Quick image dump for my finished models for Dark age and Guildball (though I do need to pick up Veteran Brisket at some point from Dark Sphere, I guess they will hold on to it for a while?)

Joining BGG!
Yeah, so I broke and decided to create an Account and add my game list to Board Game Geek, but I do have a good reason! I have set myself a few challenges for the next year.
Challenge 1 - To play every game I own at least once over the course of the year! Then if I haven't played it I have a good long think about whether I really need to keep it.
Challenge 2 - Rate each of the games after I pay them to give me a list of my favourite games. The reasoning behind this is that I often forget I have played a game or how much fun I had and was wondering if having a list like this might help me organise my games days in 2017 bit better (Tail Feathers/Ashes/Dark Moon I'm looking at you!).
Challenge 3 - create a list of games I want to get to help me plan my purchases better and avoid the over excited purchasing I seem to get into then not play that game for ages (Tail Feathers/Ashes/Dark Moon I'm looking at you!).
Here is a link to my list if you wanted to laugh at my initial ratings for the games I can remember playing recently. And no I won't be adding games I have played but don't own, that feels too much like having a second job (Though I do like the idea of making an ELF account that we can all add too...?).
See you soon at CrimboCon!

Buying cars!
Just a quick image of the cars I picked up today at the Entertainer:
Other than the van at the back they were £1 - £1.50 each (Van was £3.50, but I wanted something chunkier!) and they have an even better deal that I hadn't seen until after I bought these which was random-ish packs of 5 for £6.60. All I need now are a few hours, some plastic card, lots of old 40k bits, super glue and some paint, then I shall have enough models for a full themed play test.
PS these aren't 1:64 scale, I think they are 1:50-ish so may have to change that in the rules but we'll work it out as we go!

It happened!
2nd edition of Vast: The Crystal Caverns now on Kickstarter
https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/2074786394/vast-the-crystal-caverns-second-printing-with-mini
I think they've undersold the importance of the rules changes a bit and gone for the "oooh look new minis and roles and stuff" factor. Especially with this heavily debatable sentence!
"We listened to your suggestions and made the second-printing rulebook and aids even better."
Still, it's good news and tempting stuff...

Further adventures in sleeving.
Just a quick post to bring a sad/happy story of my adventures in sleeving! I bought over 2000 sleeves for protecting the my card and dice treasures and this time I invested in Ultimate Guard as they have always been great to us at Essen. So I was really disappointed when four of the packs of standard sleeves were the wrong size (too big, small and unsealed!). I managed to find uses for most but ended up with two packs I just couldn't use so will get a refund from Dark Sphere, but I also sent a message to Ultimate Guard to tell them of the issue and explain that for the last four years were as a group had really valued their brand due to the service at Essen and quality of product. Well, two weeks went by and no reply which wasn't wholly unexpected but disappointing, then came a very apologetic email from Lukas at Ultimate Guard saying they were really upset that the products had been so bad and that they hadn't replied that they wanted to send me replacement sleeves and a free product. So of course I was really grateful and asked for some standard deck boxes or (being really cheeky) this:
And they only went and sent me one! How awesome, given that they could have just sent the standard 'we're so sorry' message. The moral of the story is always tell the manufacturer as well as the store and you might just get a double benefit!

A quick image dump for the first batch of Engines and upgrade cards for those that may wish to start making up some cars.
Oh and the working title for the game is Cult Cars of The Apocalypse!
