I seriously think I have too many options for gaming, resulting in executive indecision.<\/p>\n

I’m reading up on that and may ask my doctor about it during my next annual visit.<\/p>\n

In the meantime, I hope to finally get around to playing something more consistently in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n

I’ve neglected all of the solo RPGs as I’ve been hopping around reading up different systems, when I should just focus on continuing the adventures of the Excalibur.<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, I’ve been preparing for a couple of games that should be arriving in the next month or so, both from Firelock Games.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Oak and Iron is a tabletop naval game in the age of sail.\u00a0 They have a second edition coming out soon, so I decided to pick this one up since I finally watched Master and Commander: The Far Side of the World<\/em>.\u00a0 Ships are in 1:600 scale, and I found a few on MyMiniFactory that I’d like to have included in my games, including the HMS Surprise<\/em> from the aforementioned M&C movie, and the USS Enterprise<\/em> , from the late 18th century.<\/p>\n

The core set comes with 6 smaller ships, but I did pick up a couple of expansions which contain much larger ships, including 1st\/2nd\/3rd rate Ships of the Line.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

There was a Kickstarter for this last summer, which I backed.<\/p>\n

This is basically a smaller scale skirmish version of Blood and Plunder from Firelock, based in the Jamaican city of Port Royal after the earthquake in 1692.<\/p>\n

The miniature count for squads average about 6 models, and while I already have models for English, Spanish, Native Americans, and pirates, the core set contains15 models that will represent the French, and I included an add-on of the new Native American set with multi-pose plastic models that I will build as a Maroon (escaped African slaves) faction.<\/p>\n

And of course, I have my sports games to play, but that’s another story.<\/p>\n
