Apologies for the lack of attention this blog has been receiving recently. I have not had my gaming mojo on, and as a result all I have been able to do is think about gaming rather than do anything practical. I am not sure if that will change any time soon as real life is just so busy at the moment.
Anyway, a few weeks ago, my birthday came around again with alarming speed, and I was lucky and very grateful to receive a few gaming related items that my loved ones hoped would spur me back into action with my hobby...
Over the last couple of months, as I rarely get to do any face-to-face tabletop gaming, I have picked up the rulebooks for Rangers of Shadowdeep and Five Leagues from the Borderlands in an attempt to try to get some solo gaming in. However, as they both require a little preparation and buy-in prior to gaming (figures, scenery etc.), I thought I needed something else to whet my appetite prior to getting around to a start up level of peripherals for either game. I was thinking out loud about this and my partner asked if there was anything that would do this for me. Without much thought, I mentioned the Lone Wolf books as a simple and low buy-in option, as I had "played" them before many moons ago.
In true perfect-partner style she arranged to get me not only the first five books in the series, but also a painting station kit and cutting mat (my current mat is in a truly woeful shape and definitely needs replacing) as she knows I really want to get painting again and took on board that we don't really have the space for me to do so without causing all sorts of mess.
So, all-in-all a lovely little birthday haul to get my creative juices flowing again; thank you to my family for supporting me in my hobby-related endeavours.
Those Lone Wolf books are classics!
ReplyDeleteThanks Joe - I am really looking forward to delving back into the realms of Lone Wolf. Last time I was there was back in the early to mid 80s.
