Dragonflight was my first convention ever, back in 2015 (I think). It’s held at the same hotel in Bellevue, Washington, as OrcaCon is held (though the hotel rooms are a lot more expensive, being in the Summer instead of January like OrcaCon). Thus, it… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 2023 Retrospective”

(Edit: 8/3023) – The video is live!!! (The exclamation mark is in the scenario title, not meaning that I’m very excited about this scenario…though actually it is quite good!) Two After Action Reports in quick succession, which can happen when one is really late… Continue Reading “Combat Commander After Action Report – Scenario #33 – We Go!”

Hey there! It’s another Friday, and it’s time to belly up to the bar, have a drink (whatever you like), and chat a little bit about board games. Don’t mind the music. I’ll turn it down. Steely Dan is so good that it can… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Tiebreakers”

July was yet another weird month for games, as I explained in last week’s “games played” post (sorry this one took so long after that). Even with that, I was able to get six new to me games to the table. Granted, three were… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2023”

(Edit: 10/5/23) – Finally, the last design diary! I think. Nope, there are 1-2 more coming. Paul Dennen reveals how Contracts work and it looks like a major boost to the beginning of the game, at least in trying to get money. You can… Continue Reading “Dire Wolf Digital Going App Crazy With Announcements”
