Its probably the best of the silly ferengi episodes, and Keevan is the perfect straight guy for all the silliness happening.

Some day's you get a game because you like the theme, others it's because you like the sound of the mechanics of the game.
And very rarely you pick up a game solely because the cover art looks exactly like a friend of yours and you have to show them the game. Smartphone inc

My local store is the classic small family business. It makes it feel like we live in a village and I love that vibe.

Dane Madgwick was one of the concept artists on Dune. He was also one of the artists on my game Shadow Moon syndicates.
That dune concept art team did some amazing work, they really did.

So sweet seeing my local book store do a promo for my book now that it has arrived in New Zealand!

So yeah, i feel a bit shitty getting rid of this stuff. But it was actively impeding me playing the game, and i'd rather chuck this crap away and play the game than have it rot on my shelf because every time i look at it i think "I can't be arsed"
Also, that white tray and tower, utterly useless.

My solution was to chuck it all into baggies i had lying around. Not fond of all the plastic being wasted here, and im using this as a lesson learned about big box collectors edition.
Every time, with 1 exception, having the collectors edition makes me play a game less due to setup times.

Finally got over my hangups about not chucking out stuff from a "collectors edition" and got rid of the awful trays in suburbia collectors edition. These terrible things actively get in the way of you setting up and playing the game.

I love it when folks send me pictures of my stuff in stores. I'm still not at the point where this isn't a fun novelty.
