Behold Dungeon Saga: The Dwarf King’s Quest by Mantic Games. It’s a fairly well-reviewed dungeon crawler board game in the vein of Fantasy Flight’s Descent. Like Descent, it comes with a bunch of plastic miniatures that you can paint, or not, as is your wont. I’ve owned the game for a while now, but I’ve never played it; much like Imperial Assault<\/a>, I wanted to paint all the miniatures before actually playing the game.<\/p>\n

Unlike my experience with Imperial Assault, I want to paint the game miniatures in less than two years and play it more than a few times.<\/p>\n

A couple of months back, in the midst of Forgotten Heroes<\/a>, Dick Garrison<\/a>, Blax the Kleric<\/a> and I donned our dark robes, intoned our mysterious chants, invoked names any sane person would never speak aloud, and made a solemn pact that we would all three try to paint as much of the game as possible during the month of September, or, as Mr. Garrison has aptly dubbed it: Saga’tember.<\/p>\n

Saga’tember is nigh! This coming month will be devoted to painting the Dungeon Saga game, with the ultimate goal (one I share with Dick Garrison), of having the whole thing complete by Christmas. That means I’d best get cracking, because I already have a project lined up for October, and I’m seriously considering hosting Dwarvember again this year. (No promises on that, we’ll have to see.)<\/p>\n

Did I mention I have some long-lost friends dropping by in September for some Super Mission Force and\/or possibly Gaslands? That’s right: I’m actually going to play a game or two with OTHER people for a change. Looking forward to it, but it means I have to do a little work for those games prior to their visit.<\/p>\n

Tonight: I prime!<\/p>\n
