Red Dragon Inn play test
For longer than I can recall I’ve wanted to play the Red Dragon Inn. For one reason or another it was on my short list, but something else always came out or was the new hotness and I never got around to buying a copy. Also, I was skeptical about the theme. My gaming group includes […]
Free trade coffees in an anti-competitive pod: hippie hypocrits!
Green Mountain Coffee Roasters is hard at work making pods for the Keurig brewer that contain some kind of exclusivity device. Just like iTunes music that gets tied to your computer the Keurig 2.0 system will only brew drinks from licensed pod makers. That means kiss those lower cost pods at Wal-Mart good bye. If […]

Relic: finally played a full game.
We finally sat down for a full on game of Relic. We adopted a house rule to allow leveling up with 4 points worth of trophies, rather than the 6 points as mentioned in the rules. This was an attempt to make the game move along a little quicker. Even with the lower threshold for […]

A long day of playing Eldritch Horror
Eldritch Horror is the new Lovecraftian board game from Fantasy Flight. Many people have called it Arkham Horror 2.0. After playing several games I don’t think EH is a revised Arkham. It plays quite differently and when my AH group approached this game as yet another AH big box expansion we lost. We lost a […]

Warhammer on-line is gone?!
I decided to check in on my free-to-play rank 10 Dwarf Engineer. I hadn’t played Warhammer on-line much but I did like the game. I didn’t make it past the first PvP area. I pulled up the client and nothing happened. It looked like the application wanted to update. So I headed over to the […]
Starting the new semster
Lot’s has happened and none of it made the blog. Painting dwarfs, starting courses at VTC, lot’s of gaming. It’s really tough to write about things when there’s no time. I suppose I need to set aside some time for things. A schedule would be a good thing…

Relic beatdown
Every once in awhile you play a game and can’t do anything right. No matter what you try. No matter how you change your style or strategy, nothing works. That was my first attempt at Relic. Every time I needed to roll for an enemy I rolled 6. One time I made a 3 monster […]

A Brilliant Idea: Savage Worlds Scooby-Doo
This is a brilliant idea. I was wandering around the Savage Worlds forums looking for extra Pirates of the Spanish Main RPG info and I tripped across this thread. A Savage Worlds Scooby-Doo adventure. The gang are all wild cards and each player is carefully matched to the right hindrances and edges. For example, […]
