Part 1 I’ve now finished the swamps and (after many journeys) finished the mountains. After that, I did some much-needed renovating of my base. The Swamps I love the swamps. It’s moody, dark, full of nasty monsters, and poison is not to be underestimated. And I like the little touches the biome has from theContinue reading “Valheim Part 2”

First Impressions: Valheim
When I started my website, I intended to do more articles on video games, but rarely am I able to play anything new. However, a friend gifted me a copy of Valheim, and I’ve been diving in quite a lot. Valheim is an open-world survival/crafting game with a Viking-inspired setting. Like most games in theContinue reading “First Impressions: Valheim”

Reviews Latest review for The Name of the Wind is up. Seems to have flown under the algorithm radar. Coming up soon-ish will be my first review for Reedsy’s Discovery. I’m also in a game of Savage Worlds RPG, so that will be the next first impressions. At some point, I might do a reviewContinue reading “Updates: 2-6-2021”
My Review Process
Since making my website, I’ve done many more reviews and developed my own format and process. I thought I’d share what is, at the moment, how I write reviews and decide scores.

Frostgrave Sessions pt 3
Here is the final part in my home-brewed solo campaign of Frostgrave.

Session Report Due to a canceled game session, I had some timeContinue reading “Frostgrave Sessions pt 3”

Frostgrave is a skirmish tabletop miniatures game, or specifically, the rules for one, and the second edition came out this year. You can play with any miniatures you own and even your own terrain. Though overContinue reading “Frostgrave Sessions pt 1”

Update: Projects and Reviews
Posts have been light lately; I’ve been very focused on work. And yesterday, I had a bit of website work to do because I upgraded my account and I now have a real domain!
