I’ve really missed it (as can be guessed from… Continue Reading “Upcoming Conventions – SHUX, Bottoscon & OrcaCon”
Some GMT P500 Games That Need Some Love
I guess we can just say that this week is GMT Games Week at Dude Take Your Turn. I promise to get back to “normal” stuff next week. In doing my GMT Update on Wednesday, I noticed that there are still some games that… Continue Reading “Some GMT P500 Games That Need Some Love”
Online Communities and People Passing
Today was a rough day for me, even though I’m on vacation and it’s been a wonderful couple of weeks (and still a couple of weeks left before going back to the Pit of Fun). As you know, I’m a member of the Combat… Continue Reading “Online Communities and People Passing”

Vancouver Symphony Orchestra – Online & Available
(Edit: they’ve released more of their schedule! See it (and probably the same page when there are more updates) here!) Last year, we decided that we wanted to get a little more culture in our lives. We had heard good things about the Vancouver… Continue Reading “Vancouver Symphony Orchestra – Online & Available”
Dice Tower West – Positives & Negatives
(Edit 9/24/21) – Apparently they have changed hotels for the 2022 Dice Tower West convention, so almost all the negatives mentioned below may be gone! I’m not familiar with the Rio, so can’t comment on it. Check out the Dice Tower West web site… Continue Reading “Dice Tower West – Positives & Negatives”
