I live again! I can hear the crowd now...

So first thing I did was leave 90% of the Warmachine FB groups I was in (All the faction ones and some general groups got turfed, relevant local meta groups were kept).

Gif says most of it. Sad reality is that the groups are mostly whiny bitching and circular arguments, a dip in games meant trying to keep interest previously via the web and it was actually worse than if it wasn't there. I won't be rejoining. Not being part of the zeitgeist inevitably means not keeping track of the latest hot army lists everyone's planning for, really that's a made up. Same way the Globalist meta isn't real.

Anyway, I spent my time starting to dabble in:

Monpoc!
It's alright. Don't care about the technical definitions of the terms, Monpoc feels far more like a Boardgame cribbing Wargame elements than anything else. It might be great when it's revved up to it's intended level with 2 monsters and deathclocks, at present after a few weeks of slow growing-ness one Monster games I'm neither disappointed nor excited. Definitely been spoiled by Warmachine in terms of army selections, already seen the Base Destroyer Monster (Gorgorthalaaksdjfhaskfh) way more often than I care for, though the addition of time will presumably fix that.
Done some board games, local group I play with isn't down for the 3-4 hour complex style for the most part, so Twilight Imperium isn't happening anytime soon. Successes are Whitehall Mystery/Galaxy Trucker/Coup/Lovecraft Letter/Cosmic Encounter.
Anyway actually got some Warmachine in, going for more scenario/assassination gameplay. Attrition/Clock is more effort.
