I am a lucky lady

Normally I would be posting my fun with Tyranids, but I would rather talk about the “Storm of Silence” tournament I went to over the weekend that just passed.  I specifically wanna speak on how really lucky I am, and how progressive and accepting the gamer community can be.

I am trans, as we all know, and its not exactly a well kept secret, as others can also tell I am trans as well.  Despite all of this, the gamer community in my area really cannot be buggered about it.  This is especially wonderful in the area I am in as all the gamers accept me as just another girl, and another gamer.

I’m cool? Since when?

So, I try not to talk too much about my day job when I’m writing stuff that will permanently stay online, but I’ll make an exception for this little anecdote. I work with kids on a daily basis, and last week one of them came up to me and told me I was cool.

Um, what?

I asked what he meant, and he said, “Oh, you know, you like World of Warcraft and stuff. You’re just really cool like one of those guys on The Big Bang Theory.”

100_2354 - Copy I don’t know about anyone else, but I really love to accessorize in my geekery. Especially when I go to a tournament. Not sure why exactly, but I’ll dress to match my army. Teal and White when I play my Eldar, usually something flowy; Purple and silver when I play Sisters, and with some combat boots of course; Purples and blues for my Tyranids were pretty easy, since that’s what I wear most days; and my Chaos Marines are the most fun, since I get to dress like a rock star! Last time, I believe it was my pink schoolgirl skirt, fishnets and my chaos collar, which I made for next to nothing! Continue Reading

Fun With Tyranids: Firey Pyerey

So the tau codex has come out, which is kind of neat, looks like a lot of really cool stuff for them so far.  But that is neither here nor there now is it, this is Fun with Tyranids not Time with Tau.  SO LET US BEGIN.

 

Fun With Tyranids: Firey Pyerey

(Or better said, what can you do with a bloody pyrovore)

So it is pretty universally accepted that the pyrovore sucks giant donkey balls, like the really really big kind that fester and smell funny.  This is mainly thought because there are so many more useful and rock solid Elite choices in the Tyranid 5th edition codex.  I mean when you look at choices like Zoanthropes, or The Doom of Malan’tai, and of course the Hive Guard who go without saying, it really sucks by comparison.

40k and Heels… holla!

I noticed a few of the War Dolls posting their gaming history… so I figured I would add mine to the mix.

I’m not the typical gamer, which is usually clear from the fact that I will always wear heels to a 40k game. While I have always been a video gamer, I never really ventured into tabletop games further than Scrabble and Monopoly. I absolutely am the girlfriend that started playing tabletop games to be involved in my boyfriend’s hobbies – but my intentions of just being a good girlfriend developed into a genuine love for the games. Go figure. Continue Reading
