I just wanted to add a couple of items to the 'Games We Play' list.We recently picked up the Sea and Air games of Milton Bradley's Mission Command series.The air game is 2-4 players and features 8 decent sized miniatures that dogfight across the board (2 per player). It is very fast, but quite fun. There are more detailed reviews here.The Sea game is a little more strategic, but still quite fast.

Chaos ruled the day!Three groups of heroes woke up in a semi-abandoned factory in Gotham city. Each group was drawn to the center of the building where they all met face to face. They were shocked to find duplicates of themselves staring back from across the room. Confusion took hold as each hero was convinced that they were the 'originals'.There were three Tim Drakes dressed in identical Robin

We're planning a booster draft to celebrate the release of DC Heroclix Icons set.Each person attending will buy 3 boosters (4 random figs) and leave them unopened until the unofficial tournament starts. When all are seated and a map has been chosen (one of the new starter maps, I'm guessing), each person opens one booster and picks the figure they want the most. They then pass the box around the

Yes, I finally went and got the DC Heroclix Icons Starter Set that Mad City Comics in the United Book Exchange store put aside for me.Honestly, I was impressed, especially when compared with Marvel's starter. For one thing, the 6 non random figures (Starter exclusive "E" versions of Hawk Girl, Man-Bat, Batman, The Joker, Robin, and Harley Quinn) are decent picks for DC fans. They all look great,

Ghost Bear found Behind Truce Lines!The forces of the Federated Commonwealth and Capellan Confederation met in a brief raid on Ingress. It was a surprise then, when before hostilities were joined Clan Ghost Bear dropped in on a raid of their own. Astonishingly they were far below the Tukayyid Truce Line and undetected. The Ghost Bears bid away their assault 'mechs and dropped onto the

We played a double team 630pnt Heroclix game last night. Four of us each had sepparate teams, but the good guys (Trevor and I) didn't attack each other, and neither did the bad guys (Ken and Steve). Trevor's team included KC Supes, V Wonderwoman, E Hal Jordan GL, Martian Manhunter and Kara-Zorel LE. KC Supes was a big target, and though they took him off his best clicks right away, he managed

Holy Alternate Universe Batman!!!! The oddest thing happened on the other side of the multi-verse.... In this timeline, the Borg did not go after the Federation specifically. Instead, they decided to avoid the Beta Quadrant for the most part, and concentrate on the Alpha Quadrant (possibly because of where their Transwarp conduits were routed in this Alternate Universe). They attacked during

Check out the Starship Combat page. I've added all kinds of goodies, including an intro page, biography, and some Captain's logs for the IOSS Starskimmer.

I just wanted to take this time to highlight another site. We've been playing a lot of FASA's Star Trek game, Starship Tactical Combat Simulator. It's a great game, so I've added a bunch of links to the sidebar on this page. I've also created another seperate blog for the events and resources that are relevant to our games. Take a look at STCS: Home. It includes pages on Starfleet's 8th Border

I'm ready for an interesting game of Star Trek CCG. I've chosen a DS9 mixed deck (Federation and Bajoran) with an emphasis on Bajoran missions (some Alpha, some Gama quadrant). We may see the emergence of such historic figures as Ben Sisko, the Emmissary, Kai Winn, Li Nalas, or even the shape shifter, Odo. It's hard to say what kind of resistance they'll meet. I don't expect much opposition

Ok, here's the tentative gaming schedule this week: Vs. cards tonight at Steve's. Picking him up at work around 10:30. Wednesday - belongs to Smallville and my wife (not in that order). Thursday - I've been invited to Trevor and Ken's for Star Trek CCG, around 9. I'm gonna play a DS9 deck, either a suplimented Bajor deck, or a Cardassian deck.

Just wanted to mention, below each article there are these little comment buttons. They let you see any comments made previously, and even let you post your own comments. A great example is Steve's article on Vs cards. I wanted to respond, but rather than posting my own article, I posted a comment, to keep the two related. Try it out. Now.

Marvel and DC: The marvel sets are good. The DC set is great and i'm anxiously awaiting the new DC Vs. set. I currently have a gotham knights, teen titans, arkham inmates, and league of assassins decks. My gotham knights deck's superior card is superman. Teen titans doesn't really have anything. Arkham inmates is about the same. My league of assasins is lady shiva and ra' al gul. I don't really

The battle was fierce, but the Klingon Empire prevailed, as was expected! The conflict was centered in the Triangle, that lawless area between the Klingon, Romulan, and Human Empires, but managed to range all over the Beta quadrant. Many worlds were involved in the conflict, from Vulcan to Romulus! We began by initiating a secret project on the homeworld. A controlled temporal shear would allow

The second part to this project is now up and running! Check out STCS: Starfleet's 8th Flotilla, a site for our ongoing Starship Combat campaing. Also, the gauntlet has been thrown down. The Klingons have taken the challenge! Tonight's Star Trek CCG game will begin with the Klingon Empire led by Gowron, Kahless, Martok, and Worf Son of Mohg! We invite all challengers.

OK!!! The first set of links is up!!! Don't bother commenting on the pathetic graphics. I just quickly compiled a couple of images I found online in Windows Paint. Yes, I actually used Windows Paint. Here's the gaming schedule: Star Trek CCG (or TCG, whatever) to be tentatively played at Trevor's place sometime after 11PM on Wednesday night..... factions to be announced. Happy Gaming!!!

WELCOME!!!! Expect the format of this page to change. I'll be posting notes and news for the people I game with here. You'll also be able to find some of my favourite gaming links here (hopefully sooner than later). I decided to do away with the 'Family' blog. Most of what I would have posted there can be found on my personal Blog, which also includes my ruminations on philosophy, theology,
