February 2026 Gaming
I thought February was going to be a big month for games, with two days of a convention at the end of the month of on top of our normal gaming. Sadly, me getting sick for over a week eliminated one Sunday along with… Continue Reading “February 2026 Gaming”
Friday Night Shots – Updates
It’s been a while since a Friday Night Shots post, but I’m also going to do away with the ongoing “welcome to the bar” jokes for it. However, I am actually at a place with a bar, and I may be actually drinking a… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Updates”
January 2026 Gaming
Hard to believe that we’re already a month into 2026! My, how time flies. I wasn’t sure what to expect from January, especially because we had some really small Sundays and long games played. Which is good! But also means that not a lot… Continue Reading “January 2026 Gaming”
Bye Bye Dice Tower
It’s been a wild week, both in the world and in the boardgaming sphere. I don’t really comment too much on here about social issues, politics, etc, because this is kind of my safe space for getting away from all of that. However, I… Continue Reading “Bye Bye Dice Tower”

October 2025 Gaming
Who knew that after my 1000th post celebration, the next one would just be a regular “hey, what did Dave play last month?” post? In other words, we’re back to normal. The cake has been eaten, the ado has been stored so nobody can… Continue Reading “October 2025 Gaming”
1000 Posts and Counting
This blog started back in March 2017 and has been a going concern (sometimes very concerned!) for over 8 years now. As my mental health has changed and my motivation has lagged sometimes, the post count has gone up and down, but I’ve consistently… Continue Reading “1000 Posts and Counting”
Why Do We Play Games?
I enjoyed board and war games as a kid, though I obviously didn’t think a lot about them. There was, of course, Monopoly and Candyland and all of that childhood trash that we look back on and say “did we really play that?” As… Continue Reading “Why Do We Play Games?”
