One of the biggest hits for me during the beginning of the pandemic (when I bought way too many games than I really should have) was Roll Player. I had played it once before, was intrigued by it, but never actually got to play… Continue Reading “Expansion Review – Roll Player: Monsters & Minions”

Ah, 2021. The past year has been dangerous, depressing, disappointing, in some cases despotic, and many other words that begin with “d”. Everybody was so happy to get rid of it, to see it in the rear view mirror, like stopping at a rest… Continue Reading “New to me – January 2021”
