I have never played a complete game of Empires in Arms. I have a friend who has played it multiple times and yes it was generally set up in a spare room or garage. I think more than one game was ended early on account of cat.
Regarding Last Night on Earth, I'm glad there's at least on other person here who appreciates the game as much as I do. I had a chance to go to GenCon last year and I spent a lot of time at the Flying Frog booth playing demos of various games. They have the people who are characters in the game there either running demos are just walking around chatting about the games or what not. They all seem very very nice. During a lull a couple of the actors sat down to play Fortune and Glory. They could've been doing it just to try to interest passersby but I like to think it's because they like to play.

This is an absolutely amazing and hilarious review of Chess.

That chess review had me rolling on the floor.
I want to take a second to shill for a game I backed on KS that's coming out next month. Serpent's Tongue which is a CCG RPG with active spell casting and a fully functional conlang.
Here's a couple rounds of a PVE encounter of the game with an "AI" opponent.

This game's brilliant, I love the way it's battling works taking out the "monsters" from a traditional TCG, instead making you, the player, an active participant in a magic duel. They're also working on an RPG supplement for the game where the card combat will take the place of the traditional dice rolling.
Here's a couple rounds of early Alpha PVP, the game's changed a lot since a year ago.

Game play aside I'm a big fan of the world that the Sons of Gabriel (the primary team on the game is five brothers) have painted around this game, lots of secret cults, traditions of magic and fantasy hiding just behind the curtain of the normal world, lots of mysticism, intrigue, monsters, black mages. It's really enjoyable and intriguing. The website has more information www.becomemagi.com
edit: here's the original KS vid, again, things have changed a lot, the card size, thickness, art style, the language, some of the rules have all changed. This does have a decent backing to the lore though.

Game and Watch Forever:
So I finally took the plunge into the world of HeroClix... cause you know, the money I'm saving by not buying Magic cards anymore has to be pumped into something just as useless.
Anyone else here play or know anyone that plays? I'd be interested in advice on how to get a decent starting collection going. It'll be mostly me and the boyfriend playing each other with different forces and occasionally getting other friends involved, but it'll probably be from just my pool of figures. Unless I manage to convert other people. :)
