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).

It’s Friday again! That was fast (that could be because I’m not writing this on Friday, since I’m actually out playing games tonight!) Grab a seat, and I hope you don’t mind the Delerium playing on the speakers. The volume’s not high. Can I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – One And Done Games”

It was a close one this week. Yes, I almost didn’t get this post done so that it would post this week at all. That would break my streak and we know that we can’t have that. But here it is! We’re three episodes… Continue Reading “Boardgame Geek Top 300 – Play or Played – #230-221”
