Just found my first major bug in Sins2. Playing as Advent for the first time. The defending Vasari starbase has moved out of the gravity well so far that my ships can't pursue it. I can't attack the planet because the planetary shield on it requires the starbase to be destroyed first.

Lord of the Rings: Fate of the Fellowship by @zmangamesofficial.bsky.social arrived yesterday evening. I've built the dice tower, not been through the rules yet. It feels like a lot of love went into making this a nice game to open.
Looking forward to getting my arse kicked 😃

Found a major piece of errata in Aliens Another Glorious Day in the Corps by @galeforcenine.bsky.social ... Spunkmeyer's first name shown as Daniel when everyone knows it's Goddamit.

Using the new 3D printed board pieces from Artificers Forge. Hudson ran a bypass. Ripley, Gorman and Apone completely failed to hit one. Single. Alien 🤣

My 3D printed doors and barricades for Aliens AGDitC by @galeforcenine.bsky.social arrived today.
This time round it was mostly a prezzie from family. Mostly.
Can't wait to use these in a game. As with my previous purchase, these exactly match their piccies on the Artificers Forge website.

First time playing Xia - Legends of a Drift System. Good fun. Felt like Star Wars Outer Rim with extras. You can do all kinds of things to win but I just put lots of guns on my spaceship then killed one of my best friends, or worse, damaged his ship so much he could only limp around slowly.

These arrived today for Aliens Another Glorious Day in the Corps by @galeforcenine.bsky.social and I'm very pleased. They look just like they do on the Artificer's Forge website.

Aliens AGDitC is a great game but the aliens themselves are very prone to falling over during play. Solved by gluing a washer underneath. Sorted.

In Aliens AGDitC we sometimes lose track of which marines have played in a turn. Bug Stomper only marks the current one in play.
I've no use for crate tiles as I've bought the model pack so I've started using crate tiles to mark marines already played this turn. @galeforcenine.bsky.social

Stayed away from Civ 6 for years though bought on day 1. Strongly dislike the religion game mechanics (optional in Civ 5). Found a mod that's been around for years but new to me, "Religion Expanded" by p0kiehl and set no. of religions to zero.
This is the most I've enjoyed a game of Civ in years.
