Knee Slider

Haven't been playing a lot lately, largely due to life. Other people's lives, actually, as I don't have a life of my own. However, I was able to get in a game of Guild Ball this past week, against a guy I haven't played since my Malifaux days. Honestly, I'm not sure I ever played him or he just played in my events. Either way, he agreed to give me a game. He used his Morticians, since Engineers are over powered, and they were painted a bit. I, of course, played Masons. I had picked up Chisel forever ago, because she is awesome, and I didn't think I was going to be able to get a scene going at HT, and I wanted her. I also, more recently, picked up the Kick Off starter. It is cheaper, and I just can't let dreams die, no matter how far fetched. Well, I originally wanted to join the group at Rogue's Roost on days when the KoGT group flakes(there are only two left besides me). However, after trying to get a game in there, I found those guys to be obscenely unpleasant. Dreams are for loser anyway. But I can't let mine go, so, having a free week night, I put the Facebook call out. And low and behold, Haunted has a Wednesday night Guild Ball night. It isn't super active, but I only needed one player, and blammo, a game.

The New Obsession

So, recently this blog has been fairly dead. Not because I am dead, just that I haven't found the time to upload my pictures. I even have a post all ready to go, I just don't have any pictures to go with it. It may be posted without any eye candy. However, in the mean time I thought I would post about new game I am trying to get into. Guild Ball.

Guild Ball is a soccer based tabletop game. Each players has a team of six members, including a leader and a mascot. You score points by either scorig goals(4 points) or taking out opponents(2 points). Each player(member) is a character in their ow right. Each has their own abilities and skills.

So far it has bee very interesting, very strategic. Also, all the rules are available online and even include paper dolls to stand in for the first season players. I have mainly gotten games in versus my kids, but it is looking good. I hope to pick up models for the three of us soon.

If you're interested, check them out, over at Steamforged Games. Under the community menu, there is a section for resources, that is were you will find the rules, player cards, and paper dolls.
