Set up a lot of the PBF framework for BSG, Runewars, Small World, The Devil's Castle. PBF in Gears of War, Death Angel, A Game of Thrones. Currently playing Twilight Struggle, Middle-Earth Quest and Eclipse on Vassal.

I'm anal about using the right terms to describe games and have posted an alternative glossary to the inconsistent sprawl in BGG's database and lexicon that is clear, accurate and simple. I care big time about my reviews, ratings and comments.

Make your kids the Free Peoples player and show them that reality is a bitch, son!

Best gaming table I have ever owned. One heavy S.O.B. though.

What method did you use to 'blow up' your map?

I cringed when I saw the tape on the map. You need some plexiglas!

If that is the "living room" in your house Matt you are a stud. Map of Middle Earth mounted on the wall: check; Box of TSR history comfortably placed on the floor: got it; cabinet display of fantasy minis: word up; two computers ready to rock a Starcraft LAN party: no doubt; War of the Ring spread able to swallow your children: let's roll!

That's a great photo. Thanks for sharing.

Is that a tiny trebuchet on the shelf back there?

Great photo. And yes, how did you blow your map up? I got a 12 foot table and plenty of room for a bigger map so all those units around Minas Tirith don't get so bunched up......

Does it fold/come-apart for storage? If so, how easy is it?

Actually my buddy blew up the map. He scans each section, blows it up with photo shop, prints each section, tapes it all together and then laminates.Answers to other questions: Yes to TSR Conan module and Yes to a fully functional wooden trebuchet. The table legs fold up so the storage is pretty easy. I also agree that I need to get the figures painted. Thanks for the questions and comments.
