My Hobby and Blog in January 2018

Generations Power of the Primers Leader Class Optimus Prime

A short entry for this month. For 2018 I need to dial back on Kickstarter projects and focused on my collection that I currently have. This is something I should have been doing since the beginning of this blog....anyways! Mythic Battles Pantheon and Blackwater Gulch were recently fulfilled. I am expecting SMOG: Rise of Moloch and Rising Sun to games in the next couple of months. What remains are the Modiphius projects, Ninja Division projects, Wyrd's The Other Side, Reaper Bones 4,  Terraincrate and Tablescapes.

For January, I got to play Wrath of Ashardalon scenario where the dragon makes its first appearance in the game. We lost! While digging through my storage boxes, I found the Heroscape board game that I bought many years ago for my nephews and nieces to play when they were old enough to understand the rules. We spent the weekend playing that mostly. They seem to enjoy both the building and combat aspect of the game. While the product line has been discontinued, all the unit stats are online. That makes it easy to proxy figures.

Transformers Generations The Prime War Trilogy toys have rekindled my fondness for the 1980 Transformers. The modular aspect of this toy series seem to make it easier to be adapted for a homebrew tabletop skirmish/rpg game. I would like to get the Combiner gift sets (Bruticus, Menasor, Computron, and Superion). In addition, I want to get a Leader class Megatron to go with the Optimus Prime I already have!
