Hello there. Nice to see you again. Welcome back to the Monday Blog.<\/p>\n
There’s no deeper meaning to this week’s blog title other than I had no idea what to use as a title and it’s the generic text that WordPress writes in the title box.<\/p>\n
I started drawing a new mash-up theme this week. Rebels was cool to draw but it’s always nice to start something new. In theory, you’ll be able to see the new theme on June 10th.<\/p>\n
I’ll be drawing Funnies strip #400 this week. That really blows me away, especially considering that almost half of that has been the telling of one story that’s still in progress! I used to worry that I would run out of story ideas, but I figure that so long as I’m able and motivated, I’ll always think of something to draw.<\/p>\n
I wrote some new material for Bandit Baby last week. The first time I got on a roll and wrote 19 strips’ worth of material. This time I got stuck after four. I’d like for the story to go at least 52 strips. At 24, I’m almost halfway there.<\/p>\n
I tried King of Tokyo on Friday. I’m going to reserve judgement until I can try the game with more players. With only two players I don’t feel there’s enough back and forth to really force a player out of Tokyo and so the person who occupies Tokyo first will most likely win unless the opponent forgoes trying to score points and makes a concerted effort to drive him out or gets REALLY lucky with their dice rolling. I love the feel of the game though so I look forward to playing again.<\/p>\n
I also tried Ticket to Ride: The Card Game. Again, I feel it would probably be more interesting with more than two players, but it plays better at two than King of Tokyo. I don’t know that I like it better than traditional Ticket to Ride. I think it just boils down to what mood you’re in. The card game plays quicker and without any preparation or clean-up. Just shuffle the decks and go. The board game is less abstract. You get to see your train routes developing.<\/p>\n
Next on my list of games to try: Dungeon Roll and Tokaido. I’ll keep you posted on how they turn out when I get to them.<\/p>\n
That’s all for this week. Have a good seven and we’ll do this all again next Monday! Carja V.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
