My May Gaming

 While May was a month where I made a lot of Print and Play Projects, it wasn’t a month where I learned a lot of new games. To be fair, I was making fresh copies of games or systems I was already familiar with. 

I learned:

Mysticana - Sorcerer’s Showdown

Advent of the Wyrms

Paper Pinball - Ski ‘93

Super Dice Heroes

99 (traditional card game)

Out of those games, the most interesting one I learned was Advent of the Wyrms, a Decktet solitaire game. And that was still pretty light. But worth playing again.

Ski ‘93 had the biggest impact, though, since it made me take a deep dive into the Paper Pinball system. Each individual game isn’t much but taken as a collective, the system becomes a lot more fun.

Super Dice Heroes checked the box for learning a new Roll and Writes game. Honestly, it was one of the most basic R&W I’ve seen in a long time but I want to look into its sequel in June.

And I learned 99 on BGA just to learn a game. And that’s about all that amounted to. 

Some months are not gaming heavy months. 

My May PnP

May ended up being a month with more PnP crafting than I had expected. A lot of them were small projects, laminating Roll and Writes pages. Still, it added up.

Paper Pinball - Laser Sisters (vol 1&2.5) 

Paper Pinball - Goblin Circus (vol 1&2)

Paper Pinball - Championship Boogerball

Paper Pinball - Sorcery School Sleuths

Mysticana - The Queen’s Interests

Flipword 

My big project was making a copy of the Decktet since I wanted to mess around with that game system and I’m not sure where any of the other copies I’ve made are. I found a low ink variation, which isn’t as much fun as the proper Decktet but used a lot less toner.

I also did a lot of house cleaning, laminating Roll and Writes sheets that I’d printed out at some point or another and told myself I’d get around to laminating. I also swear that I make fresh copies of Devil Bunny Needs a Ham and Escape of the Dead every few years.

My decision to make the Ski ‘93 board for Paper Pinball ended up having me kicking off making copies of almost all the Paper Pinball boards I’d played before. (A couple survived the last move) Paper Pinball had been a guilty pleasure for a while but each individual board isn’t able to support binge play. But it occurred to me that a stack of them would. I guess twelve boards was the critical mass.

I did not expect to make more than a couple projects in May. And I have no idea what June will bring.
