Number of View: 191Yesterday was a great day for gaming. I’m in Minneapolis on business, and only had one appointment, an hour long meeting at 4:30.

Number of View: 291We’ve had a couple of bites from people interested in joining a new group, but haven’t actually met face-to-face, so in the meantime, Bridget and I have begun trying roleplaying without roleplaying. What do I mean? I mean that I pulled out Runebound the other night and we marched around the lands [...]
Number of View: 304A while back I spoke about injecting RP to your war games, and now the idea comes full circle. What about combining RPGs with war games? How would that work out? Considering RPGs sprung from war games, so it’s a natural progression. Imagine a campaign where war had begun to spread across the [...]

Number of View: 69With me and Bridget heading off for 10 days in Florida for a family reunion and some time in Disney World, it led me to think about how my group has recently taken a little break as well (and will continue to do so until I get back). It’s been kind of [...]

Reviews & Culture
Number of View: 50No, this is not a Monsterpocalypse review. I can’t make a good review because I have not played it, I probably won’t play it. I don’t subscribe to any collectible games. This is a about the return that ancient, and very awesome classic, Cosmic Encounters. Cosmic Encounters holds a special place for [...]
