Hello friendly readers of the blog. I don’t have a lot to talk about this week, so let’s just get into it.
As I wrote in last week’s blog, I started working on a map for my D&D world. Slowly I’m getting more and more ideas of events that have shaped my world. Shaping the map hasn’t been as smooth as I’d like.
Campaign Cartographer works with layers. This is something I’m familiar with since I draw with layers all the time. Switching between the layers in CC isn’t as intuitive as I’m used to. Several times I thought I’d switched to the appropriate layer and started adding things only to learn it was adding things to a different (wrong) layer and I’d progressed too far to undo everything (I can only undo a certain number of actions). I’ve had to start over several times. I’m trying to be extra careful.
I picked up the expansion for Dice Town over the weekend. I was surprised to find it since the store I was at didn’t have the base game. Oh well, advantage me! I’ll talk more on that when I get a chance to play.
The new Skylanders game came with a significant price increase. A basic figure went from $10.99 in Trap Team to $16.99 in Super Chargers. If my math is correct, that’s a 35% price increase which is just insane. Lego Dimensions is still pricier overall but has the added advantage of being Lego. It’s a shame because I’ve loved the Skylanders franchise so far. The price increase is coming at a time when I’m trying to restrict my spending. I’ll be waiting for some serious discounts to buy in if at all.
That’s it for this week. As always, I hope that you all have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday. Carja V.
