I should have posted this yesterday, but wanted to get the Dice Tower Con post out and I don’t like to do two major posts in one day. Yesterday morning, the Kickstarter for one of my most anticipated games went live. Viscounts of the… Continue Reading “Viscounts of the West Kingdom now on Kickstarter”

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”
