Seattle Gaming

So laid off in Seattle has been a great opportunity for gaming. I've played 3 complete games of Arkham with my wife so far and we purchased the Dark Pharoah expansion for it which has made it a lot better and more interesting. The biggest thing is just not repeating Arkham Encounters like we used to and having a lot more interesting ones to really stir it up. They did a great job of balancing the basic game with it.

I've also gone back to playing Galactic Civilizations II on the computer since my Tabula Rasa accoutn expired. I've progressed a ways into campaign play for a change and I am enjoying it.

I made a road trip up to Vancouver B.C. that was a lot more difficult than expected. Actually got a grilling going across the Canadian border and had it easy coming back. Makes me really curious how many border incidents there are though. It is one of the biggest borders in all the world and easily one of the quietest too. Last time there was serious cross border action was the war of 1812, so why all the paranoia? Anyways I got to meet Skuzzy and discuss lots of wicked stuff about the future of VOR: The Maelstrom. One of these days we WILL throw down dice and a serious conflict will ensue.


I also got to have a good Union versus Shard play session with "Scott" yesterday. You can read a full Battle Report on the Bioplazm forums.

Now we're working on Anima: Tactics which I've yet to play since moving up to the Seattle area. There is definitely plenty of interest at the local game store though and I will likely demo for the game if I have time between my VOR playing projects and actually working.

Speaking of work, I've got plenty waiting for me to do up here since moving.
