Joust on 9/5 With Rio Rancho Gamers

There were three of us to play Joust on Sept. 5th.  I cooked up a pot of gumbo and we ran several tilts.  Not really sure who came out on top but it was a good time.  Seemed like the other players took to the system easily enough.  We are going to kick out with a game of Red Sand Blue Skies: Heroes of the Arena this Friday 9/26.  Should be fun.

Also got a copy of Captains and Kings from Two Hour Wargames.  I already started making 100 Years War  Army Lists and began working on ideas for a campaign.  This is the tune up Montjoie has needed for years to bring it into line with the current Two Hour Wargames mechanics. This might be my new pet for a while.

One Off Games and Social Time for Rio Rancho Escape

September 5th 2014

I would like to have any one who interested over to play a game and perhaps discuss character generation and game stuff for Steamscapes a steampunk RPG.  I have a couple of things that are ready to go.  Not RPG just good tabletop fun.  Here are the choices so far.  I have tons of other stuff and can put something together pretty quick if these do not gab anyone's interest.    So here we go...

X-wing miniatures on a Cloud City map.  Couple of scenarios as time allows.  I have bunches of ships, plenty to go around.

Or...

It's like a Ren Faire in my living room.  Fun jousting action, once again I have knights for everyone with leftovers.  

Afterwards if anyone is interested we can talk about an upcoming game of Steamscapes.  Here is a quick teaser.  I posted some background stuff in the Files section of Rio Rancho Escape

Relocated once again

After settling into the man cave at Castle Rock, I ended up moving to New Mexico.  I found a local gaming group and went to a murder mystery dinner recently.  I am looking to play some games when things settle down a bit.  Here is a short list of some of the games I play.

Settled in to the new Man Cave

Well it took a few months but I am now settled in the new Man Cave.  So I thought I would add a few Pics.  The new lair is pretty good size and has a pool table that I use as a gaming table or I can set up my 4x4 table.

I have a television video gaming area, and an attached office and full bath.  I have a stocked mini fridge and plenty of cabinet space for game and terrain storage.  I am really lucky to have this kind of space.  What a change from playing in my barn in the Texas heat a few years ago.

Playing Song of Lilies and Lions

Playing a game  of Song of Lilies and Lions.  Had some time this weekend, sort of a long weekend and so wanted to get in a few games.  I was playing a Cry Havoc! scenario using the SoBH home-brew Lilies and Lions.  Here are a couple of pics

I am gearing up for some flying lead using GI Joe type action figures.  I thought I would post some examples of the figures and stats.

Some of the figures are quite inexpensive I got some for about $2.00.  I have a set of large sticks that I also use when playing Flying Lead Star Wars with action figures.  I have a bunch more of these done.  I use Comic Life to make the sheets.

I may play a game of this next week and post a battle report.  

Return to gaming!

After relocating to Castle Rock I am finally getting settled.  I have begun taking an interest in games again.  I am looking to start a group called Castle Rock Wargamers.  I started a new blog for it and am checking on possible venues.  There isn't a gaming store in Castle Rock as far as I can tell.  The Colorado Springs groups meet on Thursdays which is school night for me,  The Saturday group always seems had to do as well.  So I will see what I can drum up here locally.  I will provide all the games for the first few outings till we see what anyone else is interested in doing. 

I have the 100 years war stuff out and played a solo game of Days of Knights.  I painted a few more Vikings.  I am going to play some SBH in the near future.  I am looking to play some Wings of Glory with my Dad in the weeks ahead.  The new Man cave is great, I do miss the fireplace, but this one has a bathroom and is much larger.  I need to post some new photos soon.  It's good to be back, it's been too long...
