Fantasy Flight's Twilight Imperium, and its expansions Borderlands, Twilight Armada, and The Outer Rim is by far the most successful space conquest game we stock.

Battlemist is a fantasy board game where each player controls a race seeking to control the land of Mennarra. Like Twilight Imperium, it uses movable hex tiles for the board.... The first expansion for Battlemist, The Sails of War introduces a new game board and a multitude of new game options. Mag9Blast is a fast paced multiplayer card game of "screaming space battles". Coming soon: Thunders Edge, a game of tactical and strategic warfare for political power and deep space shipping lanes.... Demon Canyon is an expansion for Thunder's Edge.

JDQuest's DragonEpic is a medieval/fantasy world conquest game for 2 to 4 players, ages 8 up, taking 2 to 5 hours to play. While leading armies to new battles, you gain power by completing quests. The 26 by 30 inch cloth game board is neat but a bit drab. The 344 stand-up playing pieces and 243 cards are well done in the overly-muscled-drooler style. 5 dice, 4 Army Boards and a rulebook complete the package. It's too soon to have a lot of customer comments yet, but the few we have received have been good.

I visited your site start July and a few others and fell behind in sharing my reviews, so this is kind of a package approach. You are interested in many of the same kinds of things as I am - SF, Gaming, Personal Computers, other topics, and their Cons - and you have done an excellent job of organizing stuff and packaging it in an eye-appealing manner - I will reccommend that many of my friends in some of these areas visit your site.

You might want to consider links to, or requesting that they have links to you, vs.http://empire.watervalley.net/webx?15@@ = Storm Web - on-line discussion threads for Science Fiction, Current Events and other forums

http://www.vcn.bc.ca/sig/rsn/ = Canadian SF Fandom and Con running

http://www.mntvernon.net/laura/ = National Science Fiction and Fantasy Fandom site, being rebuilt due to problems at the former ISP - if you are not an N3F member, it probably will not link to you

http://www.islandnet.com/~citizenx/sgshome.html = SGS = Strategy Gaming Society - which does link to some non-member sites

You might also trace links from some of these places to others worth linking to directly, with webmeister approval of course
