Im sorry everyone, I did try to get back in the saddle but after returning from the Philippines my life has just not had room in it for continuing the show. I have not even had time to play any games or really be a part of the hobby so Im not the right person to be reporting on it even if I had time for the show.

I have let everyone who has hosted with me know of my decision and there have been some who are interested in helping to continue the show but none who have the time and resources to run it on thier own.

If anyone is interested in coordinating the show on a continuing basis let me know and I will put you in touch with those who were also interested. I hope that we can find a way for the show to continue but if not there is a wonderful variety of other shows that do a great job keeping the hobby community in touch with news and events in the hobby world.

Thanks again to everyone for all the kind words and support and even for the criticisms that helped me to improve the show over the last year.

Happy gaming everyone.

With the release of Space Hulk I am trying to get some time with the game to have a reasonable review for this weeks show.

This will be the last show before I leave for the Phillipines on vacation. The show will be on temporary hiatus until I return and we will resume regular schedule when I get back from overseas in three weeks.

OK guys but Star Trek just rocked the world and I had to see it a few times this weekend. Between that and Mothers day we had a bit of a delay, but y’all know me well enough by now to know that my planned release dates are a best guess at best.
