Catching Up on Games (9/17/24)

It was a longer break this time since my last catch-up, partly due to some missed game days. But there are loads of games because there were more days when we played multiple games (which we used to very rarely do). This time, there are a lot of card games, including some dead ones! AndContinue reading “Catching Up on Games (9/17/24)”

Winds of the North Update & Call for Feedback

As expected after re-building the PDF, there were some errors resulting from the rebuild. There are a couple of other things to correct or update. Overall, nothing was a major problem, but I wanted to get an update out and also put out the call for feedback. Updates & Corrections Call for Feedback The newContinue reading “Winds of the North Update & Call for Feedback”

Winds of the North v0.9.1 Playtest

What’s Winds of the North? Winds of the North returns! It’s been quite a while. Why the long hiatus? Simply, I was still hopeful about finding a publisher. There’s still some hope, even if not exactly what I was looking for, but it also took weeks to rebuild the PDF from scratch. It had becomeContinue reading “Winds of the North v0.9.1 Playtest”

Cathing Up on Games (6/10/24)

It’s been a busy time, but an especially good one thanks to the Dungeon Dive’s review of The Unseen World! It was also busy because I did my first game trades. And between the Monday writing group and the once-per-month Thursday writing group, I’ve also been getting some good work done. Time has flip-flopped fromContinue reading “Cathing Up on Games (6/10/24)”

The Big Review for The Unseen World

For those who haven’t seen it yet, my game from 2022, The Unseen World, finally got a review on YouTube. It comes courtesy of The Dungeon Dive, a channel that focuses on fantasy/sci-fi/horror-themed tabletop games, from adventure board games to solo RPGs. If you’re interested in learning more about The Unseen World (instead of watchingContinue reading “The Big Review for The Unseen World”

More Writing Meetups — Mar. 28/Apr. 1, 2024 & Learning Japanese

Last week, I went to my second monthly writer’s group meetup on Thursday. It was a much smaller meetup this time with only 6 of us compared to around 15 last time (Easter weekend was right around the corner and the lousy weather might have had something to do with it). But it was aContinue reading “More Writing Meetups — Mar. 28/Apr. 1, 2024 & Learning Japanese”

Catching Up on Games (3/21/24)

I didn’t realize it had been so long since the last one of these! There was a bit of a pause in our game days when our friend went on vacation in January. But things have picked back up, and I’ve been playing some solitaire games as well. I might have to do some reviewsContinue reading “Catching Up on Games (3/21/24)”

Critique Circle — A Place for Writers

Over the past several years, while trying to pursue writing, my biggest hurdle was getting quality feedback to help me improve. If you’re not in college with access to professors or professional editors, it’s kind of a Wild West. I started in an online writing group which wasn’t too bad but it was short-lived. IContinue reading “Critique Circle — A Place for Writers”

Writing Group – Feb. 22, 2024

Yesterday, I attended my first local writing group meeting. Outside of school, I’ve never been in an in-person writing group. I was in an online writing group for a bit, and it worked pretty well, but it didn’t last long before activity waned. I had been trying to get some feedback on Facebook writing groups,Continue reading “Writing Group – Feb. 22, 2024”

End of Year & Top 100 (2023)

It’s that time again to catch up on what’s been going on, the plans for next year, and my top 100 tabletop games (no longer restricted to board games). End of Year I experimented with sales for my game, The Unseen World. I especially pushed the no-budget marketing during Halloween when the game was 50%Continue reading “End of Year & Top 100 (2023)”
