January 5, 1968: premiere date of Star Trek episode ‘The Gamesters of Triskelion’.
Captain Kirk, Chekov and Uhura are kidnapped by powerful disembodied aliens and forced to fight in gladiatorial contests for the aliens’ gambling entertainment.
Not a big fan of this episode, truth be told.
“300 quatloos on the newcomer!”
’nuff said.
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.
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.
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.
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.
