Today I'll be going back to Firefly The Game (GF9), with my pal who is having some of his custom modules for this game published as part of the new 10th Anniversary Gamefound Offering, which still has a few days to run. If you don't have the game, this baby is a Big Box with everything ever published for it over the years (about 7 expansions, large and small), and a brand new one called Still Flying by this pal and another guy! Congratulations to him. He also designed some of the Stretch Goals in the offering. I wouldn't be suprised if he spices up our game with some of these new features he designed, so it will be an interesting adventure today, and I'll be one of the first to play them!
Firefly changed the hobby by raising the standard for Media Tie In Intellectual Property games, which no one thought much of back then. It offers a good game while being rich in the theme of the old TV show and movie (Serenity). There is also an option to buy just the new stuff with some special Bling. Supposedly the new stuff without the Bling will be available in retail afterwards.
Other media tie in games I'll be getting this Summer and Fall include The Last Kingdom, and Dune: War For Arrakis. See my thread on what games we'll be buying for some details, and check them out on BGG.
On Wednesday I'll be playing the first custom Heroscape scenario by Thrasher Darkrai for our group The New York City Gang of Four. This time around we'll be using Classic and Custom Scape, and even some cards from the failed Age of Annihilation offering by Anitar or Me, which I make available to our gang regularly, along with other elements of that offering such as terrain rules and the first scenario it included or foreshadowed. To follow our group experiences over the last 15 years or so right up to today, see my signature thread as usual.
