We’ve added a new name to the Moose family – Noelinho has transferred his existing site over. Enjoy.

We are working on a new style for the main page – something really stylish ;) Hopefully we’ll get something up within the next 4-6 weeks.

Lastly, we are working on a new subdomain ourselves – but it’s a secret at the moment. We’ll keep you posted ;)

Well, that’s the Introduction to BattleTech out the way.

I’m in two minds about talking Ruth in to playing a wee game (using the quickstart rules, if I can find all the stuff that goes along with it), or just soldiering on to the main Rulebook and investing in a battletech map and a couple of miniatures.

The first option isn’t too likely (of convincing Ruth OR finding the Quickstart game stuff) and the second option means I can dig out all my old paints (which I used for painting my Warhammer 40K troops) and gives me an excuse to buy a couple of mechs.

Not that I need an excuse you understand…

I’ve just finished Storm Warriors by Brian Craig, which is part of the Orfeo Trilogy (Games Workshop’s Warhammer setting). Like the first two, and so many more, the review is in progress. ;)

What I’ve started at the moment proves that I’m too far down the path of Geekdom to ever turn back.

What I’m reading at the moment is:

Introduction To BattleTech

leading on to

The BattleTech Rulebook

and then

BattleTech Master Rules.

Wow. What a geek.

So, at lunch today, I’ll be reading Introduction To Battletech, proudly procaiming to the world at large that I am a geek.

What surprises me though, is the reactions of the others in the office when they see me reading this stuff.

So far I’ve worked through a JavaScript HowTo guide, The Day of the Beast Call of Cthulhu campaign book, numerous graphic novels and comics (all with bags and backing boards) and never a comment was made or eyebrow raised.

But bring in the rulebook for a tabletop gaming system and they all start looking at me like I’m not from round here. (Folks from round here ain’t from round here… never mind…)
