Beware, I Live!

Hail and Greetings!  I'm gearing up to get back into the swing of things and playing more Mage Knight again.


Suffice to say that there are just times when schedules don't align and the little group I put together just can't meet for a few weeks or so, but things are getting slowly back to normal again (well, as normal as a pack of grownups playing army manz ever get).


The games are starting to get bigger, and just about the entire ruleset in play now; the only reason that anything is being left out is apparently most of the new blood is allergic to actually reading the rulebook.  They would have to put the Xbox controllers down and that makes them swell up and want to die like some sort of cross between the Angry Video Game Nerd and an emo pufferfish.


On the other hand, everybody is pretty comfortable with the armies they've assembled, and there's been some talk about actually running some homebrew scenarios or even a full-on campaign.  I may well dust off the Battle of Fort Nerdicus campaign I cooked up.  It wasn't serious by any stretch of the imagination, but things worked out for the best, culminating in a crazy final battle where we swapped out domain cards every other turn to simulate the magic going completely bananas and everything going to hell.  Now that I have a full set of Domain cards to play with, things might get even crazier if we go that route.


I'm planning to not have things go super serious; you can be competitive without turning into a frigging 'Ard Boyz powergaming prick.  I feel that playing loose and keeping things friendly and a bit goofy is a much better approach and much closer to the original spirit of Mage Knight.  This is the game that gave us kickass dragon men that tore about the countryside like Elder Scrolls-style murderhobos in a never ending quest for XP so they can evolve like some sort of heavy metal Pokémon. 


Anyway, here's to more games to come!


Who will go to the Shelf of Glory?  Who will be cast to the Microwave of Shame?  This is Mage Knight, and it is time to take the Warlord's path.  Gather your minions and conquer some tables.  All Your Clicky Base Are Belong To Us!
