I’m so freaking excited, and I wasn’t thinking “freaking” there. One of my blogging inspirations, Dave over at the elegant Stately Play web site, has posted his review of the Steam version of Terraforming Mars (produced by Lucky Hammers and Asmodee Digital) that will… Continue Reading “Can you Terraform Mars with Steam power?

After an August that was gangbusters, September slowed down on the “New to Me” front, but I still did enough that I was able to keep my role as cult leader. There was no attempted insurrection this month, though that could have been because… Continue Reading “New to Me – September 2018”

This past weekend was the 2018 version of it, and it was just as much… Continue Reading “Dragonflight 39 – Another Successful Convention”

Sorry for the super-long delay in posting here at Dude Central (not counting yesterday’s repost). I had a mission, should I have chosen to accept it, that I had to take care of. Yes, you are looking at Tom Cruise, why do you ask?… Continue Reading “New to Me – May 2018”

April was an interesting month for the Cult of the New to Me. First, we had our new member initiation, but nobody came (oops!). (Editor: Doesn’t help that you gave them the wrong date) Then I took a look at the new to me… Continue Reading “New to Me – April 2018”

It was actually a pretty light month for new to me games. Between being sick and missing two game days/nights and then actually playing a few games multiple times, the new experiences were few and far between. In fact, I only have two new… Continue Reading “New to Me – January 2018”

Thankfully this post isn’t coming to you really late, like in mid-February. That would be a bit stale, wouldn’t it? I wanted to get this posted last week, but a bad cold did me in. Yes, Gollum, I agree. I know you’ve been waiting… Continue Reading “Top 10 Games Played in 2017 (5-1)”

November was not looking like a good month for “new to me” games, but the last two weeks really picked it up. I managed to end up playing four new games and two new expansions. What is the Cult of the New to Me?… Continue Reading “New to Me – November 2017”
