1971

Posted on by

For some reason I was pricing out the cost of the 1971 season for Ball Park Baseball.

And then I remembered that I already owned that season, in a game system that I have yet to try: Box Seat Baseball.

My brother Rob has told me that this is a good game, but I’ve been caught up in my various replays in other game engines.

I think it’s time to figure out how to play this one, starting with game one of the first of three pitcher replays that I have planned for this season:

April 5, 1971, RFK Stadium: Blue vs. Bosman

Stay tuned!

Cyber Monday

As I said, I only picked up one item on Cyber Monday: Lacrosse Blast from PLAAY Games.

This was the only game that I didn’t already own from PLAAY.  I have almost no knowledge of lacrosse, though I’ve seen it played on TV a couple of times.  Looks like hockey.

I also ordered a fictional season set along with it, so I’ll be setting up yet another fictional season schedule in no time.

Stay tuned!

Blood Bowl: Teams

Posted on by

A check in my games and miniatures stash revealed 13 Blood Bowl teams, in various states of painted-ness.

THIRTEEN

I may have to retire/sell off more than just my original orc team.

  • 3 human male teams (one Norse)
  • 3 human female teams (2 Valkyries, 1 Amazon)
  • 2 orc teams
  • 1 elf team
  • 1 dwarf team
  • 1 Nippon (Japanese) team
  • 1 lizardman team
  • 1 Khemri (tomb kings)

Plus various refs, cheerleaders, musicians, coaches, mascots, chainsaw wielders, big guys/star players, trophies and a dwarf roller.

Blood Bowl

Technically, this is a tabletop fantasy sports game, so I figure it belongs here…

I’ve been a fan of this game since it first appeared in 1986.  I’ve owned every edition of the game since then, though I don’t believe I’ve played a game in well over a decade.

This weekend a new edition will be released, which I preordered from my local games store.

I own quite a few teams, though I’m probably going to retire my oldest Orc team (the Denver Bronc-Orcs), mainly because they may be out of scale (smaller) than most of the other teams in my collection, and the new ones in the upcoming boxed set.

We’ll see how much play time this new set gets on my tabletop,

Stay tuned!
