Yesterday was quite funny on many levels: my wife woke me up with the words "Yo! I need a research server, complete with document management et all... pronto!" Now I'm in the planning phase and try to execute this order from my superior family member and have to compete with her university's super computer (just one of the five biggest in the world).



et pas du tout poéticologique… 


A small glimpse of my wargame shelf.
Just a sincere thank you to all the designers, developers, developers, artists, playtesters and publishers who put so much thought, research and care into these games.

Oh, right. I P500'ed Next War: Taiwan (2nd ed.) a while back. I kinda forgot about it. It'll be mine soon, and it'll probably sit on the shelf in shrink for a long time...
Someday I might have time and energy for my hobby again. My job is in perpetual crisis mode, so it's sucking up 100% of my CPU cycles 24/7. #HexesForever #GMTGames #worksucks
Finally got the #SpaceEmpires4X expansions from #gmtgames!
The good is that they look great, and I finally have them. All Good Things has just been released, but the other two have just been hard to find.
But...
Now got that unenviable decision of 'How much of this am I going to try to introduce at once?'
Thing is - this is primarily for #sologaming - and I don't know how many new rules will fit in my head at once.
Okay, dann gucken wir mal ob die Merry Man wirklich die Herren im Walde bleiben ...
I got my copy of #SpaceEmpires4X that I picked up from #gmtgames’ most recent P500 to the table late last night. Played the easy solo Doomsday Machine scenario to get the hang of things.
My main experiences with 4X have been digital (Civ, Endless Legend, and #Stellaris [soundtrack for the evening actually]), and while it’s not as extensive as those games in scope, Space Empires does a great job of bringing the 4X experience to the table in a fun and time-efficient manner.
