Hi Karl,
I am open for SOBH or Space Weirdos. A suggestion, both Charlie and James mentioned an interest in Space Weirdos. If they want to play each other in that game I could play SOBH with you. If you want to play Space Weirdos I am good with that too. Also depending on which game you like let me know what point’s level you would like.

If Charlie and James both want Space Weirdos then let's play that also. I'll bring out the Vault/Subway terrain and make two setups.

Charlie and James, let me know if that works for you. If you guys don't both prefer Weirdos, Michael and I would be happy to split up to play you guys in your preferred game.

As for game size. 125 is the recommended for Space Weirdos and I think that worked well last time.

300 is the recommended start for Song of Blades. 400 is my preferred.

Of the two, I'm probably better prepared for Space Weirdos, so I'm good with that. :-)

Hello all! Newb here and was told to check here for gaming days. I love the Weirdo games so I would love to play Space Weirdos. I can also bring minis and terrain if needed for other peeps

deniedenvirons,
That's Excellent,
I'll put you down for Weirdos. I'll PM you in a minute to exchange info.


If James is up for Weirdos he and Charlie can pair up and I'll run a third spoiler force in a game with Denie and Michael.

If James prefers SBH, I'll play with him and put the three of you together.


If we don't hear from him by tomorrow we'll just push forward with Weirdos regardless.

All right.
We're going ahead with 2 games of Space Weirdos.

125 points.

Unless folks request something else I'll have two underground layouts ready. Subway station and vault.

See you all tomorrow.

Making my 125 pt Space Weirdos force now. Sorry for not getting back with you guys in time. Couldn't find a PDF for SOBH.

No worries James,
Space Weirdos is good for tonight. Looking forward to seeing you.


As for SBH, it is cheap and you can find it on Wargames Vault or at Ganeshagames. We use the standard "Revised" version:
https://www.ganeshagames.net/product_in ... ev8r422b7c

All the supplements are great, but you only really need the core book to get started.

The author Andrea is also a cool guy and was very encouraging to our club in the early days. I think a few of us might even have playtesting credits in some of his work. We did some playtesting for the unreleased "Apocalypticum" ruleset that was going to be a cooperative post-apoc project between Ganesha and the now-defunct Lead Adventure miniatures. Nothing came of it, but it was fun for a bit.

Well, crud. I'm not going to be able to make it tonight, after all. :-(

The cold I thought I was fighting off last week has turned into ... something else. Much as I love sharing with all of you, it's probably a little rude to share this.

Have fun spacing the weirdos!
