Worldwide D&D Day is this Saturday, November 4th, and I hope you get the chance to try your hand at it. You don’t need to bring anything (heck, you don’t even need to know anything about how to play!), just head to your local participating FLGS and join a game going on that day. I [...]
I listen to a fair amount of sports talk shows and watch a good-sized amount of sports shows. WHY IN THE WORLD DOES EVERY SINGLE MEMBER OF THE DOUBLE-FRICKING SPORTS MEDIA CARE SO MUCH ABOUT KENNY RODGERS’S SMUDGE THAT THEY SPEND HOURS UPON HOURS OVER DAYS UPON DAYS ABOUT IT? Particularly when they also make [...]

The World of Warcraft CCG has arrived, and I’ve just gotten to play my first game. It’s intriguing, and I can’t wait to try and learn more of it. I’ll have the rules down pat by Sunday (a week from now), and I’ll be helping host a Release Celebration at my FLGS on Sunday, October [...]
I recently posted a link to Marshall Ramsey’s blog, an editorial cartoonist for the Clarion-Ledger (our Jackson newspaper) who has won a number of awards for his work, which always strikes a chord with me. His blog is my favorite way to keep up with what’s happening in Jackson (especially when we had crazy mayor [...]
Fun philosophical theological discussion here.

Games are fascinating things. A good one can make your day, and a bad one can depress your mood. Age of Steam sucks the fun out of your fun and life like few others I’ve played. Combine that with a rainy, icky day, it’s enough to make anyone want to go to bed early. Yet [...]
This weekend was nice. My FLGS (friendly local gaming store) held a board game day, so I brought a couple of games, and won at Railroad Tycoon and Lord of the Rings, as well as had plenty of laughs at Liar’s Poker. (If you haven’t tried Liar’s Poker, you are missing something significant in life.) Beyond that, [...]
It will. I promise. Kristen and I spent most of Saturday night and Sunday day playing Civ IV with each other - it’s waaaaaaay too fun and addictive.
In other news, North Korea is crazy, and I probably wouldn’t pay as much attention to it as I have if not for the fact that my best [...]
For those unfamiliar with the game of Mafia, I strongly suggest you read a primer on the game. It’s compelling, full of suspense and mystery, and you lynch people. I’ve been playing quite a bit lately, and it’s been a blast. I’ve been on a roll lately, too.
In other more interesting news, [...]
Kristen and I went gaming at a friend’s house last night, and we got the opportunity to play a couple of games I’ve wanted to try for a while. We played Betrayal at House on the Hill (one I have and love), Modern Art (which I’d heard wonderful things about), and Bohnanza (also recommended by [...]
