This post has been a long time coming, mainly due to exhaustion on my part. A four-day con is a long con, especially when you are playing a lot of longer games. All of that would be fine, except then I started work on… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2023 Retrospective”

(Edit: 9/5/23) – The campaign is now live! I thought this warranted its own post rather than editing the previous post, because this is so much bigger than it seemed before. No new images yet, so I’ll post the graphic that’s currently on the… Continue Reading “Big Terraforming Mars Kickstarter Opens Tomorrow, September 5”

It’s Friday again! That was fast (that could be because I’m not writing this on Friday, since I’m actually out playing games tonight!) Grab a seat, and I hope you don’t mind the Delerium playing on the speakers. The volume’s not high. Can I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – One And Done Games”

Hey there. It’s Friday night, the Canadian Club is flowing just a little bit, and it’s time for a little light-hearted discussion about the news of the day. No, not the news that apparently there could be water under the ice on some of… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – What Game Mechanism Do You Hate?”

November was a good month of gaming, even with missing my final week’s game day and it being harder to get games in at work. I’ll of course talk about the “new to me” games in this month’s post (probably next week) but I… Continue Reading “November Gaming”
