Darkson Design teamed up with Pulp City to host a joint event to demo their models and systems at Gencon Indi 2008.
1 hour demo is divided into 7 segments.
Ever wanted to participate in a 2 hour event, but they arent holding it in your area. Well this is what Gencon Indianapolis is great for. All those small systems that never make it you your local gaming store for demos.
I was interested in both Darkson designs alternative World War II system AE WWII and Pulp Citys super hero system. The designers are good friends and decided to host some cross-over events at Gencon, allowing me to see both sets of models and systems in place.
The following 2 hour demo/event has been condensed down to 1 hour in 7 parts.
Parts 1 through 4 are all set up explanation of the system and scenario, while 5-7 are the actual scenario being played.
Both systems are an alternating activation system, that allows both sides of the battle to remain engaged in the course of the game by keeping them actively involved in the play throughout the game, no taking a nap or going to get lunch while your opponent takes his or her turn.
AE WWII has every unit on each side activating for each turn, while Pulp City provides a pool reservoir of actions that can be used to activate the units on each side. Pulp Citys has a maximum number of activations per model, but if you run out of activations in your pool, your side is done that turn, even if your model has not reached its maximum number of activations yet.
Both systems do not allow you to cross over turns to perform multi-activation actions (such as loading which requires 2 activations). AE WWII does have the ability for one model to loan its activations to other models, allowing that other model to activate more times than normal.
As expected, Pulp Cities super heros and villains have multiple wounds, while AE WWIIs individuals have only from 1 to 2 wounds for each model.
AE WWII weapons run the anticipated range of weapons that were available during the time period of 1935 to 1942, but it add in a whole another range of sci-fi and psionic weapons due to the alternative history and expansion of the war from a very Pulp comic book view point. This makes for some very interesting combinations and made for a great pairing with Pulp City and its super heros.
Problems I foresee for Pulp city is making a unique place for itself in the Super-hero miniature market. They do have more depth than Hero clix, so dont go into the game expecting just another game of that. These super heros/villians have agendas to help make their roles unique. But Pulp City might have to do more to make itself more unique than a Champion (Hero Systems) competitor or any of the other Superhero RPG systems that are out there.
AE WWII has created a unique environment for itself that sets itself apart from Flames of War or other WWII miniature games in the market. The designers at Darkson Designs provided a sneak peek at several new models and vehicles to show that the vision that is pushing AE WWII is seeking a fresh approach and is actively seeking to grow their line with quality sculpts and vehicular rules.
What was apparent from both AE WWII and Pulp City is that models and units will die, so the battlefield situation is very dynamic and require tactics and thought to achieve your objective. The straight forward hulk smash mentality will not help you achieve your gaming goals in either of these games.

How delightful to step into the home where God is counselor of both parent and child! How blessed the companionship in such a home! There God counsels in sweet, tender tones. he teaches his will and gives the needed wisdom. God is a man's truest and best teacher. James says, "If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that givest to all men liberally...and it shall be given him." Be the home ever so beautiful, if it is not a house of prayer, it is not a place of true happiness. Parents should often commune with the Lord; especially the mother, with her many cares and perplexities, if she would do justice to the little ones entrusted to her care.

Generally, in the past, when a Canadian reference work was published for the first time the reaction was Its about time! With the publication of the Junior Encyclopedia of Canada we are no longer catching up; we are now leading the pack. Notwithstanding the media hype that announced its publication, this is an outstanding reference work; the claims made for it are generally warranted.
The text of the Junior Encyclopedia of Canada is entirely new, claims the promotional material accompanying the review copy. This is no watered-down version of an adult forerunner; the difference between this and the earlier Canadian Encyclopedia (2nd ed., Hurtig Publishers, 1988) is obvious immediately from the beautiful cover illustration. The larger print, the many colour illustrations, and the emphasis on childrens points of view-the latter most clearly exhibited by the many reference to childrens literature and childrens books-identify this work as unique.
For too long the Canadian education scene has been restricted to information sources that originate in other places and interpret information with other eyes; this encyclopedia will do much to change that situation significantly.

David Sirlins long-awaited, online collectible card game, Kongai, has finally been launched over at Kongregate. After initially finding the game uninteresting I was convinced by our friend Nash to give it another try. Im glad I did, because it really is a great game.
Unfortunately the great game is hidden under a terrifying interface, making the best way to learn the game an in-person tutorial from someone who already knows how to play (which is actually a lot like real card game). On top of this theres a lot of lag and a few server glitches right now that might cause you to lose games even when your victory is imminent (this seems to happen less on ranked matches). Also, theres no ability to play with your friends, which is ironic for a game hosted on a social software site. Finally, the card distribution is draconian, so when someone uses an incredible combo on you its basically impossible to throw together a deck and try the move out for yourself.
None of that, of course, is David Sirlins fault (except maybe the interface stuff) and he deserves credit for creating a really compelling and rewarding game. Everyone should try it out.

