There is a much more reasonable number of games this time, in part due to our Earthborne Rangers campaign, which has taken up our gameday several times already. This time, there’s a mix of new and returning games and a couple of RPGs! There were definitely a couple of games that were a surprise (goodContinue reading “Catching Up on Games (9/8/25)”

Catching Up on Games (6/25/25)
I’m trying to keep more caught up so there isn’t a giant backlog to go through. I think, given how much gaming we’ve gotten in this year, I might have to do this once a month! At least my solo gaming has been a bit quiet lately, so fewer of those this time, also makingContinue reading “Catching Up on Games (6/25/25)”
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)”
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”
Board Game Review: Knarr
9/10 A spectacular and speedy set-collection game Update: 10/10 In Knarr, you will run a crew of Vikings and explore and settle lands while recruiting new Vikings to your crew. Don’t get too excited, there’s not a lot of theme here. It’s a simple set-collection card game where you can cash in your sets ofContinue reading “Board Game Review: Knarr”
Video Games, Too
I’ve made a few posts diving into my experiences with Valheim and Final Fantasy XIV, so I thought I would round up a few games I’ve played recently. Nioh: Complete Edition I was surprised this one ran as well as it did on my toaster of a PC. Nioh is an action RPG with similarContinue reading “Video Games, Too”
My (Late) Journey into Legend of the Five Rings (Review?)
I grew up playing collectible card games, mostly Magic: The Gathering and the Lord of the Rings TCG, but I also tried out others and collected a few. Legend of the Five Rings was one I had simply never crossed paths with. I heard about it years later while it was still under AEG, butContinue reading “My (Late) Journey into Legend of the Five Rings (Review?)”
Board Game Review: Unsettled
8/10 A unique coop puzzle with endless possibilities You are the crew of the Scarab, lost in space and facing all manner of challenges from planetary life trying to kill you to being stranded among asteroids. Only by working together will you survive and make it home. Despite how interested I was in Vindication (byContinue reading “Board Game Review: Unsettled”
Board Game Review: Vindication
10/10 A perfect blend of theme and strategy You are a scumbag thrown overboard by your shipmates. After washing ashore on a strange island, you must explore and regain your honor. Vindication has been on my radar since the first Kickstarter campaign, but I’ve never had money while it was going. My friend acquired aContinue reading “Board Game Review: Vindication”
