I've done the periodic loading of the game box! I have a box where I keep the RPGs I'm currently running, playing, or have an intention to play sometime in a vaguely forseeable alternate timeline. Quite frankly, I have too many RPGs. I keep them in boxes I get from work which were originally used for 20 lb / 5000 sheet containers of printer paper. I have 16 boxes like that packed with RPG stuff. Since I have such an overwhelming amount of stuff, it helps me to compartmentalize rather than just have it in one sprawling mass. By separating my "currently playing" RPGs out like I do, I find I get less distracted by the rest of my collection.
So, what's in the box now?
Mekton Z, Mekton II, Mekton Z Plus, Mekton Tactical Display
Mekton is nearly always in the box. It's a game I always gravitate towards. Right now Battle Fortress Independence Neo Zeta is on hold, but I know I'll be getting back to it. The Macross Frontier soundtrack is giving me too many good adventure ideas.
Dungeons & Dragons Fourth Edition (PHB, DMG, MM)
The honeymoon is still going. This is my newest love.
I never liked D&D3 and it had even gotten to the point where older editions had lost their lustre. The other D&D revamp/copies like Castles & Crusades and Hackmaster just hadn't been doing it for me. Then 4e came along and seems to have rekindled my love for D&D. It certainly is a change of pace, because I thought the dreary decade of d20 was never going to end.
My player is still enjoying using his Dragonborn Fighter and henchmen to hack up goblins. I'm looking forward to playing next week. All the upcoming products for 2008 (except the Forgotten Realms stuff) are on my Amazon wishlist already.
Dark Heresy, Dark Heresy GM's Screen
A while back, I saw this game on the shelf at a used bookstore and just couldn't resist it. I find it kind of rough to read through, but still intruiguing. I have hopes of running it someday, but my current lone player isn't exactly of the temperment this game seems to require.
Maybe I can get him to agree to a one shot of it.
Other than that I got the good news that my Wave 8, Aquilla's Alliance, and Ticalla's Jungle sets for Heroscape shipped the other day. That means my Knights and Cavalry will soon have their leader hero. It also means I'll have more elves. Oh, and a big red dragon. KEWL!
