The Saga Begins...

So as I mentioned in my previous blog entry, I am looking for a new Star Trek CCG deck idea. I think I have found that idea, but I need to find a dilemma pile that is not dependent on events. Normally this is not a major issue for players, but all I have done is try to show how a dilemma pile works better with events than without. I have gone all the way to the dark side to prove that dilemmas with events are so much better than without, that I have forgotten the art of playing a dilemma pile without events. So now I sit and ponder, "I can regain this lost skill?"

So the saga begins with me searching for the right combination of cards that will allow me to stall my opponent long enough for me to bust past their dilemmas. I am discovering dilemmas that I have not played with in years, ever since Premiere and Energize were released. But what promote this blog entry is not just my search for a new dilemma pile...

I am re-devoting myself to my diet, sort of... Convention season is just too impossible of a time to start any sort of regular eating/sleeping/working/playing/anything-ing schedule. So I will try to focus on eating right, again, for the next 3 weeks before Gen-Con. Then afterwards, I will have no excuses, I must find a gym and eat right. This is my "Spring Training" time, and then the start of the season is August 22. In addition to my diet, I am starting to watch Enterpise Season 1. I have to admit that episode 1 was one of the best pilots of any of the series to date. However episode 2 and 3 are the worst follow up episodes in Star Trek (possibly TV) history to date. So I am trudging through hoping to find a redeeming value in this lost franchise. Eventually I will purchase the Original Series (the FIRST Star Trek) and hopefully evaluate it on its own merits as well. But for right now, I have many beginnings and hopefully many good things to come.
