Hi there!
I know that's outside the main interests of the Forum but, out of curiosity, are there among you any players of strategy/tactics war-boargames such as, say, "Hannibal vs Rome" (my favourite"), "Ancient Battles", "Combat Commander" and so on, including fantasy games such as "Talisman", "Dungeoneer", "The Descent"?
Veni, vidi, vici.

I'm well into my RPGs, especially Call of Cthulhu. But have also really enjoyed Deadlands, In Nomine and Warhammer 40,000 Dark Heresy. Board games, I own only a few but especially recommend Zombies!!!, Pandemic, The Arkham Horror and anything by Cheap Ass Games, although they have now sadly gone out of business. Occasionally I'll also dabble in a bit of 3rd edition Dungeons & Dragons (4th ed is dreadful) but don't tell anyone. |

Yes, I have the Zombies!!! games. They are fun but I am mostly in favour of one-to-one battle games, maybe just because I can't muster more than one fellow player. I like customized card games too, whether battle of fantasy, provided they are not of the collectible variety: personalisation of decks forces the buying of booster packs so there is a card collection and no longer a game. I get more players only for Texas Hold'em poker games but I have to pose the condition of reasonable bet limits. That's a kind of RPG too, in its own way...or maybe not! |

The RPG Deadlands actually uses a version of poker for its combat and magic system. Very very cool, seeing as it's a fantasy Western game.
My favourite non-playing card game at the moment is Munchkin. |
