It’s a brand new year! And as I mentioned yesterday, I plan to continue blogging at the pace that I kept up last year. Maybe even more, though I’m not sure if that would kill me or not. After the blog review yesterday, you… Continue Reading “December 2023 Gaming”

It’s the last Friday before Christmas and all through the malls, too many creatures were stirring, so much so that I would rather carve Shem Phillips’ initials into my hand with a penknife than go shopping.

There’s just something about the simplicity of the plastic tray solutions provided by Rails on Board/Cube4Me. Something that’s really attractive. I think it’s the ability to nest trays together so you only need one lid, as long as the counters you are storing in… Continue Reading “The Last Hundred Yards – Russian Front – Storage Solution With Rails on Board”

With a convention at the beginning of the month, it was a no-brainer that November would be a bigger gaming month than October had been. However, after working remotely for most of the month (so no lunch-time games, since I’m usually doing stuff around… Continue Reading “November 2023 Gaming”
