Assault on Doomrock - played solo again in light of the ongoing Kickstarter and realized that while I really like the idea of the game and especially the system, the result for me is a highly irritating and annoying game due to the extreme influence of chance and the extremely demotivating implementation of the monsters. Too bad, but a game that rather motivates me to flip the table is rather stupid. So I canceled the Kickstarter and the game probably won't hit the table anymore, especially since there's also the long setup (sorting tokens) and the long playtime.

Pathfinder Adventure Card Game: Rise of the Runelords – Base Set. Lem, Lini, and Harsk set off for Sandpoint and stumbled upon a goblin fortress on the way. Topatch Lem also got tangled up and summoned a Sandspitter Devil in the process, but in the end, they managed to make it through at the last minute. Harsk even found a better crossbow and a second set of armor to change into (you never know when you might encounter a Sandspitter Devil). I'm still amazed by the game system, even though the first base set was a bit simple in structure. I think when the Pirate set comes out in June, I'll get it again and try to get Juliana involved. I just have to sell the pirates as Johnny Depp's crew...
