I knew that November was going to be huge for New to Me games, but I didn’t realize just how huge! Between a convention (which, surprisingly enough, I didn’t play many new to me games at until the day Abi showed up) and multiple… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2025”

It’s nice when a month of gaming comes together in unexpected ways is better than you expected it to be. I was surprised by July’s gaming numbers, considering I was off. August came around and I was going to be missing one Sunday due… Continue Reading “August 2025 Gaming”

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”

After a really full March, where it seemed like I played one game a day (ok, that’s only if you average it out, but still), April was a wasteland for gaming, sadly. Missing two Sundays, not as many games during lunch at work (if… Continue Reading “April 2024 Gaming”