The Cosham police sector in Portsmouth, UK introduced a free game that features its actual police officers on trading cards, including their names, pictures, badge numbers, and four ability powers: pedal power, problem solving, agility and strength. The game is called Cop Swap. The idea is to introduce the police force to local youth and get them so excited that theyll trade the cards with their friends in order to collect a complete set.
Fratton sector is now following up on this idea, and gives us complete information about their game.

Yesterday, was a great day. I took a trip out to a rather lovely small town an hour away. My mom had a meeting with a nursing home director out there about getting some of her Psych students out their to spend the day with a resident. I set off with only my map of the grounds to guide me as I adventured around the grounds. It was a lovely day and I spent most of my time lounging around the lake and bought myself a plate of cold pumpkin pancakes from the cafeteria. (They where suprisingly good)
We finally got back in town about 3 o clock. It started to storm and thunder as soon as we got back into town. The weather has been extremely weird the past couple of days. We even had hail yesterday accompanied by thunder and lightning. Maybe I should move somewhere else, preferabbly somewhere with sunny weather. Luckily, one of my favorite movies, Happily Never After, was on. So I atleast had something to do during the storm.
I met my best friend DD at the gym too. We spent some of the time in the recreation room playing cards and messing with each others cell phones. He taught me how to play this card game called Speed and soon we had the whole room of kids asking for a turn. Eventually, I coaxed him into coming upstairs where all the real workout stuff was. We both went into the weight room and took turns doing that thing. I could bench press about 60 pounds, which was I thought was pretty impressive until DD benched 130 pounds. Ugh, maybe weight lifting isnt my thing.

My name is Frank Loran and Ive been assisting people that are in arrears with their credit cards for a considerable amount of time and realize the effect it has on someones life. When you have credit card debt and believe that this matter is out of control, you should make a choice on what to do and make it ASAP. You should not procrastinate until it is too late. As the majority of you bye now already know is that the creditors are not polite when you contact them with complaints with billing. Its extremely remarkable the way it works because when you first get the card they are the politest people when you are speaking to them. Then if you call them to complain about a late or over limit penalty fee and attempt to have it waived enough trying to maintain payments with 8% or even the 7.9 % interest that they are charging on your accounts. How are you suppose to deal with the elevated payments now? It was dreadful enough to manage before the interest was raised. This is exactly why Americans are seeking out other options such as debt settlement vs. credit counseling, or bankruptcy. If you do not know much about these options then I will offer you a little information on them.
Bankruptcy
Up until late 2004 bankruptcy was to be used for consumers who were having serious monetary problems. Sadly it was mistreated by far too many U.S. citizens who were trying to avoid paying their debts. They did not want to take responsibility for their misgivings. The credit card companies were sick and tired of this so they petitioned to have the bankruptcy laws changed. It is now known as the Bankruptcy Abuse Prevention and Consumer Protection act of 2005. This would make it much more of a task for most debtors to file for chapter 7 bankruptcy. Bankruptcy should only be made use of as your last resort option after you have considered every conceivable option. Also you should understand the consequences that could come back later down the road. You would have to hire an attorney, go to court and that could cost you a lot of money. There is also the issue of it being on your credit history for a long time. When you filling out any significant application or document you will always have to say yes when asked the question about bankruptcy, so this does have a very negative long lasting effect on your credit.
texas Debt Consolidation Credit Counseling
Everywhere you look, either on TV or the radio, you will hear about credit counseling. A credit counseling firm will attempt to get the credit card companies to reduce the APR on your credit cards. You then make one monthly payment to the consumer credit counseling firm and they then make your payments to each one of your creditors on your behalf. The drawback to this option is even though they reduce your interest on your credit card balances you could still pay back as much as 135% of what you currently owe.
This is because joining this sort of plan you will still be paying back what you owe plus some of the interest for around 4 to 7 years. Almost 80% of the people that are in these programs dont graduate from the program for missing as much as one payment. Another draw back to credit counseling is that if you have a money problem and are cannot make your monthly payment they will boot you out of the program at once. They will also bump up your interest back up and the creditor could keep you off for a minimum of one year and sometimes even longer. This will put you right back to where you started from, if not in a worse predicament.
Debt Settlement
This is the avenue which can save you the greatest amount of money. A good standing debt settlement company will save you at least 40% of what you currently owe. The 40% should include all of their charges. Just as with consumer credit counseling, you will hear a lot of TV and radio ads quite often. These organizations are opening up everywhere across our beloved country. Some of these companies try to make it appear like they have a magical wand and are going to make all your debt vanish extremely easily.
There are also many companies that try to use religion to gain the trust of debtors. Whatever company you are talking to it is your responsibility to due diligence on them. You can always begin with the BBB (Better Business bureau). You should be able to discover a lot about a company from the Better Business Bureau. If you see that a company has only been in settling debts for a little while and has a slew of complaints towards them, then you know to stay away. One more thing to keep an eye out for is how much time has the company been around. Some organizations only make it a couple of years before they go out of business or get caught stealing peoples money. Then some of them only stick around to make as much money as they can and close down just to open up across townday.
Escaping the debt trap should be the most important thing to any consumer stuck deep in the credit card debt treadmill cycle.

