Ian On The Red Dot

Last Friday, FO, Aaron, Aaron’s wife and me went to L’estaminet at Greenwood where we have an amazingly large family sized pizza for dinner. The pizza as usual was delicious.

After dinner, FO took out his set of Arkham Horror and started teaching us how to play the game. The game has an extremely rich storyline and gameplay. I’m a big fan of Buffy and the game allowed my inner slayer to roam free. I’m pretty sure we didn’t get to appreciate the full texture of the game that night. If only we had more time, and more experience in playing the game, we could have invested more in the storytelling elements - the lighting where we sat suited the game. No matter. The game was still terribly enjoyable.

I was probably the most useless player on the team. Notwithstanding the fact I was a bit distracted what with the beer and chatting with the staff, the character I chose, while in theory should have been a mighty slayer of monsters and seasoned sealer of portals, was a nun who pretty much didn’t contribute the whole night. I’m pretty sure I played the character wrongly. Should have focused more on spells.

Only managed to vanquish like two monsters and sealed one portal. Terrible.

I can imagine Asha Gill pointing at me and proclaiming I was the weakest link.

Somehow this photo turned out wrong yet seemed so suited to the theme of the game:
