Happy New Year, everybody! I hope you had a safe and happy New Year’s Eve celebration last night, or at least just spent the changeover with your loved ones. Some of you may even have been asleep! As I did last year and for… Continue Reading “Blog in Review – 2024”

Welcome back to the bar! It’s been a month, but I’m happy to welcome you back. It’s always nice to get just a little bit of income from it, since nobody else really comes in here. Other than Bob in the back, who’s sharing… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Patreon”

It’s Monday and 2024 is upon us, almost sneaking up on us like a wily coyote hunting a roadrunner. As is my tradition over the past 4 years or so, I wanted to do an update on how this blog, and my gaming, is… Continue Reading “Blog in Review – 2023”

What’s this, on the horizon? Is that a GMT Update post by Dave? Does Dave really like a bunch of GMT games but just has had nothing really to say about the updates since June? Does Dave really talk about himself in the third… Continue Reading “Highlights From the October GMT Games Update”

(This was supposed to go out last night, but instead it’s going out tonight. Pretend it’s still Friday, ok?) It’s another Friday, and it’s vacation time! Yes, I am off of work for an entire month, not returning until July 31. But since it… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Game Length”

It’s good to see the Players’ Aid back to doing some posts! They’re still just interviews right now (or they were, until they posted something non-interviewish this morning after I had written all of this last night!) so I’m going to continue doing a… Continue Reading “November 2021 Monthly Update From GMT Games”

It’s been since June that one of my favourite blogs, the Players’ Aid, has had a post about the monthly GMT Games update. I’ve missed it (along with all of their other posts). Life happens, I know. Both Grant and Alexander have been extremely… Continue Reading “October 2021 Monthly Update from GMT Games”

I sometimes lose track of when I started this blog. Over the weekend, I realized that Saturday was the 4-year anniversary, with my first post going out on March 13, 2017. It was a review of a wonderful little game called World’s Fair 1893,… Continue Reading “4 Years and Counting”

One genre of games I haven’t really gotten into, mainly because I haven’t had the opportunity, is solo gaming. There are many great-sounding solo wargames out there, but the idea of spending 2-3 hours playing a game on the table by myself just doesn’t… Continue Reading “App Review – Pavlov’s House”

I normally don’t do this, but a number of my blogging buddies are doing a look back at their blog and seeing how things went for them in 2019. While I haven’t done this in the past, it is an interesting academic exercise as… Continue Reading “Blog in Review – 2019”
