Grumble Jones 2020 - From Your Mama's Basement Pack IV

 

2020 is fast moving towards it final days...and none too soon. It has been a year of singular pain and suffering. It has devastated untold lives across the globe and scarred the rest of us with mental and emotional anguish. There will be a kind of PTSD associated with 2020. If and when we emerge from it dark clutches and once again walk among our friends and neighbors...we will involuntarily flinch at a colleague's cough or sneeze...wary that another pandemic is gathering to assail us. My posts this year have been colored by the events of 2020. I look forward to blogging without mention of the year's ongoing miseries. But, as I have mentioned many times...2020 has been a good year for ASL. While face-to-face games and most in person tournaments went away, those of us on VASL or playing over SKYPE never had it so good. Thus far this year, I have played 88 games of ASL Cardboard via SKYPE. That is for me an unbelievable amount of ASL. Honestly, don't expect to play that many games again in a single year. And don't tell anyone...but I'm ok with that. I have discovered that yes...yes you can play too much ASL.

As for scenarios...well...2020 was an interesting year for the ol' Grumble Jones basement press. I enjoyed putting them together and the Halloween "Where the Half-squads Dare" scenario was one of my favorite projects of the year. It didn't really turn out all that great, but the collaborations with Dan Best, Rick Reinesch, Hong Kong Wargamer, Zoltan Grose and the 2 Half-Squads was tremendously fun. I won't be quite as ambitious next year...so yeah...expect Nazi Zombies in 2021!!! It should also be GJ100...which is a milestone I look forward to hitting.

Not much more to say. As always, I thank you for spending your valuable time at Grumble Jones.
