<p style="text-align: justify;"> I just received around 30 pulp figures back from Doc Merkury who did a great job painting these for me. I am currently going through the finishing process and will post pics when they are done. I really like how the Ogre companion came out.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> One of the designers of Where Heroes Dare! has been working on a science fiction version and he took the time to host a game. His table was awesome and the game was a lot of fun. Like WHD!, the game is about creating a story line and major characters are often just captured when they fall instead of dying. Pre-painted Star Wars figures work well for this game and that is what we used.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> The Republic forces landed in an attempt to determine if General Grievous was building some kind of secret weapon, but instead are caught in a trap and have to try to escape. Obi-wan manages to escape but is forced to leave Anakin behind when he falls to become General Grievous' prisoner.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> ... that hasn't happened in an age. I painted something! </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">So, I have had these Wargames Factory Romans for years now and I finally did something with them.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> I built the entire box and painted one stand to test the process and colors out. We'll see if I can get the rest done in the next 10 years, ;-) I built a few Numidians for psiloi and some light cav too for a DBA army. I think the test stand came out pretty good. If the rest come out equally as good, I will be happy.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">I recently purchased some modern figures and vehicles from <a href="http://www.ageofglory.com" target="_blank" title="">Age of Glory</a>. This is the first time I have ordered from them and I recommend them highly. They provided a high degree of communication, the shipping cost was super reasonable and I got my stuff in three days. This experience was far better than any other internet miniatures retailer experience I have had in the past.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">I have to go on record about the Imprint Modern vehicles too, they are fantastic looking! I have been looking for some of these vehicles in 1/50th scale for some time (years in fact) and I am quite pleased with them.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> Doc Merkury's recent moderns in Afghanistan post inspired me to finish my moderns. Doc Merkury actually painted these too. I spent last week and the weekend basing and finishing these along with some other figs. I also just ordered a bunch of Taliban figures from The Assault Group to give these guys someone to fight.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> If you have a solo roleplaying/storytelling itch that needs scratched, you should check out the Doctor Who Solitaire Story Game. It is free and very good. This is my personal favorite for solo roleplaying. There is a lot of material already available for the game and the author has more scheduled through 2014. You don't need to be a Doctor Who fan to enjoy the game, but you may become one if you start playing. They also came up with a pretty clever idea on an alternate way to play the game. They created a wiki that links everything together and included Doctor Who imagery and sounds to assist in setting the environment, complete with die roller. I can play this game entirely on my iPad if I am on the go too. You can get everything you need to play the game <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/42142/doctor-who-solitaire-story-game" target="_self" title="">here</a>, and the wiki is <a href="http://boardgamegeek.com/weblink/150826/dwssg-wiki" target="_self" title="">here</a>.</p>

I was looking to get a river boat of some sort and decided to go with the Miniature Building Authority's version. I think it needs a few additions, but I got a great deal on it. I also purchased an Old Glory torpedo boat. It seems like it has plenty of pulp potential.</div>

Now, if I could just get either of these on the table, all would be grand! :-)<br />
I also picked up a copy of Conflict of Heroes: Awakening the Bear. The big draw on this particular game was hearing of a solo expansion to be released in the near future.<br />

PyMapper version 8 is now available. It looks like there is some functionality to use your maps for real time roleplaying with the implementation of Fog-of-War. It still has all the useful settings and features of prior versions as well.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
You can get the latest version of PyMapper <a href="http://pymapper.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/PyMapper8.zip" target="_self" title="">here</a> and the PyMapper web site is <a href="http://pymapper.com/" target="_self" title="">here</a>. In past posts there were comments indicating my PyMapper post should be updated because the program was no longer supported. I could find no evidence to support this claim then and I certainly can't find any now. For the record, there are several links to the tile scans <a href="http://pymapper.com/?page_id=33" target="_self" title="">here</a>.</div>

<p> I had a chance to download the Dropzone Commander building slides last week and had Staples print a few of them and then over the weekend I built one to check the scale against my Battletech minis. I think they look pretty good. I haven't had a chance to glue it together yet, but even dry-fit they look good. Here is a link to the <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/pages/downloads" target="_self" title="">Buildings</a>.</p>

I wanted a way to store all my pulp heroes and villains for Where Heroes Dare! in some kind of file format that would allow me to edit the characters later if needed and I also wanted to be able to put some kind of character picture on the sheet as well. MS Excel was not my first choice, but as it turns out, it worked well. When I entered all the data for the combo boxes I included the rule book page numbers because I always spend too much time looking up specific rules and I think that detail will really help.</div>

