Nerds in the forces

But remember:

You must fight the gazebo alone.

I have a +5 warhammer of gazebo slaying (20 oz plumb claw hammer)...I am not afraid of the gazebo.

You may have defeated the Gazebo, but you really should have known better than to pick up a duck.

 

[Wookilar]

HA! That's awesome.

Is that Munchkin? I've always wanted to pick up a copy, might have to buy myself a Christmas present (heaven knows 9D doesn't encourage me enough lol).

Wook

 

[OldSolduer]

I love smiting stuff....and people on occassion

 

[Danjanou]

WTF?

I know wargaing is an approved means of training (think Contact 3 to Tacops CF for the land force) but Warhammer?

You never know when we may be on a NATO/UN Peace Enforcment Mission involing  and or engaging Orc, Dwarves and Elves.  8)

In fact I'm sure there are several under employed senior ranking cubicle dwellers in Disneyland on the Rideau at this very moment planning this possibility.  :

 

[dapaterson]

Yes, that's Munchkin.  As is the Gazebo reference.

And we won't even begin to discuss The Sword of Slaying Everything (except Squid) or The Kneepads of Allure.

When you're ready I will introduce you all to Him.

It is the Christmas season.  Time to make snowflakes.

 

[Brasidas]

OK, so my less socially acceptable side is coming out; I was very much into Avalon Hill and SPI wargames (excuse me; Combat Simulations) and highly approved of systems like Contact 3 or Tacops CF since they actually do simulate combat in a reasonably realistic manner.  Most modern wargames I see in the shop really don't pass my sniff test (and I am not a big fan of first person shooters, since that is too much like work....)

Some friends have tried to explain the Warhammer 40,000 game, but my eyes glaze over....

I'm still playing tabletop conversions from stuff like Avalon Hill and ADG. There has yet to be a real wargame built from the ground up in that genre for the computer. Not a fan of lasso-and-click real-time "strategy" (tactical) games, and I'd rather have an easily readable 2D map than 3d window dressing.

Some day, a nerd's going to create a game engine suited to AI play in a decent strategy game. In the meantime, I'll keep playing conversions of games like World in Flames that require other nerds to play with on a pretend tabletop.

Technoviking has his own demotivational poster? Cool!

Ah the Evil Empire, aka Games Workshop 40k game sysytems, pretty models and don't like the unrelaistic rules, wait six months and they'll change them just enough to make all your rules books obsolete and force you to buy new ones.

Not unlike Wizards of the Coast and the D&D books over the years......oh.....cr@p........darn it...now I do believe I've outed myself as well.
