But you get my point! Things you like as a… Continue Reading “Top 50 Games Played of All Time – 2024 Edition (#20-11)”

This post has been a long time coming, mainly due to exhaustion on my part. A four-day con is a long con, especially when you are playing a lot of longer games. All of that would be fine, except then I started work on… Continue Reading “Bottoscon 2023 Retrospective”

Good evening! Welcome back for another week. I’m so happy you could join me. Truth to tell, it gets a little lonely behind the bar in this place, even on a Friday night. Maybe I should actually unlock the doors so people could come… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – Player Interaction”

(Edit: 9/5/23) – The campaign is now live! I thought this warranted its own post rather than editing the previous post, because this is so much bigger than it seemed before. No new images yet, so I’ll post the graphic that’s currently on the… Continue Reading “Big Terraforming Mars Kickstarter Opens Tomorrow, September 5”

It’s Friday again! That was fast (that could be because I’m not writing this on Friday, since I’m actually out playing games tonight!) Grab a seat, and I hope you don’t mind the Delerium playing on the speakers. The volume’s not high. Can I… Continue Reading “Friday Night Shots – One And Done Games”

Hey there. It’s Friday night, the Canadian Club is flowing just a little bit, and it’s time for a little light-hearted discussion about the news of the day.