If anyone would like to use this, I have uploaded it to MediaFire <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?szbx99pmnmaahgd" target="_blank">here</a>. There are two character sheets per page and you can make copies of the blank character sheet tab to store more heroes and villains in the workbook. Enjoy.</div>

Edit: I found an error in the workbook. Here is a new <a href="http://www.mediafire.com/download.php?x6u6rmbcm4a0ls3" target="_blank">link</a>.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> Apparently, Dropzone Commander has been out for several months, but I was just made aware of it this past week. The game is produced by <a href="http://www.hawkwargames.com/pages/dropzone-commander" target="_self" title="">Hawk Wargames</a>. I don't really need a new miniatures game to play in a different scale than I am already gaming in, but there are some intriguing aspects to the game. The unit models are nice, but the buildings are a big draw for me. The game is scaled at 10mm which is very close to the 12mm scaling for my click base Battletech figures and these building would look fantastic on my table. They may even work well for 15mm.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> There is a downside though, the buildings are extremely expensive and you have to assemble them yourself. The quality looks to be very high, but they will probably be out of reach for most gamers. On the other hand, Hawk Wargames has made image panels of the buildings available for free download from their website and they look very nice for card buildings. Look in their downloads section.</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> If you are like me and have been waiting for Up Front to be re-printed, make sure you get in on the Kickstarter campaign. The 48 hour count down has begun. This deal is rediculous. The base game and additional core nations alone is over 1300 cards. At the current stretch level, the number of cards you get is more than doubled. To get all the cards, a pledge of $125 USD is required (shipping included for US adresses). </p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> I recently finished listening to the Thrawn Trilogy audio book on Audible. If you are a Star Wars fan and are looking for some source material for all the cool new Star Wars games then I highly recommend this read (or listen as it were). Before listening to the Trilogy, I didn't know much about what happened after episode six, so this was a nice tie-in to the movies for me. I am hoping to use some of the background story and event in the Star Wars RPG by FFG. If you haven't read or listened to it, check it out. It is pretty good!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">Most large board game companies have an online store and most of them do some kind of Black Friday, Cyber Monday or Holiday sale that offers 10%, 15% or even limited 50% (for loyal customers) savings. To my surprise, FFG has several items at 75% savings. Most of these items are not things I would buy at full retail, but at a huge discount these items become a little more palatable. There are a few $100 games marked down to $25. It might be worth buying a few of these just for the components to make your own games or to give away as Christmas presents. <a href="http://www.fantasyflightgames.com/" target="_blank" title="">LINK</a></p>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> I just finished playing my first game of Legendary. I wasn't blown away, but I am not ready to trade it off either. I only played solo and I am sure a group dynamic will add to the experience. This was a learning game too which sterilized the game play a bit. I see a lot of potential here. There is room for breadth as well as depth. We'll see what they do with it. For now I am giving it a 7.5 out of 10.</p>

This looks like Red Finch's first iOS release. The app is a digital port of DVG's solo player boxed game. For all intents and purposes, it is the boxed game on the iPad screen. I believe this is exactly what they were aiming for. There are no fancy platform shooter animations or AI, but there is some nice background music and limited sound effects. At $14.99, most people who are not familiar with this type of game will probably be ranting all kinds of nasty childish comments on the app store about how 85 other apps do more and look better for 99 cents .... whatever!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
This is the app I was hoping for and expecting. I was not expecting the price tag though and I fear that will deter many people which will likely make it difficult to justify further releases. I hope this isn't the case. I would like them to release all their Commander and Leader games in this way.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I have played 3 or 4 games and enjoyed getting my ass kicked in each of them. :-) The game has a few flow issues and maybe a few bugs, but these types of things are expected on a new release and it does not appear to be anything that Red Finch can't handle. The game is difficult to win, just like the boxed game and should provide many challenging hours of entertainment.</div>

If anyone who reads this is a mobile blogger with an iPad, I would like to put a good word in for Blogsy. It is very feature packed and quite honestly my preferred way to create my blog entries. Initially I used it just while I was traveling, but became attached to the flow and control. I have only tried one other blogging app and decided it didn't work well enough to use on the iPad. I give this app 5 stars!</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Along with Fantasy Flight's other Star Wars related offerings is a new RPG, Star Wars Edge of the Empire. This is a bit of an odd ball. The book is a Beta test for the new system. I have never heard of releasing a printed Beta for something like this, but they got me to buy one ....</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Something cool I didn't realize is the dice app I mentioned a few posts ago actually has the proprietary dice for the RPG built in already, so I guess I'm good to go. :-) We'll see how it all works out .....</p>

