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)”
Catching Up on Games (12/16/23)
Recently, we had a chance to meet up and play games several days in one week. As the end of the year draws closer and we’ve been readying to redo our top 100s, I’ve also been trying to get in more solo games. So, here’s what I’ve been playing lately! 2023 Top 100 coming soon!Continue reading “Catching Up on Games (12/16/23)”
Other Releases
This is a quick update to highlight that I’ve added a new section to the site for other releases (found under the Releases tab). These are for extra things like the content I’ve made for Runebound (which needs to be uploaded) and other games, or anything I make that doesn’t quite fit in another categoryContinue reading “Other Releases”
Runebound 2nd Edition: Sands of Al-Kalim
As seen in last year’s Top 100, Runebound is one of my favorite games and has been since it hooked me into the hobby some 13 years ago. I’m actually lucky I got into the hobby when I did. Had I missed out on Runebound, it would have been my grail game for many years.Continue reading “Runebound 2nd Edition: Sands of Al-Kalim”
Catching up on Games (11/1/23)
We had some good weekends of getting games played, including a bunch of new ones (some just new to us). Vindication + Chronicles I love Vindication. Chronicles adds a lot of narrative to the game to make it more immersive. This is a double-edged sword. Adding story is great, and there are some neat waysContinue reading “Catching up on Games (11/1/23)”
