I sat down today and wrote up my thoughts on the Solomon Kane Castle of the Devil trade paperback. I wrote too many words again, so the summary has to be: Fun!

This Gamorrean Guard action figure was on display at the Hot Toys store. He looks very neat and I'm happy that he's already on pre-order. They were selling him, but carrying a toy of this size home would kinda suck.

Gina and I are packed and headed out for vacation in Hong Kong. I have a tiny bit of work-related stuff to do in the city but this is a vacation and the plan is to have as much fun as possible . . . after the miserable plane trip to the city.

I'll be posting updates at battlegrip.com and will try to remember to post here at least once. But at the moment it is time to get ready to rush to the airport. Bye, gang!

I've been reading Warhammer FRP 3rd Edition* lately and I'm really torn. On the one hand, I'm loving the approach to the game and how much more boardgame like the entire system feels. On the other hand, and thankfully I only have two hands, I'm unsure if I like this better than the 2e rules.

I suspect the answer is that each does something better than the other, but I thought I'd ask for opinions. Anyone out there have experience or comments on the newer edition of the game? Likes? Dislikes? Did it kick you when you weren't looking?

I found the missing adventure, so I now have a complete set. Awesome! Now to find time, interest, and people willing to actually play the game. Even setting aside a simple 4-hours each week is tough to do; being an adult isn't as easy as I thought it would be.

It's time for another trip to Hong Kong, and this time it's for vacation with Gina. We're leaving on Monday and will be gone about a week, during which time I'll post updates to battlegrip.com and the SJGames website. I'm looking forward to another great time in the city . . . and to finding more awesome toys to drag home.

Damn! I snagged the last book I was missing yesterday but when I went to add it to the collection I found that the Free RPG Day adventure is missing. Where in the hell are you, adventure? Did you run off and start a campaign by yourself?

I'm out of here in a few more hours, scheduled to spend the weekend in Seattle for PAX. I'll definitely post something from the show over at www.battlegrip.com and may even get an update in at www.gmoracle.com.

Any of you guys going to be at the show?
