Prezcon and Shadows

I went to a convention this past weekend called Prezcon.  Prezcon is a boardgaming convention that has the Winter National Tournaments for several well known games including Settlers of Catan.  I just go for the open gaming.  My buddies AJ, Dan, and Alan went also.  We played a ton of games and I did get to put Shadows of Brimstone on the table.
So here's the problem... there is so much stuff with Shadows that it is easy to get overwhelmed in detail.  I just brought some of the miniatures and sets, but I see now that I still brought too much.  I think the game just does not lend itself to travel.  We had fun, but it was not the "Wow!" experience I was hoping to convey.  The mini's did look kickin', so I was happy with that.
I am almost finished with the Black Fang Tribe and I will get some pics up soon of them.  I am experimenting with some custom bases using Green Stuff World's Textured Rolling Pins.  I am really jazzed to try them out.
On the right, I am playing some of my favorite albums from Spotify.  I like a variety of genres so check it out. You might find a hidden gem to add to your collection!  Last week was a concept Album by Ayreon.  It tells of a doomed world and the rebirth of an entire race.  Ayreon is the brain child of Arjen Lucassen.  He is an incredibly talented musician and well respected in the metal/progressive rock community.  This week features Mandalla by Kitaro.  This is classified as New Age- but it is so much more than that.  Kitaro is from Japan, and his music has won awards for the past thirty years.  I hope you enjoy!
