About Me

No Fixed Abode, Home Counties, United Kingdom
I’m a 60-year-old Aspergic gardening CAD-Monkey. Sardonic, cynical and with the political leanings of a social reformer, I’m also a toy and model figure collector, particularly interested in the history of plastics and plastic toys. Other interests are history, current affairs, modern art, and architecture, gardening and natural history. I love plain chocolate, fireworks and trees, but I don’t hug them, I do hug kittens. I hate ignorance, when it can be avoided, so I hate the 'educational' establishment and pity the millions they’ve failed with teaching-to-test and rote 'learning' and I hate the short-sighted stupidity of the entire ruling/industrial elite, with their planet destroying fascism and added “buy-one-get-one-free”. Likewise, I also have no time for fools and little time for the false crap we're all supposed to pretend we haven't noticed, or the games we're supposed to play. I will 'bite the hand that feeds', to remind it why it feeds.

E is for Emergence Event

One of those many, many board-games, aimed at the adult members of sites like Boardgamegeek, I saw it going cheap, as many of these games do end-up, once the hype has settled, back in 2021, shot it, shoved the pictures in Picasa and forgot all about it!
 
I'll almost certainly never play it, and don't know anything about it, and in the grand scheme of things, it represents the straight-to-landfill waste of human endeavour, ingenuity and resources, which is one of many facets of the end of humanity event, we're currently living in! So . . . not much blurb! But it does have nice micro-spaceships, in plastic! Megacon Games - Emergence Event.
 
 Box art, half Jean Giraud (Moebius), half Frank Frazetta.
 
Half blokade-runner, far-far-away;
half Weyland-Yutani mining vessel, silently screaming.
 
Firefly 'Reaver' vessel,
or Harlock cruiser?
 
Babylon 5!
 
Romulan Warbird / Klingon Bird of Pray
 
Box full of bits!
 
By the time you've learnt the rules, you're bored with the game, and you've painted-up the playing pieces to go with your micro spacefleet stuff! Box ticked!
