Roll for the Galaxy App in Beta Soon

(Edit 6/10/20: And it’s out in Beta! I’m enjoying it. See my thoughts here) Wasn’t going to do a post today, but then received some great and urgent news in my mailbox from Temple Gates Games. Yes, that’s right. Roll for the Galaxy, the… Continue Reading “Roll for the Galaxy App in Beta Soon”

New to Me – November 2019

It’s December! The last month of the year, the Christmas (or whatever end-of-year holiday you celebrate) season is upon us, but before we look forward to all of those presents sitting under the tree (or sitting under whatever your end-of-year holiday object is), it’s… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2019”

Ancient Civilizations of the Middle East from GMT Games

Since I’m in full-blooded GMT Fanboy Mode (can I trademark that?

Review – War of the Worlds: The New Wave

I’m probably one of the few people who remembers the “new” War of the Worlds TV series that came out in the 1980s. It was a “sequel” series to the 1950’s movie. It was campy, but I really did enjoy it. The aliens had… Continue Reading “Review – War of the Worlds: The New Wave”

FFG Announces Fallout Shelter: the Board Game

I’ve been a big fan of the Fallout video game series since Fallout 3 all those many years ago (I missed the buzz when the first two came out). I love the series so much that I was really happy to hear about the… Continue Reading “FFG Announces Fallout Shelter: the Board Game”

Digital Charterstone – Story Trailer Released

I’m not big on the concept of legacy games. I just don’t play a game enough times in a row to actually sit down with the same group of players and work our way through it. Want to get me to try a legacy… Continue Reading “Digital Charterstone – Story Trailer Released”
