play is sacred


The perfect light skirmish game is something I've been chasing for a long time. Something with light unit count and decent depth. The dream would be to like one enough to inspire a local scene, but the realistic hope is just finding really good ones. Neither happens very often.

I try many, rarely finding much reason to stick around. Unmatched seemed like it could've worked early on but faceplanted pretty hard with the licensed sets, not to mention a refusal to ever adjust or errata anything. Warhammer Underworlds was good but got buried under a deluge of product with little support otherwise. Summoner Wars 2nd Ed is great, but came out in the midst of the plague times which gutted its chance of catching on. That one still hurts.

I hold out hope, I always do. Gonna try a few more soonish that hopefully impress or at least entertain. Sometimes I even wonder if I like this genre as much as I just like the idea of it.
