Wiz-War progress
The last couple months have been busy, but not without some small progress on our Wiz-War project. We got a couple coats of a dark base color on our seven board sections. Yes, seven sections. We’re making two auto-warp path … Continue reading
Northeast Wars photos
NatureBoy and I had a good time at Northeast 2009. Here are some cell-phone pictures. We were greeted by the non-nonsense presence of the 501st Legion – Vader’s Fist. Trooper TK-3220 was an imposing sight (and very shiny). On … Continue reading
Northeast Wars – day one
Can it really have been over a month since my last blog post? BW asks “What are you? Some sort of blog slacker?” I guess so… NatureBoy and I attended our first day of Northeast Wars 2009 today, and had … Continue reading

Warcosm – space fleet battles
When we attended Carnage in November, NatureBoy and I played in a huge game based on the Star Fleet Battles, a tactical space ship combat system set in the Star Trek Universe. The rules were dense, even for a stream-lined … Continue reading

We’ve been casting lots of Wiz-War pieces over the past weeks. I finally got some masonite to use as a base for the game board segments, to which we would glue the floor and spacer tiles. I cut a square … Continue reading
Growing gamers
The most recent newsletter from NatureBoy’s school included a description of the Chess and Game club, which began… Hey… are there 3,875 Orcs behind that door? […] Yes, Chess Club is back, but now it’s more than just pawns and … Continue reading
Making WizWar
When we attended the Carnage gaming conference in November, NatureBoy and I played a game called WizWar, and had a great time. The game itself is out of print, but rules and materials can be downloaded and used to make … Continue reading
Carnage game report – Day Three
Our gaming getaway concluded on Sunday, and I’m thinking it was a good thing. Our room was located in a high-traffic area of the hotel, so we were roused frequently by late night gamer carousing — especially Beloved Wife, who … Continue reading
