Re: UK Scapers (The life and times of RichardD)
It's the first time I've been back here in a long while! I was looking for my photos from the first UK Games Expo (my, how that event has grown!), and discover that I've missed loads of other...

Re: Airsoft
The answer to the question is largely "it depends", by the way. From model to model, the performance is pretty much the same (expensive Systemas aside). Ignore garbage about MP5s only being good...

Re: Airsoft
Ah, the old "what is the best gun?" topic. Used to crop up at least once a week on the two airsoft boards I read back when I used to be a regular player.
These days, I'm too old, fat and busy to...

Re: News for the UK
The last couple of waves can be bought from specialist games shops that were (eventually) able to carry the game. In order to get decent amounts of terrain, you want to hunt down more copies of the...

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
My take on these games:
Ascension - an almost entirely tactical deck building game, where you cannot really hope to make any realistic long-term plans or decisions. I'm not a fan.
Thunderstone...

Re: What Board Game Are You Currently Playing?
I go to Essen every year - it's a German city that holds an annual boardgame event each October. I've been going for 15 years. Back when times were better, I'd come home with 40 or 50 new games...

Re: The princess bride
Yes, I've read the book - a couple of times. And seen the movie countless times. It' probably the most quotable film all time; almost every line is a gem.

Re: Books: What are you currently reading?
Yeah - no kidding. On a related note, I was thinking about how plot-dense the last two books have been and I have a sneaking suspicion that we just got half a dozen Jordan books worth of plot in the...

Re: What is your favorite fantasy book?
Gosh. Plenty in this thread that I wouldn't use as firelighters, let alone ever want to read again. The Lord of the Rings I've read 7 times, and I loathe it more with each reading. Eddings -...

In all honesty I don't think I'd over-emphasize the "skill" part. Everything I've done I have learned either from the woodwork lessons I had at school aged 11 and 12 (here in the UK we don't teach...

Re: Dominion.
The slots are separated by about 6mm, and the cards stand vertically. As all the cards have their title printed across the top, it's simply a matter of looking down into the box at approximately 45...

I played a LOT of standard Dominion (mostly on BSW, but plenty face-to-face). But apart from the Intrigue cards that made it to BSW, I've not played much Intrigue, very little Seaside, some Alchemy...

I have too many favourites to remember.
Heroscape is the game that I would take with me to a desert island, if I was only allowed to take the one game.
Other great games I would buy again if my...
