Second weekend has passed...

Ok, sorry for the delay folks! I got a little bummed when we didn't play for the second weekend back on campus but I am currently in the process of getting a game set for Sunday! Other that that little bit of excitement, I am currently thinking of markers for my campaign and a new battle mat. I am excited at the prospect of continuing the game and should it get started again I'm looking at how to represent the endless zombie hordes (once we get to the apocalypse).

I am all about visual representation, i think that it adds a lot to the game to see where you are and to also see where the enemy is. And since I'm all about visual representation, I try to do my best to get characters figurines as close to the character as possible. I also work hard to get models that visually represent the enemy. With that being said, I was very excited to hear about the Wargames Factory: Zombie Horde. A box at a cheap rate (about 1/2 the price of Warhammer zombies) with a more modern feel! I'm looking into getting one of these boxes, maybe two. Here's the companies page on them: http://www.wargamesfactory.com/_product_16676/Zombie_Horde

I think they're pretty cool. I also made a few small purchases this summer. I found that the old Star Wars miniatures line from Wizards of the Coast had some good female characters that could be painted to look like modern individuals. I got two of them, and am looking at purchasing a few more to round out the group. Should be exciting. Next time I'll talk about the battle mat I have, and what I plan to do to add to the mapping ability.

ALSO!!!! If anyone has any ideas about topics i should discuss, OR just have an idea of something for the campaign, ADD A COMMENT AND TELL ME! I am all for new ideas, or ideas about something I said or anything! Look forward to hearing from you readers!

Toxyderms

One of my favorite boss monsters is the Toxyderm found in the Urban Arcana book. for some reason, the idea of some gigantic nuclear sludge being fought by several PCs seems like such a cool fight. It isn't fun that it's so huge and utterly destructive/strong but I hope that by the time I can actually use it as a fair challenge, that will just add to the contest. One of these days, I would love to pit the players against one of these Toxyderms in a post Apocalypse setting. I would probably make them the beings found in the center of a destroyed city or something like that (ground zero from the nuclear blast) or roving across the planet and threatening the PCs after some time. Sounds like a good time to me, hopefully my Players agree that it'd be a good time...
