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”

Yes, I know it’s Saturday. But after a day of having a hole punched in our wall and then another day of long driving (which was great and I picked up a couple of awesome-looking games, but it was long), I wasn’t in the… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – The Shelf of Shame”

It’s Friday. A long week is finished and it’s time to sit back, relax, have some good food and a drink of some kind (whatever kind you like). There’s plenty of soft music in the background too. This isn’t so much of an issue… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Expansions: Yea or Nay?”

It’s time for another storage solution using the Cube4Me trays provided to me by Rails on Boards. These plastic trays are pretty cool because, if you want to (which my good friend Zilla doesn’t seem to want to), you can actually nest them together… Continue Reading “The Last Hundred Yards – Storage Solution With Rails on Boards”

It’s been a few months since my lost post about the monthly GMT Update! That’s not GMT’s fault. They do it monthly. I just haven’t had a lot to say about the more recent ones. At least nothing that really seemed blogworthy. How many… Continue Reading “Highlights From the January 2023 GMT Games Update”

I was completely surprised to discover that my last post about the monthly GMT Update was from December 2021. I know I said I was taking over for the Players’ Aid while their written blog was kind of back-burnered due to real-life stuff. They’re… Continue Reading “Highlights From the August 2022 GMT Games Update”

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”