London has some of the finest museums in the whole world in actuality it has several hundreds of museums and fairs both big and tiny. There are stacks to select from however for clear reasons a few are more visited than others. A number of the most fashionable ones to stop at today comprise of the British Museum, Natural History and Science Museum, Victoria Albert Museum, Imperial War Museum and the National Maritime Museum. Check out Time Out today for the latest London Attractions.
The British Museum is open yet again, but with a considerable restoration and is generally agreed as being the best museum on the whole planet where incredible three thousand year old Egyptian Queens have a substantially more demanding life after death than they had anticipated. To be found in the Centre of the City this is without doubt one of the finest museums in London to take your children to. There are bags of amazing collected works and rooms to discover, some of which include the reading room the recent African collection, which has been said to be the worlds biggest most excellent in terms of assortment and quality with well over 200,000 historical objects.

The Victoria Albert museum also more generally identified as the VA is a massive museum overflowing with history. Its worth an outing just for the cast digs alone. The museum itself is free to enter and is the worlds main decorative and arts and design museum. The Imperial War Museum looks a lot at the experience of the war rather than its prosecution. Some specific displays like that of the “The Blitz” “The Holocaust” are fairly heartbreaking.

It's a game of Cornish tin mining and the goal is to extract as much tin and copper as possible, sell it for cash and use the cash to spend on external investments which are victory points. The game is set over 4 turns and each turn is divided into 10 days. On your turn you can choose from a variety action some of which take more days than others, so you take and action and move your marker along the days track, the turn order is constantly changing from turn to turn as the rear most marker denotes who's turn is next.
The mines are bought at auction and you need to plan your purchases carefully, this part of the game reminded me of the auctions in Power Grid, time it right and you can pick a bargain, get it wrong and everyone will bid the price up. The cost of extracting the tin and copper is determined by the amount of water in your mine. the more water, the more expensive it is. You can remove the amout of water your mines by adding things like a port or a train, some of these will also help neighbouring mines so you have to plan your mine purchases carefully. I've never been a big fan of some of Martin Wallace's games but this is lighter and less fiddly than his normal fare, there's still a lot going on and you have to keep your wits about you.

As none of us had played it before we weren't too sure of the best strategies I managed to get all 6 of my mines on the board by the 3rd turn and by the end of the game had extracted all the ore, I was quite pleased with this, I also spent as much as I could afford on VPs early in the game when you can buy more for your money. This seems to have worked quite well for me as I managed a rare win. Now that we've got the hang of it things may be very different the next time we play.

With a bit of time left over we had a go at the Ticket to Ride Card Game. It's hardly surprising that this is a card game version of the popular board game, I had high hopes for this as in general I've liked most of Alan Moon's designs. The card play is similar to the board game where you can choose any 2 exposed cards or take them blind from the face down stack. You also have a set of destination cards to choose from the same way as the board game, these card have several coloured dots on which correspond to the colours of the train cards. Whare the game differs is that you can play a set of card face up on the table in front of you, 3 different coloured cards or as many as you like of a single colour stacked on top of each other. The next player can play the same colour as you unless he can play more is which case all of yours end up in the discard pile.

For those of you who care then the server issues have temporarily been fixed, the problem is that (it gets technical now, sorry, it gets interesting in the next paragraph though, and not geek interesting but user interesting) we've switched from a worker MPM to a prefork MPM and that has caused mod_cband to leak memory like a person with amnesia, basically our 4GB of RAM gets used up within half an hour and it starts using the harddisk to store data, that's slow and eventually makes the server crash.

So the solution for now is that mod_cband is disabled, this means that we can't limit bandwidth per user so the usual 300kb/s limit doesn't exist at the moment. But don't waste time partying because we're looking for a fix already so it won't be like this forever.

While there were a number of video games available at New York Comic Con, one game stood out as the most fun thing we played at the show floor. It was a Call of Duty game, yes -- but it wasn't a video game. The Call of Duty card game is a nice surprise, especially for someone that's grown tired of the repetitive (and expensive!) CCG market.

You can read Stephen Totilo's excellent write-up at MTV Multiplayer to understand how the game is played -- but needless to say, this is an easy game to pick up and understand. It's a bit daunting at first, especially with its radically different design. The "real time" card engine forced players to be quick of mind, as a constant barrage of attacks can overwhelm the opponent, and lead to victory. Players can continue drawing and using cards until one of two cards is played: Pause and Nightfall. Pause cards will simply don players a special power, such as laying a mine, or throwing a grenade. However, Nightfall is where all your actions are tallied up, and casualties can accumulate.

In order to recreate the chaotic feel of the Call of Duty games, the card game is designed to make players throw down as many cards down as possible. However, no card takes effect until Nightfall. For example, I may have a soldier at risk of dying, as a Fire card is thrown on him. However, if I get a Move card, I can move him out of the way. If by Nightfall, the soldier is clear of any fatal cards, he'll survive for the next bout. It's a fascinating concept that forces very quick, strategic use of each card.
