Not April Fool's Update

posted Apr 2, 2011 8:25 PM by Jay Arnold
Recruits was a great time. If you can only make it to one con, this is
the one. My Star Trek game went off well, players had a great time.
Truth be told, the project had started out as a way for me to pass the
time in Afghanistan that didn't involve waiting for the internet. It
was great to see it come together. I played in a neat 5mm Steampunk
game based off Gaslight. My infantry successfully boarded a landship
and wrecked it, but the enemy leader got away on an aeronef before my
boys could get to him. Great time. Also played a game of uncharted
Seas in which the only other players were my brother and two of my
best friends. Great fun.

Enough jibba jabber. The stauses:

up.

Making this one a two-stage project. Stage one is out the door and
