Round 2

Posted on March 22, 2025 by Chris S.

With the passing of George Foreman, I watched the “Rumble in the Jungle” last night, which I’m pretty sure we didn’t watch live back in the day, or at least I don’t recall doing that. I may have watched it when ESPN was doing a marathon of Ali’s greatest fights a few years ago.

It may have been that marathon that prompted me to start playing tabletop boxing games, and creating the Scott Bullerwell Heavyweight Invitational.

This has been on hold for almost 3 years.

One of my tabletop goals from 2024 was to complete this project.

It’s high time I went back to it.

IT’S TIME FOR ROUND TWO OF THE SCOTT BULLERWELL HEAVYWEIGHT INVITATIONAL!

There’s 7 more fights to determine the winner. I’d like to get a couple of them done this weekend.

Specifically, these two fights:

Especially that second fight, in memory of Foreman.

Stay tuned!

Changes

Posted on December 18, 2024 by Chris S.

I simply have no time to play complete seasons of teams/seasons that I’ve purchased over the years, and it’s about time I admit that to myself.

Except for racing, since those are relatively short seasons.

But as far as baseball, I will play out the 1921 and 1971 Giants season replays over time.

As for everything else, I’ll be playing shorter seasons/projects going forward.

I’m looking at doing no more than 40 games per any given team/season, which should give me plenty of play between a team and the rest of the league.

Football will be ‘as the spirit moves me’, as in I’ll play when time allows and with whatever team/season I feel like playing at the moment. Though I’ll probably still try to play out Elway’s rookie season.

Hockey, soccer and basketball: same, when I feel like it.

Golf, tennis, wrestling, boxing: also the same.

So many games (sport and non-sport), so little time.

Stay tuned!

Curbing my Enthusiasms

Posted on February 20, 2024 by Chris S.

As a side note, I seriously have to curb the number of ‘active’ projects I have going, and stick with games (and sports) that I like to play.

Baseball and racing will always have a spot in my rotation. Soccer and hockey take the next tier, with football and basketball lower on my list.

I also have golf, tennis, boxing, wrestling and lacrosse in various forms. Of those, I have to be in the right mood/mindset to play any of those. None of those games are ones I consider playing with a long-term ‘season’ or replay.

And then there’s the least played games: bowling, roller derby, demolition derby, and some interesting fictional sports. Someday, I keep telling myself.

I just started the 2013 SCRAM season, and the 2024 SCRAM/SCRAM-B sets arrived in the mail today. Yikes.

So yeah, I need to curb my habit, considering the vast amount of other hobbies I have and would like to pursue as well.

Stay tuned, I guess…
