The post title says it all really, Christmas has come early for da Gobbo! This weekend i've been on night shifts, which are always busy and always a real pain - this time literally as I'm currently suffering with some low back pain. So I wake up Saturday afternoon after grabbing a few hours sleep in between shifts and come downstairs to a lovely surprise - two brown boxes through the mail.
The first was an act of such generosity as to leave me quite humbled, those rather amazing gamers from across the Irish Sea at the Gamers Cupboard (if you love this hobby at all you need to check these guys out Here, the passion with which all of the contributors of this blog - Steve, Hils, Tarot and of course the undead King Bryan, exhibit toward gaming is palpable) sent me a copy of "All Things Zombie" the board game. Knowing that I play the ATZ miniatures game and love me some solo gaming as well as involving my family in Zed boardgaming, they sent me a copy! I haven't unboxed it properly as I'm still on nights at the time of writing this post (and still will be when I post it on Monday) That unboxing will likely form a post all of its own as will my first solo game. But to say i'm grateful is a massive understatement. Thank you Steve and Hils, you guys absolutely ROCK!!
The second box held some goodies that I had ordered for the Nerd Herd when we go to shows and soon to be going to tournaments. A little design work and finding the right image, which may be a bit familiar now and I came up with these T-shirts...
Each of us - Rich, Chris, Damon and myself have one, with our names and gaming nicknames printed on them to individualise them properly. I can't wait to get some use out it!!
I think they've come out really well! yes that's me styling it out with my self satisfied, it must be Christmas smile...
that's it for now, hope you enjoy
