First D&D character I played/ new craze: HeroClix!

          This is the first character I played from the Dungeons and Dragons: Castle Ravenloft board game. I really like playing Rogues for some reason. I always felt they had many abilities I would have loved to aquire.. maybe in another lifetime or something. All that sneaky business, finding and disabling traps, being adept at killing quickly and they just feel oh so dangerous too! 

        I do plan on going through the first scenario of the board game with each character though, this one again just to see how easy it is for each one. I can even try with the characters from the other D&D board game I have (Legend of Drizzt) to see how easily they get through the scenarios as well.. So lot of options, and the board/ monsters I may encounter will never be the exact same.

        Back to KAT, the human Rogue. I definitely had to play this one first as well, because it was interesting that I have a story about a Rogue (/Assassin) that was nicknamed Kat.. guess I will have to omit her nickname and just go by her full first name.. but she is a half elf not human. Another reasoning behind why I chose this character. :D

       On to another topic... HeroClix.. well I played a few days ago! I am very addicted. I have 17 now, ranging from Lord of The Rings, to Marvel (10th anniversary to be exact) and the starting pack for Watchmen. I think I might be clearing the table to try a battle royale style game so I can get familiar with all the different abilities and how to play. (Unless I can convince my boyfriend to play then we will just do a standard game) With this new craze I realize I find myself wondering how many multiple player games I have that I can try and play alone.. I would have to think up game mechanics for them to work.. At least for this one the whole battle royale style kind of seems to intrigue me.

       

        Okay that might sound kind of weird! I guess I don't really care because it's really difficult to get people together to game. I suppose that I will have to see what I can do! 

Woot! :D

Woot! I found 4 decks of playing cards, 2 Spiderman, 1 Pirates of the Caribbean, the last one Final Fantasy VII: Advent Children. Now to decide as supper is cooking (just some pasta), what it is that I would like to play for a card game.. Normal solitaire, Or Clock Solitaire. I have yet to figure out how to do any other solo games with a plain deck of playing cards. I mean I have played spider solitaire and another game using cards on the computer but there is just something about touching the cards and actually physically playing a game with a deck of cards that I have always enjoyed. Sure I can play these games on the computer for many hours but give me a deck of cards and I can play for many more hours then I would play on the same games on the computer.

Anyhow supper is  done so I am going to go and watch a tv show. Maybe later I will try and play solitaire or clock solitaire. Right now I do feel kind of like relaxing and catching up on a show I have been watching lately, a show called "Bones".

Anyhow until next time! Happy questing! :D

Post #1: Start of a new journey.

So tonight I thought I would start a blog about my adventures in board games, adventures that I take as a solo adventurer. I love games. Games of all kinds whether it is card based, console based, or board game based. It doesn't seem to matter because I can never get enough of any of them. 

Sadly it’s hard sometimes to get people together sitting around and play board games. Such a tragedy, people don’t know what they are missing these days. My main love, if you haven’t already noticed is board games especially anything RPG based. You know, because that is just how I roll.

Quite a few months back I gamed with a few friends playing D&D (Dungeons & Dragons.). It was my first time ever playing, even though I have wanted to play for longer then I can remember. It was a fantastic time but made me realize how much I miss board games!

I now own 2 of the D&D board games and was excited to see that they have solo adventures. Yes I realize that this isn’t exactly the same as playing the original D&D but I will take what I can get when I can get it.

I have been meaning to play one of the solo adventures for a very long time and just a few days ago I bought the D&D: Castle Ravenloft board game. (That now makes 2! D&D: Legend of Drizzt being the first).  Tonight well technically this morning I played the solo campaign. It was quite fun and I managed to beat the first solo adventure pretty easily. I think I might have wanted a few more enemies to bash then I had. Over all the instructions were fairly clear on what to do to set up and play. 

Lately I suppose I am getting bored with my mundane life.. and have to liven it up again. Going to and from work without a whole lot in between has kind of gotten me a bit batty! I haven't really been doing a whole lot... so maybe with this blog and the fact that I am now not worried what people might think of my solo gaming.. If it wasn't an option in the board games they would probably sit around collecting a lot of dust and cobwebs. At least this way they will be used more often and maybe I can from time to time entice my boyfriend to sit down and play a board game with me. 

Well then I suppose that would not be a reason to blog about.. especially with the name of this particular blog. I suppose until next time I might have some better things to talk about.. being up until 4 in the am is probably not a good idea.. though of course I did have a really long nap this afternoon/evening.. So I am not really tired either...

I am itching to play the other 1 player scenario in Castle Ravenloft right now... Why not? I am up at the moment anyway! :D

Oh yeah and I am not endorsing any of these games. Just sharing a passion and a past time of mine. :)

Have a great day/ night! Whichever it happens to be when you happen upon this blog. Until next time! Happy gaming! :D
