When baby seals grow up!
I looked deep in to big black mirrored round eyes, as I fish around for a suitable club. What I saw was myself! I was a baby seal once. I was taken back about 20 years ago, I was 14 and just started going down to a new game store in North Platte, my first table top game was Epic 40,000 I had bought the starter box, and had been played a few games, next was fantasy and 40k 2ed. only being a teen and no real job and minimal allowance, I was not able to field very good armies. I had a dwarf Which contain minimum troops and elites bare bone army, and same with my IG/squat army.
Most of the other player at the store were just out of college and had started careers so they were able to fund grand armies in comparison. armies they often chose we're "competitive" armies or as I like to call them DB armies. They were fast and brutally powerful, and they did not hold back. Out came the clubs. It was hard to play them, and In time I was turned away form table top gaming. I had not won a single game. The closes had come was ties or close losses when I played against certain armies. Every beating I took, beat the fun right out of me for the longest time. As I slowed my games down the other games would play themselves and would often end I. Disagreements and vows never to play so and so again and slowly the table top games went dormant. Though I had never gotten rid of my stuff and had put gaming on the back burner and even stopped as I went to college
And did the party thing and the getting a girl thing. It was baby seals that brought it back for me, now that I'm older and more mature, and able to afford better armies and can get all the help I ever wanted from such a great community on line has given me a second chance at a wonderful hobby. I am finding too that the old dogs are staring to play again and I have to smile when they are put in their place by grown seals.
But I'll never forget how it was back in the day! So I invite anyone who wants to play a game to remember it suppose to be fun for both players, and if you have a competitive list then find someone who is willing to play it just don't go clubbing baby seals you might get clubbed back!
