edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Wishing I had, lol. Tired, bored...not much to do. Keeping myself occupied with some Doctor Who episodes. Get up to anything fun? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Not really sat around, read some Warmachine fluff..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Which book? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Just the main rulebook...... was going to ask which ones are worth a read. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Honestly, I'd say all of them, lol. They really know what they're doing. If you're up for the effort, though, there's a couple ebook collections of the No Quarter stuff from Skull Island I'd check out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Hmmm..... will slowly pick up the books I think. What about from the RPG stuff? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Those books are great for history, but the kind of fluff they have in the rulebooks is different. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 The book fluff pushes forward the story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Sweet...... keen on both the history and the story I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 The world they've made really is very well done. Still one of my favorite settings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yeah, a lot of player of another game keep going on about how it has the best fluff....... I am finding that could be debated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 They have fluff that is the most innovative for the industry in a lot of ways. They're doing it very differently than their competitors, and I think that part of it is brilliant. Is the quality of the writing always up to snuff? Eh. Sometimes, lol. But I have to admire them for how they do it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mister Monkey Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Yeah I can tolerate average writing if the story is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Must admit, their ebook novels are really well done. And the Haley/Deneghra story is one of my favorites in all of game fiction. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dustcrusher Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 I think I might need a hiatus from my local game store. Something about the place brings out the worst in me. Long story short, a bunch of little things that by themselves would only be tiny annoyances built up until I had to step out of the store to get some air. I don't have a problem with anyone that goes there- certainly not with anyone that was there last night. If it was just me, I'd have this problem in other stores or at the club meetings I've been attending. If it was them, I'd have problems with them on a regular basis, and in locales outside the store. It's not the owner or former owner, either- the owner hasn't even been there much lately. The store tends to be really warm, and it gets uncomfortable. I'm sure that's part of it, but not all.

ThePandaDirector Posted March 28, 2014 Report Share Posted March 28, 2014 Know how you feel Lord of Dust. Sometimes I regret going to my club, but struggle to pinpoint a reason. I think it might just be a case of being in the wrong mood, though I admit I have a low tolerance for loud, over-energetic geeks (or people in general) and it can get pretty noisy when it's busy (and the usual suspects are fooling around). But whatever your reaosns are, hopefully you find a way to cope that doesn't negatively impact your gaming. My hobby life seems to be improving however. I discovered one of the guys at my club lives near me and is happy to game outside of the club (helps he's an example of a good ex-GW staff member), plus I now have a "local" store (well, two actually) so I feel that little bit more connected to the hobby (forget how much I missed buying models from a human being). Latest purchases have been the M2E rulebook (finally!) and the Khador starter for Warmachine, and already ordered Fuhatsu for my Mei Feng crew, my first Dreadball team (Pelgar Mystics) and the Army Painter Mega Set. On top of all that, my latest pay is bigger than I thought, so should be able to afford a good time at Salute, while my next pay is going towards the Darklands kickstarter (haven't read the rules, but I'll be damned if I don't have several armies for it =p) Happy days =] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mako Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Planning some shopping, and painting tubing on my maruts. Dead exciting stuff... You? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Work has stuff to do. Sadly, I forgot my notepad with all the notes... >.> Bah. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Sucks. Still, at least it's not a quiet night without notes! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 That's quite true. Oh well. On the upside, I think I hit upon how to go ahead and do this story... >.> We'll see if it functionally works. Grocery shopping, or fun shopping? And how's the Maruts going?

Mako Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Always a bonus. I... have no idea. Honestly, I don't think I'll know if this bit works until I get more of the other bits done. But oh well. Going to take some photos, since I've done a few scraps of painting and sculpting. Fun shopping. Debating preordering the Lone Marshal so I get him immediately the local gets him in, and seeing if they'll order the Only War book for me. Base one, not the expansion (which according to FFG is coming in May). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
edonil Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Ah, okay. That's...actually not that far off. >.> Holy crap, where is this year disappearing to... Lone Marshal, eh? I need to preorder him myself, that looks like a fun one to paint! How did you decide to do the tubing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mako Posted March 31, 2014 Report Share Posted March 31, 2014 Yeah. Another month and I have to start sorting paperwork for my work permit again... Turquoise/green travelling flares, with some grey striations to make it look like plastic ish stuff. Hard to explain really! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
