Sorry if I waste your time with this non sw-eote post, but this is the forum where I'm posting and wanted to share my joy. There is an Age of Rebellion beta in there... so it "could" be related.

Christmas came early.

I went on a BIG ordering spree and got a bunch of stuff that I've been wanting to get, but being in South Africa, makes it incredibly hard to get locally. So, one has to order from overseas, pay not a small amount in shipping and then get hit with import duties. But gosh darn it.... I've been patient. (And in the end it actually works out cheaper ordering for oneself.)

I had to order from multiple shops to get everything I wanted, and some stuff (x-wing expansions) I'm still waiting for, but here's the pile. It took me the whole day to unbox, pack away neatly and read the rules. Was an epic day!

I've made my own star field surface for x-wing. Looking forward to my first game!

Congrats and enjoy.

They have a game of Dragon Age, which includes Sam Witwer who does the voice for Darth Maul on the Clone Troopers and Seth Green playing X-Wing.

As for that little mountain of goodness, all of the games shown are great - you have good taste sir!! :-)

I see sleeves there, are you planning on sleeving all the cards in BSG? Good luck getting the combined crisis decks to actually stand in one pile then

Always with the negative vibes Morridini....

Sleeves may be for Netrunner. Almost everyone I know sleeves their decks.

Well I didn't order enough sleeves. Noob math problem. So, right now the x-wing pilot cards are getting sleeved, while I wait for the back up order of 800 sleeves for netrunner and star wars LCGs.

It does make them mighty slippery!

Hehe, I just speak from experience. Every time we play BSG with all expansions I regret ever having sleeved those cards (the skill cards are fine, but why oh why did I do that to the crisis?), and now since I have all cards sleeved I am forced to also sleeve Daybreak.

Anyways, nice haul torque!

Way cool. Just got the card game myself, and loving it! But I am jealous of your X-Wing collection

Very nice purchase. There are forums for Netrunner, BSG and Age of Rebellion Beta, so, not really related to this forum.

Lots of great stuff there. I love BSG and Netrunner.

Enjoy!

X-Wing is a lot of fun and the price point isn't bad at all even if all you want to do is sit the ships on a shelf!

Very nice, play in good company:)

what'd you do to make the starfield?

Sweet man!Thats a big pile of stuff as well.

what'd you do to make the starfield?

Looks like one of the generic 3rd party mats that I've seen.

Nope I made it. Glad you like it.

Bought a 4' x 3' hard board, which I then trimmed to fit my table.

Bought a bunch of spray can colours (matte black x3, white, azure blue, electric blue, fireman red, daisy yellow).

Watched a couple of youtube vids on spray painting space scenes.

Looked at some NASA photography

Which boils down to:

1) spray lots of red and blue

2) hit small pockets of yellow

3) cover it all with black (you won't be able to cover all of it, so blues and reds will shine through)

4) use white to make milky ways (use torn cardboard to mask the spray so as to create hanging "curtain" clouds)

5) spray stars (buy lodging a small piece of prestik or blue tac (sticky stuff that holds up posters on walls, don't know what you yanks call it )) into the nozzle itself. this prevents you from pushing down too far, which limits the airflow and produces a fine spray of "dots" which work perfectly as stars.

6) cover half of it up with blue, red and black (to knock it back some) (layers are your friend, keep adding as many as you like until you're satisfied with the overall composition). the more layers the deeper your space.

7) add more stars. try for a mix of BIG ones and small ones. This too adds depth.

8) add detritus (black "stars"... looks like asteroids or space junk far in the distance)
