Tabletop Gaming

[acefisher1]

So I've been playing tabletop games more than video games recently. I play a variety and thought some of you may be interested in them. If not, don't worry, but don't be put off by the "thats too geeky" thought either, you never know, it might be just the right amount of "geeky" for you!

There is generally too much to describe about each game so i'm going to post a short theme for each, if you're interested, hit the developer link, or PM me to talk about them.

If anyone is interested in any of these games, or wants more information please feel free to PM me. I'd love to talk about some tabletop stuff with anyone!

A list of games I play:

Malifaux - A Steampunk / Fantasy Skirmish (quick and small model count) Game
Warhammer 40K - A full scale wargame - Future Sci-fi setting.
Warmachine / Hordes - A steampunk sci-fi skirmish game
Super Dungeon Explore! - Interesting board game that plays like a video game dungeon crawler. Really cute design and easy to play.

A comprehensive list of games by publisher:

On my budget I am all about the pre-painted mini's. I'm a huge fan of Axis & Allies: Naval Warfare. Great game, great looking miniatures.

I see that pen & paper RPGs are officially not a sub-genre of tabletop games.
If I had more patience, more time, friends who play the game, and more money, I would probably play warhammer 40,000.

When I was in Italy for a few years when I was younger Warhammer 40K was huge, lots of us kids played it, great fun, never followed the directions properly which lead to outrageous fighting haha. I would love to play now, but its so expensive!

You missed Flames of War, large scale WW2 game.

I love me some 40k. Favorite setting for pretty much anything. I don't get out much so I haven't ever played an official game but I have a couple of tiny armies. I love painting them, that's where I really got into the hobby. Also the books, can't get enough of those.
