Mutation Rotation
Ok, Hi blog. You have become a Card Game blog of sorts. But, you know me, I take something up, play the shit out of it, and then move on. In the mean time, please suffer through some Netrunner and Summoner Wars session reports!
Android: Netrunner
It may be more accurate to say this is a blog of crappy Haas-Bioroid pictures but I digress.

Through a Glass Dorkly
Holy moly your editor is getting to this post later than he intended. Perhaps you can divine for yourself why that may be by reading below and looking at some of the photographic evidence!
Android: Netrunner
Annie and I got in a game of Netrunner before the night really began. She took Jinteki and I played Criminals and I explained all the jargon and we immersed ourselves in the game. I will...

Rezzing Ice
For my third day of gaming in a row, I headed to Jake’s place with the three games on my Hot list: Summoner Wars, Burgundy & Netrunner. If I were to only ever play two person board games, I could probably survive on these three games for the rest of my days. Well, at least the first two—Netrunner remains to be seen but there are some preliminary thoughts below. But first:

Sometimes playing board games...
…just makes me want to play more board games. That’s why even though Erik and Tom came over for some gaming, I am playing Summoner Wars over iOS with Annie as I write up this entry… as her Jungle Elves are doing some crazy shit, I offer this after action report for you all:
Crokinole
(Ok, it’s been a while since I wrote the preceding sentence [like, an entire iOS game...

Listen up, everyone, I'm blogging!
First off, big props to Erik for agreeing to game with me even though I’ve become a totally different person after GenCon: more worldly wise, more patient, more intolerable, etc.
Second off, here’s half the pictures I took from this evening to tempt you to click on the jump:
Ha, I’ve got you! CLICK THE JUMP.

Overheard in line for a hot game at GenCon:
Man #1: Are you going to be ok if they run out of copies?
Man #2: I think I'll be alright- I've been mentally preparing for it.
Man #1: Ok...I just don't want you to go off the deep end again if you don't get it...
Man #2: Those were hard times, but I think I've grown since then. It's all in God's hands now.
Annie whispering to Joe: What would "off the deep end" consist of?!

Quick update from Indy
I picked up the penultimate copy of Adroid: Netrunner today. It was a big “to-do”

Pleasant Surprises
You live long enough in this world and you think you’ve seen it all. Then, out of the blue comes a text message and before you know it you’re leading a pack of Dwarves into Orc territory for control of Itharia!
But before I dive into that, there were a few notable Crokinole matches to discuss.

Jeff wanted to get the Crokinole board mounted to the wall so that obviously...

Revenge is a Dish...
…that is sometimes sent back.
Even though it is Jeff’s birthday (go wish him a good one on his blog!), I managed to find some time to get in two rematches with Jake before our swanky dinner plans. Although not quite as epic as Thursday’s session, you will see two of the same games trotted out again as their loser’s attempted to avenge Thursday’s inglorious losses.

Thursday is a Gaming Day
Had we but world enough and time
these boardgames, tumblr, were no crime.
Oh hi, blog, I didn’t notice you there while I was reciting poetry, but hey, I’m glad you’re here! Because I played a bushel of games yesterday. And I took pictures. And I took notes. Here is what my table looked like after the many hours of gaming:
The story of this mess will be told, indeed, many...

Eclipse: A Teaser
I took the shrink off my copy of Eclipse and am now thoroughly briefed on the rules. I punched the components in preparation for a possible game on Thursday. “It’s a very exciting time!” -Tank from The Matrix
