New to Me – October 2019

October was SHUX month. SHUX is a 3-day boardgame convention in Vancouver that was simply phenomenal. I had so much fun, and would have had even more fun if I hadn’t felt so terrible. Maybe next year! You know what conventions mean, right? No,… Continue Reading “New to Me – October 2019”

App Expansion Review – Talisman Origins – Beyond the Veil

Talisman and Talisman: Origins are two of the really great digital board game adaptions.

Podcast Episode 1 – At SHUX19 with Paula Deming!

Yes, that’s right. I’ve started a podcast! Well, kind of.

New to Me – September 2019

It had been a quiet September at Dude Central. There was a birthday party that nobody came to (it’s not my fault I accidentally put September 9, 2018 on the invitations. How was I supposed to know that everybody would actually look at the… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2019”

Review – Welcome to Centerville

If I were ever voted to city council or the urban planning commission for Vancouver, you know what I would hope to see? All of the people in the meeting rolling dice and making decisions based on that. I think that would be hilarious… Continue Reading “Review – Welcome to Centerville”

It’s my birthday! Yes, I’m turning the big 49 today, and in celebration, I’m going to tell you the 49 games I’m really anticipating over the next few months. Ok, no. I’m not that much of a masochist. Instead, the number 4 is part… Continue Reading “Birthday Post – 4 Games I’m Looking Forward To”
