Wherein the StupidRanger Crew converges…

I’m happy to report that the entire StupidRanger crew has converged at StupidRanger West Headquarters.  Vanir and Efreak have joined us on their vacation, so the whole band is back together for the first time in over a year.  This means several things: gaming, gaming, and more gaming.

And nobody will have to decide anything…

As some of you may remember, Efreak has an aversion to traditional D&D.  It happens to also be Vanir’s birthday this week, so we gifted him an acceptable alternative to this situation: Talisman, by Fantasy Flight Games.  So this weekend we will be giving this one a try.  The graphics and look of it reminds me of an old game I used to play as a kid named Hero Quest.  This one appears to be less dungeony and more card-based, but it still looks like it will be a good time.

This is a considerable departure from our usual gaming motives.  Previously, our group has proven to be very change-averse so trying out a new type of game is a pretty big deal for us.  Here’s to hoping it’s fun!
