June 2026 Gaming
Happy Canada Day! June was a weird month for gaming. It had a full convention, a 3-day weekend of wonderful gaming with friends as well new acquintances. However, that convention was full of long plays so the number of games played wasn’t as high… Continue Reading “June 2026 Gaming”
Bottoscon Spring 2026 Retrospective
It’s June, so it must be time for the 2nd annual Bottoscon Spring convention! Bottoscon is a convention created and run by (though the running of it is helped by numerous other people as well) Rob Bottos, a great guy who looks out for… Continue Reading “Bottoscon Spring 2026 Retrospective”

Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2026 Edition (#10-1)
Now we’ve gone and done it. We’ve now reached the Top 10 games of all time, played by me at least.

Sometimes, though, an expansion just gives you more stuff to think about… Continue Reading “Bury the Nose – Body of Books Review (Scholars of the South Tigris expansion)”
June 2025 Gaming
With a convention in June (Bottoscon for the win!), I knew that June would be a much better month for gaming than May was. That’s one reason I love convention months! Even so, there weren’t as many “new to me” games as in previous… Continue Reading “June 2025 Gaming”
March 2025 Gaming
I knew March was going to be a big month for gaming, considering the Terminal City Tabletop Convention weekend. However, I had no idea how big it would be! Last month, I had 20 plays of 14 different games, and I thought it was… Continue Reading “March 2025 Gaming”
Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025
Last weekend was the 10th (maybe 11th?) annual Terminal City Tabletop Convention (though I guess it was interrupted by COVID so not actually 11?). I have to say it was probably the best yet. In previous years, the people running it didn’t do the… Continue Reading “Terminal City Tabletop Convention Retrospective – 2025”
