And I'm back

It's been a lean couple of weeks gaming wise thanks to work and real life.

Still...a couple of recent thoughts.

1) Games Workshop - the evil empire and Daddy of 'em all had their Games day UK event a couple of weeks back. I went to Games day once upon a time (better part of 20 years ago...ouch) and enjoyed it. Apparently this year GW decided...no actual games. Just when you think you've seen it all from them...

2) As my interest in Malifaux has been pretty much killed off by Wyrd's antics - the latest being one of the designers admitting they'd made a stupid mistake because noone had pointed it out in the Beta (except they did...I know because it was me that did so) - I picked up Bushido. It looks cool and I started getting paint on metal (yay pewter!) over the weekend. Can't wait to get them on the table.

3) I periodically - every few years - get bit by the Magic bug. I've picked up a few cards with the aim of having a half decent deck or two and maybe drafting on occasion if I get the chance...nothing serious. Also, it may be a good father-son game and it's strong at my flgs. However, I found myself watching the webcast of their latest Pro event over the weekend and I bet when the designers get to work today they'll be a bit worried that the entire tournament was dominated by a new mechanic that is maybe a bit too good. Sounds horribly familiar as it happened last time I got bit too...

4) on MtG...i will always love their player classification system. I'm a shameless Johnny in nearly every system fwiw.
