It did not start with the Marro Warriors in the ROTV masterset, but with their self proclaimed warlord, Ne-Gok-Sa. A hefty defense, an awesome sculpt, and an amazing ability, I was hooked. This was August of 2007 (Hard to believe I have only been playing a year!)

The original masterset had me hookes, and I was wanting more, so I talke dto an old friend that had a collection, he sold it to me for $40. It came with a couple wave one, two, and three expansions, a Raknar's Vision, RttFF, and of course another ROTV. Now I had Su-Bak-Na who is a high contender on my list of favorite Marro, due to his awesome mount, and again an awesome ability, he helped me mindshackle and clone! At this point I had one squad of drones, then I got my SOTM, it was amazing! All those Marro, all for me to control on the battlefield, stingers, which were immediately my favortie ranged unit (Unless I got to build a swamp map, then the drudge got even more play time!). A few months passed and all of a...

Played my frist game of the reimplemented Risk on Saturday, it lasted all of twenty minutes including setup and explaining the rules. Of the three players, I was the second player to go and managed to get two objectives, and could have gone for a third but decided to hold my luck, I got both extra dice bonuses and waited for the game to come around to my turn again, where I quickly gained my last objective and won.

The only reason why it happened so quickly is on my first turn I was occupying South America and Australia with a friend who could not seem to roll higher than 1 or 2 for any of his rolls, because of this I managed to take his capital, Australia, and South America on my first turn, and I didn't lose any troops so I set up a heavy defense before ending my turn.

The game lacked in fun, but I hope next time we pull it out the dice rolls will be a little better for him.

I hate my job, plain and simple, and want out something fierce in order to take up something I truly enjoy. Writing.

I have a few short stories revolving around a central character and will continue to flesh him out until NaNoWriMo. I will post updates here of the characters, and stories as we approach November, and will use this blog as a journal through the adventure of writing a novel.

The main character, Selkirk (Rest unrevealed at this point) is a supernatural investigator in a world that has shunned their harder to explain ancestry. Set in an alternate time line we will explore humanity, and what it truly means.
