Doing the last two days of Essen! Updated

Saturday was so busy (and fatigue had set in!) so we demo'ed a few games and left Ant to it to so he could play some deep euros. After in the evening we broke out loot island and queen domino. 
First up jack and the bean stalk

Going deep into spiel! Day two

Day two started with a trip to the Meeple Circus!

Going to spiel 17. Day one!!!!

So I ended up making the first purchase within 10 mins as a crazy good deal was in the offing for the potion expulsion expansion with play mat, tokens and exclusive potions for only 20 euros (old habits and all that).

Finishing my first Descent models

Just a quick image dump of my (oh so nearly) finished shadow dragons. Just need to varnish and add some extra basing materials.

Heading to Essen

Turns out hitting the airport early has its advantages, a free pint, free wifi and charging to play some hearthstone!

Making more game aids!

Just a quick image dump of the latest gaming aid I knocked up. I realised that if I ever play as the overlord/sith in Descent/Imperial Assault I may wish to have my own player dock so I knocked this up during the week:

It will hold 6 cards which should be pretty much all you need at one time, my only issue is the need to read the back of cards, so sliding them in and out could be annoying but I don't think that will be a huge issue.

I'm still working on deck holders that don't require plastic adhesives but I may have to just buy them from raptor... 

Spreading Yourself Thin: How Many is Too Many?

Hi All,

Just hoping to start a little discussion on here with regards to something that has been on my mind recently.
The summer holidays, for me, are one of those times where I always intend to organise a few days to get some of my many games to the table.
As we're rapidly approaching the end of said holidays and I've almost entirely failed to do that, coupled with trying to arrange days with my other (primarily RPG based these days) group, while also trying to figure out days/evenings to play some of my many miniatures games and also pondering trying to arrange some days to get specific board games to the table, and all the other 'real adult life' things, I'm starting to wonder how I'm ever going to fit all of it in. 
Not taking into account my board games or RPGs, the list of games in currently invested in stands at:

Warhammer 30k
Warhammer 40k.
Necromunda
Kings of War
Guild Ball
Dark Age
Batman Miniatures Game
DC/Marvel Universe Miniatures Game
Star Wars: Destiny
SW: X-Wing
SW: Armada

It gets even more frightening when you start breaking it down further, as its not even as if its one army/crew/gang/team/deck etc. per game system. Its multiples for each one.

At what point am i going to be able to give all of these games a fair crack of the whip?

Time and again I'm asking myself: Is it time to start trimming some fat? Just rip off the plaster and reduce the list down to a more manageable number of systems? Can you even bring yourself to do it?
None of these are bad games. How can you decide which go and which stay?

Anyone else finding themselves in the same boat?
