Same. Used to play the old Warlords games (way, way back in the day), sometimes when someone would call and my side of the "conversation" was listening to them prattle on. I'd start up a game at 7 pm, they'd finally hang up and I'd be all: "Just a couple more turns..." Suddenly, it's 3 am...

There's a Dali painting in there somewhere.

At the moment and in no order:

Pax Pamir, 2nd edition
Battlelore, 2nd edition
Theseus: The Dark Orbit
Wiz-War
Neuroshima Hex
Cosmic Encounter
Blue Moon
Chaos in the Old World
Root
Modern Art

Honorable mention: Magical Athlete

Yeah, he was excellent. I really liked Hailee Stanfield, too. My lone complaint was that they stuck with bog-standard vampire stuff, when they could have done something much more original and rooted in the culture of the Delta.

Ankylosaurus. Hammerhead. Devon Rex. I like the quirky stuff (plus my Devon was probably my favorite of my many cats.)

Using Doku as kind of a rover on that front line, showing up forward, deep, right, left, whatever has been a smart move from Pep. He's eating Conor alive on that left side, but keeps contributing all over the pitch.

Even out of possession, which is unusual. I think the idea is to just sit in and wait for them to go through their 100 pass rotations and then be in position to immediately break in our attacking formation.

Yeah, I like the Hammer stuff, by and large. I appreciate that they had more room under the production code in the 60s to expand on the stories, both plot-wise and visually. I've never seen any of the Naschy stuff, so I'd be interested in recs.

Was really eager to try this, but your reaction mirrors mine, in that this is a modern "lifestyle" game, where it would have to be the only thing on the table for weeks to maybe feel like you've begun to explore it and I don't feel like I have that kind of time/focus, anymore.
