July was vacation month. I was off the entire month and was away from my normal game group for half of the month. Thus, it’s not surprising that I only played two “new to me” games in July. But tell that to the rabble… Continue Reading “New to Me – July 2019”

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”
