Midnight & OD - Old Dwarf - 11-25-2009 05:23 PM It all started in complete innocence,FFG announced it had a new Game in the works called Runewars. & from there things began to snowball. It was a 200+ fig game with modular tiles ,4 Fractions + Neutrals.Build your territory,raise armies ,Heroes go on Quest.In short the type of thing I'm a sucker for,so it's set in the FFG world of Runebound. Runebound,popular FFG Game with 4 Major Expansions that I never really checked out ,actually it has a ton of small Card Deck expansions so I thought it was a CCG & never bothered further.However,with Runewars as a motivator & check out Runebound & saw it was an Adventure like ME Quest.I decided to pick it up along with a few card deck expansions thinking it would be fun to play & possibly provide some background to Runewars.It turned out to be a great Solo Game & BGG provided some interesting variants. So far so good but alas now I'm rather hooked on the Game & begin to check out it's Big Box Expansions. I discover Midnight the 1st Expansion,it's not set in the Runebound world like the base game & other expansions-no it's set in the world of the Midnight RPG. Midnight is set in a world where Evil has won & the Heroes are just trying to stave off the final triumph of the shadow. It's somewhat Horror meets Fantasy,Tolkien & HPL together at last.I want this!Problem it's OoP & with no chance of it being reissued.But I want this!!! I check out the people that want to Trade their copy on BGG, but I either don't have what they want or even if I do they won't trade.Some guy in S.Korea has one for sale (like that's gonna to happen)Then Troll & Toad the company I love to hate offers one up for $104 & then on ebay for $114- hey I want this but I don't need this! Then suddenly a copy comes up on Ebay with no reserve & only 1 bidder trying to low ball.I jump on it for $19.& put in a reserve bid going up to the original price of the Game. It's a 5 day auction & on the 3rd day I get out bid.So I rebid & set a new max at $55.The 5th day (the auction is up at 9:30PM) a new push gets the cost up to $46.So from about 8PM on I watch the auction count down figuring in the last minute their gonna try again..they didn't & I WON!Probably what helped was that another copy of the game still in shrink was offered about a day later so there were other options besides the copy I was bidding on. That copy went the next day for $30 more than I paid for mine. My copy arrived Yesterday & its now on the Table-oh to better understand the Midnight background I found a copy of the RPG 1st edition cheap & a couple of the source books.No wounder I can't retire. So this is my Thankgiving Gaming.

RE: Midnight & OD - Old Dwarf - 11-27-2009 07:16 PM Well I've been working on it since the late 50's:rolleyes: OD RE: Midnight & OD - deadandwalking - 11-27-2009 08:00 PM so you're an antiquitist? sorry..had to.

RE: Midnight & OD - Old Dwarf - 12-02-2009 12:41 PM Doctor D Wrote:so how much games do you have? I'm not really sure probably around 300:rolleyes: thats Board Games & around a 1000 pained figs (& 2000 unpainted ones:shy: )Mostly stuff for WH Quest,LoTR,Hyborian-Archeron vs Hybori & The Royal Hyborian Age (Conan's time). I also have an Age of Napoleon & an American War for Independence projects ready to paint but i'm just out of a painting mood-I finished up my Royal Hyborian Age 6mm figs late last year (it was a 2 year priject) & it sort of painted me out. But it keeps me out of pool halls OD RE: Midnight & OD - supervike - 12-02-2009 03:56 PM What is it about these types of hobbies that make us obsessive hoarders? RE: Midnight & OD - Old Dwarf - 12-03-2009 11:38 PM supervike Wrote:What is it about these types of hobbies that make us obsessive hoarders? Hoarders?...well in a way,I do have games I'll probably never play again:rolleyes:But than again any Hobby promotes the collection of whatever it is that makes up the Hobby.Fishing Lures,Golf Clubs, Stamps. I get a lot of enjoyment out of pulling out an old game & just reading its rules.Plus I tend to go in cycles, sometimes getting back in an historical wargame mood or trying SiFi. OD RE: Midnight & OD - Patient Zero - 12-05-2009 07:45 PM Wow, this has turned quickly into an intervention. I think you might be able to get Flying frog to be a sponsor, but they might get a little angry when they realize they've been pulled into a rather awkward pun.... (at which point they will get pictures of all of us and photo shop us into zombies, which will finally explain how the zombie outbreak occurred). |
