Board Games

60 comics.

Broken dreams, and arms.

Chapter:

“I can play a game a week” I thought to myself as the weekend began. Unknown to him at the time, said the narrator, only extra complicated work, and hanging out with the kids at the urgent care parking lot we in his future.

I’m done for today, today we take one down and pass it around, 323 games to go!

I have flat out no time to do any comics until my wifes arm is healed. I can not to two jobs, handle the kids, and draw these. I’ll be back in a bit.

Campaign board games.

Chapter:

I looked up how many sessions we have left to finish in Gloomhaven Jaws of the Lion and we’re about halfway through. Then I realized we only realistically play a game 1 night a week. So just to finish Jaws of the Lion will take 2 months. “Not too bad” I thought to myself before glancing over at the shelfs full of campaign based games. With a horrifying curiosity I counted the games it would take to finish all the other campaigns and arrived at around 330 give or take 10 or so. At one game a week it will be over 6 years of something new everyweek.

That realization made me unsubscribe to every boardgame related media. No need to watch more commercials, I have enough games for a while.

Boardgames Anonymous Update

Chapter:
Characters:

I actually managed to talk myself out of the Twilight Imperium expansion. The only reason I want to get it is just to say I have it. It will absolutely never get learned or played. So that’s great and all but that left a hole my compulsive brain needed to fill, which it did. Immediately. I’ve managed to skip almost all the Arkham Horror LCG expansion’s, though Carcosa is tempting, but The Innsmouth Conspiracy slithered it’s way into my brain. Something about the cold and damp gets too me.

Unfortunately this is choice cost’s more, so that’s, just, great. Scooby Doo is ready for Hallowistmukah night though so that’s going to be fun, I think dilly will like the stories, we’ll find out.

Solo game nights

Chapter:
Characters:

I enjoy playing solo games. Only playing solo games however is a depressing solution to quarantine. Yes yes I know you can play online a variety of ways there is just something lacking in execution. I play for interaction with people way more than I realized.

I’m also trying a better 4 panel layout for on the site. It definitely needs a better workflow.

A Tale of Sails 27

Chapter: , ,
Characters:

I stopped at a dutch missionary to remove some bounties during the Merchants and Marauders session. Nothing major happened in the tale end of the game so I’ve condensed 4-5 turns down to this porting action. Since I played most of the time as a merchant I’d rather not waste 3 weeks repeating, I sailed, I ported, I sailed, I ported. I earned alot of gold on those turns but they would make a repetative story.

A tale of sails 26

Chapter: , ,
Characters:

Oh man was this one hard to get down for some reason. I don’t know if it was burn out or if I was just stuck trying to get all the final story pieces in place. There are only 4-5 more left before a tale of sails is complete, which makes me both happy and disappointed. Happy because I’m tired of the setting, but disappointing because I feel like the story would have been better with a few more sprinkled in where I truncated turns down. Showing the documents get delivered had potential for humor but I really didn’t want to drag this out any longer.

The next board game story will not be a sandbox game like Merchants and Marauders again for a while, I need to trim the story better next time before I do a large one. For now the next few will be based on shorter more linear games.

Apologies

Chapter: , ,

I will never not post at least something, but I’ve been stuck on this one for 5 days. I have it figured out now but I can’t finish it on time. Enjoy the preview I guess.

 

I’d advise not working two jobs and trying to start a large art project as well.

A tale of sails 25

Chapter: , ,

I arrived with my last movement to the seas around tortuga. I would have to wait until the next turn to port and unload all my goods. At this point in the game we had lost track of victory points because we were to excited exploring. After going over old turns I realized the gold accumulated from this turn would put me at 10 points., or at least close enough for us to call it anyway.

This story will be wrapping up over the next couple weeks and the next Billy Oboe strip will begin. I’m thinking race cars next time.
