I can do no other.

I am really tempted to buy a copy of Here I Stand, a three-to-seven-hour wargame about the Protestant Reformation. I half want it because it sounds like what you'd encounter being played by grognard caricatures in a skit about far-gone wargamers, and half because it actually sounds pretty damn fascinating.

Would anyone who goes to gamey things that I also go to ever want to play? It sounds like it'd work fine at foos or UGs or what have ye. Because of the game's length and level of involvement, I'm not really interested in playing with total strangers. According to BGG it's best with 6 players, good with 3 players, and crap otherwise.

Update I just ordered a copy, god help me.

hrm...

Wonder how much it hews to a Great Man theory of that period of history...

Well, arguably it's a chronicle of the time when that argument stopped making sense. Who was Luther before he got his hands on a printing press?