Adventure Games Guild has released their first offering, <a href="http://www.adventuregamesguild.com/dungeons.html" target="_blank" title="">Dungeons</a>. Dungeons is lite solo RPG game. This might do well as an introduction to role playing for younger folks who are interested in fantasy roleplaying. The budding publisher has a meatier project due early next year as well. I haven't played Dungeons yet, but I have read the rules. As soon as I get some play time I will post an update.</div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Recently, I have been doing a little research on solo RPGs. Some of you might ask why I would want to do such a thing. It is pretty simple; circumstances do not allow me to be as social with my gaming friends as I once was, but I still want to play RPGs. The trick is finding a way to surprise yourself or have the adventure unfold in a way which isn't obvious so that it doesn't feel like you are the player and the GM. There are a couple of options here, especially for the roleplayer who enjoys story telling games.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcMJ9zvT7FlTZw1popjMGdOlBXE_v9kbktQ-gfBDNe30qIWf__vRgWXl2PzH7MYKnpSc47163DSM3Plglft4-IQG4IURzrd93rbmlVqL_SknFnijks_24PGlW2wD2lSHiqfohE4PikaDk/s1017/Photo%252520Nov%2525202%25252C%2525202012%25252C%2525205%25253A39%252520PM.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"><img alt="" class="aligncenter" height="212" id="blogsy-1351899612200.4463" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhFcMJ9zvT7FlTZw1popjMGdOlBXE_v9kbktQ-gfBDNe30qIWf__vRgWXl2PzH7MYKnpSc47163DSM3Plglft4-IQG4IURzrd93rbmlVqL_SknFnijks_24PGlW2wD2lSHiqfohE4PikaDk/s500/Photo%252520Nov%2525202%25252C%2525202012%25252C%2525205%25253A39%252520PM.jpg" width="500" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Mythic, by <a href="http://www.mythic.wordpr.com/index.html" target="_blank" title="">Word Mill Games</a>, is an RPG system in its own right which can be adapted to play other RPGs GMless or even solo. This system combined with the two player game World vs. Hero, by the same publisher, can up the story telling ante considerably. Check out the solo play World vs Hero webpage <a href="https://sites.google.com/site/worldvshero/new-rules/solitaire" target="_blank" title="">HERE</a> and see if that sounds like something that would interest you. The rest of the site has many interesting tidbits as well. I especially enjoyed reading some of the story dialogue that was generated using these systems. There are several examples on the site.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
When the roleplayer uses these resources along with other resources like donjon, Ptolus or the multitude of other resources available, there is no telling what adventures may be had. While reading the World vs. Hero web site I could not help but crave adventures in all my favorite genres using that system. I am hoping to put these resources to the test. I would enjoy hearing from others or reading the adventures of others who are like minded.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;">The <a href="http://donjon.bin.sh/" target="_blank" title="">donjon web site</a> is a fantastic rpg resource. Not only will the site generate a fully stocked dungeon with the size and level specifics you provide, but it will do so for several different versions of D&D as well as generic fantasy too. The generated dungeon material can be downloaded as a nice pdf package once the desired results are obtained. What an awesome FREE resource. Cudos to the donjon folks!</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">There are other generators that are handy for several genres of rpgs, not just fantasy. The person or persons responsible for this site have been doing it for quite a while and as a result, many of the offerings are quite polished and offer lots of variety.</p>

Phantom Leader is coming to IOS! I thought I was going to have to wait until next year for the re-print. I am checking the app store daily now. I hope this does extremely well and Dan Versen Games will decide to release other games as well. If they are listening, at least all the Leader and Commander series games please. As soon as I can get my hands on it and play, I will post something.</div>

<p style="text-align: justify;"> A new version of my favorite childhood game is due to be released very soon. I have already pre-ordered three copies. I intend to give my nephews the same opportunity I had as a child for such memories. This is one of those games that, judged all by itself, would not rate very high in my book, but because of the theme and the memories it is still a favorite. I even still play the game from time-to-time with my nephews and since finding a solo scenario recently I have even played by myself too. I highly recommend playing this with any youngster who shows an interest in this type of game.</p>
