I ran my first series of Samurai Skirmish games using modified fantasy rules called Song of Blades and Heroes. They were a lot of fun, but I think the scenarios were a bit off. The Ninjas sent into the town to defeat the Samurai were way too powerful!
I plan on playing this game a lot more in future.

All right, all right—I bought into the whole “Look up your name on urbandictionary.com” wheeze this week. And about me it says:
The classic “boy next door” whom everyone loves, and gets along with. He has it all. He is handsome, talented, intelligent, popular and kind. He’s the type of guy that you trust completely and can tell anything to. Everyone crushes on him, and everyone wants to be his friend.
Although he may seem like he has everything going for him, he is usually very unhappy and self-conscious, but does a good job of hiding it. Since he is a pretty good liar, he may be an actor or a politician.
He may or may not have a rough/difficult home life. [FYI, I didn’t…]
He has sought love and found it in all the wrong places. He could potentially fall in love with, and spend the rest of his life with, his best friend.
Ultimately, he has a good heart, the right intentions, and the spunk to make something of himself someday.
The young man on the billboard was handsome, vibrant, and carefree. This was far from the truth. He was Doug: young, scared, and fighting for answers.
Far be it from me to say how true I think this is, but I think it’s pretty accurate…
I’ve been reading everything about the iPad that I can get my eyeballs on ever since the announcement. I absolutely can’t understand all the vitriol and consternation being spouted about a product that isn’t even available yet. A shining example of why I pretty much never listen to the “pundits” or “experts”.
I don’t even really want to say much about it until I’ve actually seen and touched one myself, but I can’t resist at least mentioning a few impressions I have. FYI, I’m definitely in the “It’s going to change computing for the better” camp.
I’ve always been a big player of miniature wargames, ever since Junior High School. It still provides my weekly Friday night entertainment and I’m even getting ready to spend 3 days at our local HMGS convention this weekend, including running two different games.
I cannot believe that almost AN ENTIRE YEAR has passed since I last posted to my blog. And I left it on such a sad note, too (Victoria’s demise).
Well, here’s a new post. And I’m actually doing it directly from my iPhone. Maybe that’ll encourage more frequent posting–though I’m not so sure about writing long missives from its tiny keyboard.
Oh, and I’m also attaching a random photo to test how it works.
Blog again soon!
Here’s another scenario from a game we played, though I can’t seem to find anything about when and how it turned out—though I know we played it! It was sort of a follow-up to the Bomagayo Expedition, where Abu al Oshiri got a chance to go replenish his stock, as it were, after his slaves were freed by the Germans.
