This Time…

Unlike last year, if I miss a day (or two or a week) of posting here, I won’t back date any posts.

I just hope I have something to say every now and then.

I’m surprised that I didn’t put up a review of Jumanji (which I enjoyed a lot).

I’m still hoping that they release a Ruby Roundhouse POP! figure.

Corsair Leader

Last year I bought the print-and-play version of this game.  I printed it, but never got around to actually cutting out the parts to play it.

Next week, Dan Verssen Games is starting a new Kickstarter for a printed version of the game, updated and improved from the print-and-play version.

This may be one of the few Kickstarters that I do this year, since I’ve cut back considerably on my KS pledging.

I tracked both my weight and food on WeightWatchers.com for the first time in months.

I gotta ween myself off snacks like the candy that’s around the office.

TV

I think I’ve caught up with all the network shows that I watch, just in time for a new episode of The Gifted.

That’s all.

Happy New Year, folks.

This is one of those games that I rarely played because it didn’t have a solo player option.  There have been homebrew instructions for it, but I never got around to trying them.

Recently Fantasy Flight Games released a mobile app for this game that allows for 1-4 players to run a campaign.  I downloaded it and finally got a chance to play with it.

I played the tutorial, and learned that I needed a refresher in the basic rules.

We’ll see how often I get around to this game.

Maybe they’ll add porgs.

The 50s

December 29th, 1967: premiere date of the Star Trek episode ‘The Trouble with Tribbles’.

Tribbles – purring, fluffy, and fertile creatures – disrupt the exploitation of a disputed planet between the Klingons and Federation.

Definitely one of my favorite episodes.  I have a weakness to small furry animals.
