September was a fairly lean month for gaming, especially new to me games. I’ve already talked about my September gaming in general, so how about the monthly chat about “new to me” games? I’m actually quite proud of the fact that this is my… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2023”

Talk about taking it right to the end! We weren’t able to play our game until the last week of September, and then the VASSAL server went down and we didn’t finish the game until Friday, September 29th.

Welcome back for another week! I’ve been keeping the seat warm for you, since it’s starting to get a little colder out. Yes, I’ve added heaters!
