Once again in November I was able to attend Bottoscon, the largest wargaming convention in the Pacific Northwest. This year, they managed to get over 150 attendees, which is amazing considering that when they began 18 years ago, they had 32 attendees.

September was a fairly lean month for gaming, especially new to me games. I’ve already talked about my September gaming in general, so how about the monthly chat about “new to me” games? I’m actually quite proud of the fact that this is my… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2023”

(Edit: 9/5/23) – The campaign is now live! I thought this warranted its own post rather than editing the previous post, because this is so much bigger than it seemed before. No new images yet, so I’ll post the graphic that’s currently on the… Continue Reading “Big Terraforming Mars Kickstarter Opens Tomorrow, September 5”
