It’s been a very very hectic week at work.
To say I’m knackered each evening is an understatement. My body is sore and stiff. And not in a good way! The harsh reality is I’m old. Well my body is. Somehow my mind still thinks it’s a teenager.
Not much gaming has been going on this month. If I was still sharing the stats each month they would be abysmal.
However a couple of Kickstarters have arrived, as have a couple of promos, a new rpg, and a rethemed game.
The Vaesen rpg bundle arrived or part of it did. It was missing the GM screen and map. So far I have not been overly impressed with the Free League customer support.
However another Free League rpg just arrived! Last year I did back The Lord of the Rings rpg The One Ring Second Edition on Kickstarter.
The level I backed it at got me the core rulebook, starters kit, and GM screen, plus a set of dice. However there appears to be an issue with the dice.
“Now, the dice. Sadly, we have realized that the Feat Dice (the twelve-sided ones) are misprinted, having the number 11 where there should just be a 1. The dice are of course still perfectly usable – just count the 11 as 1 (perhaps while exclaiming that you rolled eleventy-one!)” from a recent Free League The One Ring Second Edition Kickstarter backers update.
Free League have a solution. “We will reprint the faulty D12 Feat Dice and send them to all backers who want them, at no extra cost. We will offer you a choice of replacement Feat Dice or a 100 SEK personal discount voucher in our webshop.” from a more recent Free League The One Ring Second Edition Kickstarter backers update.
However the solution will take a while.
The second Kickstarter to arrive was Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall. This is a “full stand-alone game that includes 6 new Stories and 14 new Guests that can be used with any edition of Gloom.”
The pledge got me Gloomier: A Night at Hemlock Hall standalone card game, Gloom Grief Case deluxe storage box, and The Gloom Chronicles campaign-style mini-expansion.
The latest (second) promo pack for Rolling Realms dropped through the letter box. As did the three promos bgg are selling for Fields of Green.
Finally the Marvel themed version of Splendor arrived. Is there room for vanilla Splendor and Marvel Splendor in my collection? I don’t know. The answer is probably no, and why Gav and me are going to come to an “arrangement” at the next Friday evening gaming session.
Now I just need to get some gaming in!
