Yesterday I took a quick journey to pick up from my purveyor of fine cardboard products my order of products that became available this weekend.

When I got there, there was an 8 person draft in full swing. After exchanging some pleasantries and other social interactions with the owner of the establishment, and a social participant of said event (who had already built their deck) I departed and headed off home. Not before stopping off at the local Aldi to pick up the milk I had been sent out for.

Although there was only 8 at this Saturday daytime draft event (and they are much more serious than the fun loving pre-release crowd, look at those sourpuss faces concentrating). Rumour on the street was that the FNM draft was rather well attended.

Once home having completed my mission and side quest, I set up and recorded some videos of me opening stuff. Yes you read that right there are more videos coming of me saying very little, and what I do say being boring as shite.

One thing I didn’t video was this, the 30th anniversary edition of the Star Wars RPG. This has finally arrived on the shelves of your FLGS. It was due last September time, so just a tad late.

I know FFG have their own Star Wars RPG series, but this is the original. I don’t remember playing it, I was more MERPs, Paranoia and a little D&D at Poly. But this is something we can look at for our new RPG group at Fenland Gamers at some point. We had our first game of that last Wednesday. I’m playing a halfling wizard (and I’ve found a miniature online of this combo,which just so happens to be on its way) called Dram. I’ve still to come up with a back story, and once I get my character sheet back I’ll introduce you to him. Just realised I’m going to have to paint my figure! A summer hols project.

This also arrived yesterday. These art books are pretty cool, especially if you are a MtG fan. They also along with plane shift rules allow you to run a D&D 5e campaign on the covered planes. So a great way to combine RPG and MtG (possibly – I’ve not tried them yet). Sadly the Dominaria Plane Shift hasn’t been released yet.

I have to admit I’d like to try this D&D and MtG mashup at least once. But I think I’d be more tempted to try and take this over to the FFG Genesys system. Although once again I’ve not played anything with this system yet. From my reading of the core rules I think it might be better suited. But the nice thing is these Plane Shift rules are free from WotC.

I’m ending this post with evidence that Nico Bolas is indeed the most powerful Planeswalker there is, with him sitting in front of the defeated Nicol Bolas.
