My current goal is not to buy any more models (not necessarily terrain) until September and "Colours" (Newbury).

Collecting can be like eating: you eat and eat and eat until you are so large, the prospect of getting thin again looks almost too daunting ever to bother trying, let alone succeed in. The hobby can be like that, with so many choices available, saying no becomes harder and harder. <br /><br />My second major quest is to unify the rules I use to a small manageable number. That's why I look so favourably at things like M&DRG, and generic systems like D20 (because they can serve for Fantasy, Gothic Horror, Caribbean Pirates, Weird WWII, Modern Day, Sci fi and Dredd... all rolled into one).Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-55524357072153345002017-05-20T08:23:44.686-07:002017-05-20T08:23:44.686-07:00certainly, very true words there Simon.certainly, very true words there Simon.Stephen Gilberthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01704275344468801259noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-53807162201815337582017-05-20T07:12:41.267-07:002017-05-20T07:12:41.267-07:00Thanks Chico.

There are undoubtedly a lot of rules to learn, so it certainly pays to play the starter game first, and then slowly add more players/scenery to it imho. Bearing in mind its all on the web for free though, I think its a bargain, and definitely provides a try before you buy feeling.Blaxklerichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06986635840718583767noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1308328551615343287.post-83638971255074831802017-05-20T07:08:03.587-07:002017-05-20T07:08:03.587-07:00Good report mate, how are finding GB?
