State of the Games

    In this entry I am going to list each of the ongoing games that I have been playing and/or preparing for and give a spoiler free game state as best as possible.  I will also include pictures of any miniature work that I have accomplished for each game and specify if the next gaming session for that game is scheduled or not.


Kill Team

I haven't gotten to play this game yet.  I am excited for the opportunity, but it is not yet scheduled.

 Harlequins:  Finished getting all 6 cleaned and constructed.  Next task for them will be to prime and start painting.  See pictures:








Space Marines/Necrons: I have some minis I haven't touched in ages.  Definitely might try to dig them out and see what can be done with them.

Warmahordes

Menoth: The next time I play will probably be the Mystery box matchup with my new Menoth, which is not scheduled.  Started assembling the Menoth starter box as pictured.



Legion: The Throne of Everblight is together, but I'd like to get some green stuff to fill in some cracks before I prime and paint it.



Cygnar: No current projects - have lots of unbuilt stuff.  Maybe I'll get to it some day.


Warhammer Underworlds

Lets be real.  I haven't made decks to actually play this game yet.  But I have 3 factions built.  So that's something.  Next session not scheduled.  These are probably low on the paint priority list.




Arkham Horror LCG

My Arkham Horror group is currently embarked on the Path to Carcosa campaign on hard mode.  I am playing Roland Banks, seasoned monster killer and clue finder.  My compatriots are playing Minh and Akachi, and after Yorick met his untimely demise, Pete will be joining to see the campaign's conclusion.  We are 5 scenarios in, the next is The Pallid Mask.  The next session is not yet scheduled.

Pandemic Legacy Season 2

I have been playing Pandemic Legacy, I think my group's next month is November of Season 2, so we are almost done.  It has been an interesting ride, and although we were initially perplexed with how we would be able win later in the game, I think it has turned out to be possible easier for us than Season 1.  Next session is Tuesday.

Gloomhaven

Gloomhaven Campaign has begun.  I am playing the Mindthief, and we are 4 scenarios into the game.  Next session is scheduled for next weekend.

Legacy of Dragonholdt

I have started playing this with the wife.  We completed the first scenario and the first day in town, and we have been enjoying it so far.  Sessions for this game are impromptu.

RPGs

 Technoir: I have DMed two sessions of this game, and it has been interesting.  I have a number of idea of directions to take the story, though a next session is not currently scheduled.  I'm also considering switching game systems at some point, possibly to Genesis: Android, or something else entirely.  If I don't find something I love, I'll probably just stick with it.

In Closing

That seems like a lot of games, and it is.  My goal is to update any progress made on any of these games weekly, and I'll probably try to do a new State of the Game and retrospective probably at the end of 2018.

    Switching game systems? Why are you considering that?

    I need to get to work on that damn Ret Mystery Box. Probably not the next two weeks, but maybe after that I'll get to work.

Weekly Update - 2018/10/21

Week In Review Gaming Arkham Horror LCG - The journey to Carcosa continued this week with The Pallid Mask.  We got wrecked.  There were a few errors on our end, but definitely the scenario made it as difficult as it could be, and each of our investigators ended up taking an additional trauma of one kind or another.  Luckily for Roland, he took physical trauma this week. Menoth I have completed construction, including magnetization, of the Colossal kit, so I am now 100% constructed for the Mystery Box showdown!  No pictures today, but I will try to get pictures for next time. Spotlight: Arkham Horror LCG - Hard Mode That's right.  Hard mode.  As though normal wasn't hard enough, hard mode makes each draw from the chaos bag all the more terrifying, adding additional low negative numbers and generally worse effects from the bad stuff tokens. What does this mean for us, the investigators?  Anything we can do to accomplish the tasks ...

Weekly Update - 2018/10/07

Week In Review Gaming Basically none.  I did start a game of Defenders of the Realm with a distant friend on Tabletop Simulator, but that is the extent of my gaming this week. Menoth Lots of progress with assembly here.  Completed assembling Exemplar Cinerators and Starter Box.  Started assembly of Guardian/Indictor kit, which I plan to magnetize.  The only remaining pack from the mystery box is the Colossal box. Harlequins I did start looking at painting these guys.  I am going to be mostly following the GW guide for painting the first mini, which if you're interested can be found here:  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ospUJu2L2fA  So most of what I've done so far is get my painting set up prepared - found my brushes, arranged and organized my paints, and discovered I don't have all the paints I will need yet.  I did apply a quick undercoat of Abaddon Black on top of the Chaos Black spray primer, and I've started painti...

Weekly Update - 2018/09/30

Week In Review Pandemic Legacy Season 2 We completed the November and December missions of Pandemic Legacy Season 2 during the first half of each month.  Out final score was 864, which put us into the best outcome category, and also a quick examination of BGG indicates that we even did very well compared to other gamers.  Spoiler free overall impressions of the game: Some people preferred the story of Season 1, but everyone enjoyed the new mechanics of the game, and we all had a good time with it.  I can definitely see how the game could spiral out of control if you were making different choices, but we were fortunate to not have to deal with that issue. We haven't decided 100%, but probably our next game will be Betrayal Legacy, which is currently due out in November. Gloomhaven We completed Scenario 8 and Side Quest scenario 63.  Won both times, though the side quest was more challenging for us than Scenario 8.  I reached level 3 with my Mindthief, b...
