Games
In my last couple trades I've acquired Munchkin Cthulhu 1, 2 and 3 as well as Dungeon Lords, all of which I'm looking forward to trying out. I was recently able to observe a good chunk of a game of Munchkin at a friend's house and while the game looks pretty light, it also looks fun. I think my wife and daughters will be able to handle it just fine as well, so I'm having some high hopes for that one. Dungeon Lords has a really cool concept (imo) and I've been wanting a copy for a while now, so I'm excited to try it out. While I'm sure that my family will be able to handle the rules for this one, I'm not so sure that it'll be something they enjoy, but I guess we'll find out next chance we get to game.
In addition to that, I've really been itching to try out Mouse Guard since receiving it for Christmas and I think I've got a decent initial mission in mind for the family. Still, I think I'll reread a few of the major bits before we dive in as I really don't want to mess up our first game and put a sour spin on it. The wife is a bit weary of the RPG genre as it is, so I'm hoping that this particular game will make for a great entry point for both her and our girls.
Wish me luck! 
Nightfall Previews
With the release of Nightfall: The Coldest War right around the corner (I'm hearing sometime next month), AEG is starting to release previews of some of the new stuff you'll find in the set. They've already shown off one of the new starters, JAREK, and yesterday put up 4 new previews as well, 1 each of: action, minion, moon and wound.
The first two show off one of the set's new mechanics: combat text. As you might guess, it's used during the combat phase and no, it does not require any color matching to use. As for the moon phase card, there are others and they can be changed mid game, but that's as far as I'm revealing for now. The new wound is one of my favorites, to an extent. A couple of them in your deck can be a huge help mid-late game, but too many and you'll just be chaining wounds... Also note that an opponent holding one of these can't be locked out of adding on to your chains!
Life Changes
First up is my promotion, which officially begins Monday morning. Tonight was my last shift as my current position and the crew that I've worked with for the past 4 years has already said their "see ya around"'s.
For now I'm some weird mix of excited, anxious and nervous, as I'm finally getting into an IT related job, but I'm not entirely sure yet of what to expect (they haven't fully laid down my job responsibilities, etc).
And as one extra bit of awesomeness: I'm gonna be an uncle!
