News and Rumors / Galactica 2020

« on: September 17, 2019, 02:59:15 pm »

Normally I'd make mockery of this news … like "Perhaps Katee Sackhoff and Jamie Bamber will drive flying motorcycles around modern day LA..."

But Sam Esmail as showrunner? His work is absolutely sublime on MR ROBOT, so he could knock anything to do with Cylon-Human identity puzzles out of the park.

News and Rumors / Tariffs

« on: May 15, 2019, 11:47:06 am »

New Trump tariffs to hit the games industry … HARD
https://www.belloflostsouls.net/2019/05/rpg-new-tariffs-to-hit-games-books-printed-in-china.html

https://comicbook.com/gaming/2019/05/14/board-games-dice-miniatures-us-tariffs/

Sounds like KS backers could get hit first.

Many Companies and LGS's would likely struggle to adapt customers to a 25% price hike. Feels like a guaranteed cooling of a hot industry, and we'll see a lot simply fail.

FACO / Legions Clone Wars

« on: April 02, 2019, 01:19:01 pm »

When and where do folks play locally?
The new Clone Wars box may force me into the game - somehow the idea of a Separatist Droid Army feels massively appealing (I'm probably just hooked on the notion of someday fielding Christopher Lee ... )

If anyone wanted to trade box halves, giving me more Droids for my Clones, I'm open to the idea. :-)

FACO / HALO at Kobold-Con

« on: March 03, 2019, 04:50:18 pm »

Greg or anyone in CO:
Would you be interested in a HALO Fleet Battles event at KoboldCon, April 26th-28th?
If so, which day/time would be better? Sunday AM-PM? Fri night? Or must it be Saturday?

General Discussion / The Orville

« on: March 01, 2019, 02:19:11 pm »

If you haven't been watching THE ORVILLE, Season 2 has conclusively proven you have no excuse.
And
[spoiler]They've now delivered the biggest and best Star Trek style space battle that's probably ever been on TV. Maybe only DS9's final fight versus The Dominion comes close.
Is it time for an Orville Minis game? We have at least 4 Factions (Union/Humans, Krill, Moclans, Kaylon) including fighters for each!
[/spoiler]

No Discovery grognarding please - save that for another thread...

Why Greg can never have an *accurate* scale Star Trek game:

The Swap Shop / Dindrenzi Firestorm and Planetfall for Sale

« on: June 07, 2018, 11:08:11 am »

I have a friend seeking to clear space and liquidate his Dindrenzi. Since I talked him into getting them just before Spartan went under, it falls to me to help sell them :-)
He's looking for 40% retail, OBO.

If you're interested in either, please PM me or post here.

Full inventory is pending, but working from memory - Dinz Firestorm included:
- Dreadnought
- 2 different Battleships
- 3x Destroyers
- 3x Cruisers
- 2-3 Heavy Gunships
- 9 Frigates
- Bunch of Escorts and fighter tokens

IIRC, the Planetfall had a "One of every Unit" approach too, plus the RSN allies models. Might be some double ups though.
