I really am terrible at updating this blog.
To be honest, I want to change the name of the blog. Over the last few years I've indulged in gaming of many kinds and I've found there are many types of game that don't float my boat. I've found myself always going back to the same kind of games.
The main types of game I've realised I don't enjoy so much are mostly board games. Euro-games are ok played once in a blue moon, but on the whole they run dry when repeated. Deck builders I find a little too abstract, but I can see where they can possibly work - in fact I have half an eye on the Street Fighter deck builder.
On the whole I've realised I like the games with story, usually cooperative games, that immerse you and your co-gamers in a universe. Eldritch Horror and Gears of War have been classics with my gaming group and I'm looking forward to taking a better look at XCOM the board game.
My gaming group have also delved into RPGing a little and we've always craved doing more, we just lack the individual in the group who has a deep love for being GM. We've shared the load a little, but to really get into RPGing you need that individual driving force - in fact that could go for all games (possible blog post for the future...)!
