I played board wargames and role playing games (AD&D and many others) during high school and college. Once I graduated, life
\nbecame too complicated and distances to friends who played became too far to keep up.Since then, many of the games I enjoyed have gone away though I still have copies of quite a few. Some including Star Fleet Battles<\/a> and StarFire\u00a0<\/a>are still out there (and the RPG world seems to continue to flourish).\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’ve actually updatedmy Star Fleet Battles <\/a>(tactical) and Federation and Empire<\/a> (strategic) sets recently. I’m also getting the core game set for Federation Commander<\/a>\u00a0as a simplified introduction to the game system. \"\"<\/a>I am realizing that however much I enjoyed the full sized games, introducing friends who haven’t played them to the rules sets would be a bit much. \"\"<\/a>The faster playing, less complex federation commander seems like a good starter as do the introductory rules from ADB.\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I also have quite a few games where components have been spread around the house as I’ve looked at getting them out to use in the past and never gotten to playing. I’ll be looking at doing things over the next year or so if I can find opponents, time and opportunity. Gaming online seems like the ideal solution for some of these games as the play times can be long but the copyright issues loom large for anything that I don’t create from scratch myself. We’ll see what happens on that front.<\/p>\n
