It took me a while to clear the dust off of my keyboard before posting this. Ever since the GenCon excitement took over in early August, I can’t say that this site has seen much activity (and rightly so), but hopefully that will all change now that I have some more free time. Speaking of which, now that the group has planned to meet for a pick-up game on the 30th, what better time to give you some links to the two items we’ve been throwing around.
My own miniature collection is cresting the 300 mark, and I know Sam has well over that – it’s pretty ironic that we have not even attempted to use them for the skirmish game they were made for. Anyway, I figure we can give it a shot and see how some quick board-based versus games go over with the group.
Spoils was another “pick-up-and-go” game that sparked some interest. From what I can gather, it’s very Magic-like in its mechanics, but claims to have fixed many of the popular card game’s flaws. I believe we’ll be picking up a deck to fool around with, so feel free to be critical! Here are the links:
D&D Miniatures Homepage – The official site of the game.
Warband Generator – This is a handy little tool that would be fantastic if we starting playing regularly (hey, we all use laptops at the table anyway, right?). There are a few different downloads, including one that you can import your own collection into, and then manage your warband through a broswer offline. Pretty slick. There are also card downloads, online generators, and other tools to take a look at.

The weekend of the 30th will also be a great time for me to get the final footage for our GenCon DVD. I hope to have it done in time for Christmas, and I’m confident it will be a riot to watch. Take a look and see what you think, and as always, feel free to to suggest any other games that may pique your interest. Until next post!
