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”

Happy Friday! I wasn’t sure what would be happening this week. I haven’t really felt in the mood to write much, which is why nothing appeared until my Cat in the Box review earlier today. But enough about writing funks. You’re not here to… Continue Reading “Friday Night shots – House Rules”

(This was supposed to go out last night, but instead it’s going out tonight. Pretend it’s still Friday, ok?) It’s another Friday, and it’s vacation time! Yes, I am off of work for an entire month, not returning until July 31. But since it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Game Length”

(Edit: 6/6/23: It’s live!) It’s rare when I see a “by a bunch of stuff in one bundle” offer come up where I want most of it, so it makes it worth actually taking a look at. That’s changed with the latest announcement from… Continue Reading “4 New Expansions from Alderac Entertainment Group Coming to Kickstarter June 6”
