recommend it.
Roleplaying:
Fantasy: (This is our sometimes game that we play when certain members aren't there.) Our super-GM Vaden runs this game. We have been playing it on and off for 6 years. There is metric crap tons of character development. It is a very game-of-thrones-ish fantasy game run out of Gurps. People die, kingdoms are destroyed, PC's are mutilated and tortured. It's a great story, but can be hard to play and depressing depending on what happens.
Star Wars: (This is one of our Sunday Games.) I hacked together a Star Wars setting for the FATE system and have been running this. We are on session eight, and the game is going strong. I am really happy with the system, and the characters. More to come on this later in it's own post.
Supers: (This is our other Sunday Game.) Vaden (See Fantasy) is running a Superhero game for us where we are a very... talk-show sort of family. Andrew runs the Patriarch for the family who is ex-military, and wasn't there to raise his two kids, Doreen's character, and my character. Doreen's character is 5 years older than mine, and had a child when she was 16. My character also had a child at 16 while he was in jail from stealing cars. Misty's character is Doreen's and my character's cousin who's parents are both deceased, but she is only 15 while Doreen's character is early 30's and my character is late 20's. Andrea is playing Doreen's character's daughter who has serious mommy issues, and doesn't know who her father is. Shawn is playing my character's son who doesn't know that. He thinks he is just a cousin who's father is dead.
Dresden: (This is one of two weekday games.) Andrea is running this, and it is a long running investigatory game where we tend to muddle through things due to our inability to follow clues put in front of us. However, I feel like we are finally getting the hang of it, though inter party conflict is rife do to all of our differing interests.
7th Sea: (The other weekday game.) Vaden is running this, and we are a group of character's sponsored by a Montaigne noble investigating Cyrnith artifacts.
Tabletop:
Warhammer 40k: I am getting ready to attempt to sell all my Eldar. I have a lot, and am looking to just make a little quick cash.
Infinity: 28mm Sci-Fi Skirmish game. A lot of fun. I highly recommend it.
Malifaux: I am looking at getting into it. Seems like a great time.
That's it for today on my various gaming shenanigans. Will post more later.
