Well, September was a wash - except...
I've acquired at least three new players for my home campaign. So - that makes a party of five. Let the good times roll!
The campaign starts again next Saturday, October 11th.
In the meantime...
Today, I stopped by my "new" FLGS. I've been out of circulation for a while and really wanted to reconnect with my gamer brethren. It was a great experience - even if I am currently broke. In fact, my lack of disposable income has really impacted by hobby pursuits. I no longer collect games.
Let me clarify that.
I won't get into games that require me to keep purchasing expansions and new pieces to keep playing. I realize that is now the way of things, but I just can't do it. No more CCGs. No more miniature wargames where I am required to sink my resources into more and more warbands and paints and scenery. No more RPGs with countless splatbooks I don't need or have any respect for. Not even boardgames with regular expansions and add-ons.

Wait --- I know I don't HAVE to buy most of these things to enjoy or
participate in the games. BUT - these games encourage and support such
an approach to play. I don't want that. I don't want the same stuff with
a different twist shoved in my face whenever I turn around. I don't
want rehashed junk pushed on me. I don't want a new edition of the same
game thrust upon me every two or three years because the old version was
somehow not hip enough.
I can't afford it and I just don't care enough.
I have lots of games and gaming stuff. I tend to write and create my own material. The idea is to make money and support an industry - I get that. I feel I've done my bit for the cause during the past 30+ years. Time for others to pick up the torch.
Go forth and conquer.
