This blog has been silent for a while. The last post talked about how I was packing up my sizable game collecting in preparation for a move. Well, we have moved to our new destination. However, we still do not have our stuff. In fact, we have been without our stuff for 48 days. I will not bore you with the effects sleeping on an air mattress is doing to my spine or how many cooking uses I have come up with for aluminum foil. We have been existing in a state of limbo, hitting the point where we have begun to think, "Perhaps we will never see our stuff again."
While all the lucky gamers are running around Gen Con looking at the new edition of Twilight Imperium or Paizo's new sci-fi rpg Starfinder, I sit in a bare room typing this post. I did bring my Magic the Gathering cards with me, as well as a copy of the new Conan rpg and my copy of Star Fleet Battles. I didn't pack the Magic cards because I wanted to have something to play while our stuff was in boxes, and the Conan rpg and Star Fleet Battles arrived in the mail after our belongings were carted off. However, without a table or a group, these games are sitting in the closet. Also, my energy has been drained by the move and it has been hard to think about gaming.
I am still playing two PBM games, Hyborian War and Starweb. I hope to head down to the local game stores and play some Magic, but right now we are at the mercy of other people's agendas and schedules. In fact, this move reminds me of an online Diplomacy game that I am playing. I have one Austrian army that is being pushed around between Italy and Turkey. Maybe one day I will get one of my home centers back, just like one day we may get our stuff delivered.
I hope this post leads to more. Good luck and good gaming to everyone!
