Exploring the Underworld – Faraway: People From Below review
Some expansions for games make huge changes to it, maybe fixing something from the base game or giving new avenues to win the game. Maybe the Mask strategy is really weak and this expansion makes it stronger? Some expansions just add a bit more… Continue Reading “Exploring the Underworld – Faraway: People From Below review”
Friday Night Shots – A Quick & Dirty Top 50
Welcome back to the bar! Last month, I mentioned how this is almost becoming a monthly thing instead of a weekly thing. That was…one month ago. I guess it is! Welcome to the finest bar in the city, because it’s so clean. It certainly… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – A Quick & Dirty Top 50”
New to Me – March 2025 – Part 1
As I mentioned in my March Games played post, I played a lot of games last month. Not only that, but a whole 14 of them were new to me! That means this post would be monstrously long if I tried to pack it… Continue Reading “New to Me – March 2025 – Part 1”
March 2025 Gaming

Or are the combinations… Continue Reading “Wanna Join the Circus? – Scout Review”
Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025
Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet. In previous years, the people running it didn’t do the… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025”
Lacrimosa – Storage Solution from Folded Space
It’s been a while since I’ve put together a Folded Space insert (some of the best game inserts out there right now), but when I bought Lacrimosa direct from Devir Games when it went on their Black Friday sale for a steal, I knew… Continue Reading “Lacrimosa – Storage Solution from Folded Space”

Sometimes you go on a journey and at the beginning you can’t even contemplate how far you will have travelled by the time you get to the end of it. Especially when the journey seems to be a never-ending, yet incredibly fulfilling, one. Today… Continue Reading “Dude Take Your Turn – 8 Years and Counting”
Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 86 – Keep Calm and Carry On
Never has a scenario title been so apt! As you shall see. The subtitle for this post is The Ballad of Sergeant Hawes. Welcome to another tale from the Combat Commander ladder, that monthly tournament of one of the greatest games out there. Administered… Continue Reading “Combat Commander – After Action Report – Scenario 86 – Keep Calm and Carry On”
