A Review of Student Bodies from Smirk and Dagger

Board Game Reviews, Featured, Smirk and Dagger Games Comments Off

Jun 262015

Student Bodies is a cut throat zombie game designed by Michael Grenier and Matthew Regney. Published by Smirk and Dagger Games, it’s recommended for two to five players ages ten and up. I would say that the cut throat style of play in this game leads to a slap in the face kind of motif.

In Student Bodies you and your peers are faced with the dilemma of escaping the highschool during a zombie apocalypse. The problem is that there are so many zombies you first need to get to the chem lab and create an antidote or in game terms find it. Then you have to make a dash across the campus to escape out the front door after dodging a shambling mound of zombies without getting bitten. Don’t worry too much about being bit, if you’re turned into a smart zombie and can still win by eating other players, which I find to be a rather fun and redeeming factor when there are more than two players.

If you haven’t read the first two installments of this article you might want to start there.

I have gone ahead and converted a Ellyrian Reaver into a Centigor. Since, I am not very artsy I am quite happy with the result. I even think it is a better representation of the what I believe a Centigor should look like than the actual models. Below I will give you the step by step instructions that I used followed by a gallery of photos.

Bits on eBay

I know, I intended this to be place to to vent about the ridiculous things eBay does to sellers.

like raise the fee schedule and make sound like a benefit.
like DSR’s – what a scam.
and the new improved multi-feedback is so good I don’t use it

But I am not here this time to rant about it, I have hours of audio with customer support though. I am actually here to tell you 40k players that we just listed a ton of bits. at http://stores.ebay.com/GameQuest-Online.

The raised money will be used to buy us some more equipment and Necrons for some BOX BREAKINGS (unboxings).

So if you like what you have seen so far and you need a power fist or a melta head on over to eBay and support us little bit.

Thank you for your support.

Leaving Feedback for eBay Buyers

Gaming News Comments Off

This is why you do not leave fee back for your buyers on eBay.

You can’t leave negative feedback
You can only leave feedback for one transaction
They can leave you negative feedback for every item even though they might be on the same transaction. My answer to this is I no longer combine invoices.
DSR’s are discriminatory against buyers that do not have a high volume of sales.
It is too easy for the buyer to falsely represent an accurate expectation of the dsr’s ( I have received DSR scores of 1 across the board within 15 minutes of some purchases)

So, until eBay fixes their feedback system a seller should never leave feedback for a buyer. After all, if we don’t go there to sell no one will be able to buy.

That is my eBay vent for the week. It has been coming for a long time. I just can’t wait to see the day when I no longer need to sell on eBay.
