Alongside the Last Chancers painting competition, I have been talking quite a bit with my friend Chris of Chris' Miniature Woes (I've been needling him to get his blog up and running again as he has painted some lovely stuff recently) and lamenting about how little actual gaming we do.
A lot of it is down to lack of time;
I work full time and have a family, so that obviously impacts on my hobby time,
or having things prepared;
Equally I am not about to start gaming without using painted miniatures (the horror).
On the thoughts of it all though, I remembered that my copy of Silver Tower was sitting there and you can throw down and complete a trial in a couple of hours at most.
I really like the game of Silver Tower, a few thoughts are given here by The Bardic Bard if you have about 15 minutes to watch his cracking unboxing of the game.
Whilst I disagree with him on some parts, he is right on the money about others.
Earlier this evening, with the youngster in bed, I purposely sat down, WITHOUT paintbrush in hand, to play through the first trial of the Silver Tower.
I'm going to post up my first adventure following my favourite character, The Fyreslayer Doomseeker, Uthared the Lost, in a bit.
I plan on working through all eight trials following the exploits of Uthared and the fellow adventurers he meets throughout his journey, maybe once a fortnight or so when my work shifts go back to normal.
Until next time...
