I had noble intentions
when I started this blog. However, I have not posted anything in a
long time and had even come to terms with the fact that I would let
the blog suffocate and die. Then I read a post over on Tenkar's Tavern where he said that he comes up with his ideas on the toilet
and that inspired me to continue.
When I started this blog,
some of my goals were to play ten new board games and two new rpgs (
new meaning that I have never played) and then write about those
games. I have played over ten new board games since then and I have played four new rpgs. I did not write about any one them. To
make up for that, I will now provide some highlights.
Best new board game I played this year:
Infiltration - This is a
cyberpunk heist game published by Fantasy Flight Games. The game is
filled with crazy cyber gadgets, computer hacking, and push your luck
mechanics. Thumbs up from me.
New rpgs I played this
year:
Psi-punk - This is a fudge-based game set in the future. People with psychic powers coexist
with computer hackers. I played in a session with the designer of the game. If you would like, you can watch a video of the session. It was fun and I would totally like to use these rules to run a game based on the Scanners movies. Scanners: 2250, where cybercops hunt down rogue psychics.
Supers - this is a rules-lite game
that I backed on Kickstarter. I ran a session of the play test rules
with some buddies. We were all comic book nerds and this game let us
shine. I am looking forward to the completed version.
That's all for now.
