We played again today, this time the fourth scenario: Deeper in Castile. I, once again, took the side with the goblins, while my wife had the dwarves on her side. I’ve got to say, those dwarves are really something. You get four units of dwarves in that scenario (three blue infantry and [...]

Well, my wife and I played the second and third scenarios in BattleLore yesterday, and this time I won both battles. Some brief impressions follow:
First Chevauchee: I don’t know if it was the command cards we got or how we played them, but this scenario turned into a massive brawl pretty quickly. After [...]

I went out and spent some of my Christmas gift certificate money on BattleLore the other day, and I got to play it with my wife for the first time today. The game is just too massive for me to do a review of it yet, especially since the Agincourt scenario doesn’t even begin [...]

Ok, in the last post I mentioned a plastic polar bear that craps candy. Well, we’ve uploaded a video to YouTube, and here it is for your viewing pleasure. Hopefully it’s finished being uploaded by the time you read this.

Also of note is the sheer volume of RPG products I got this year. [...]

So, cheesy movie jokes aside, I had a pretty good Christmas. Tonight we went to my parents’ house, and I got a bunch more geeky goodness. I got 3 more (!) RPG books: the Player’s Guide to Eberron, Secrets of Xen’drik, and Deliria: Faerie Tales for a New Millenium. The first two [...]

My wife and I exchanged gifts today. I got Firefly, which I’ve wanted for a while. I also got some other cool stuff: some nice clothes, A Dangerous Man by Charlie Huston, a hard case for my iPod, some Christmas coffee, new pajamas, and a heated car windshield scraper. All in all, [...]

Last night we had a sort of pre-Christmas Eve party, complete with gift exchange. I got some really cool stuff, some of it very, very geeky.

I got a wine corkscrew set, which looks startlingly like a spaceship of some sort. A wine-opening spaceship. Very cool.

Apples to Apples. This is, quite possibly, [...]

My website just got moved onto a new server, so if you see some textual corruption in the posts below (particularly my NaNoWriMo posts, apparently), that’s why. In other news, I’ve been debating whether or not to put a forum on the site. I had one a long time ago, and hardly anyone [...]

I just got back from seeing Eragon. Not a bad movie, though not a great one, either. It seems to bring up a bit of a catch-22. I really wish I had seen this movie before having seen The Lord of the Rings, because that movie set the bar pretty high for [...]

Bookworm Adventures Deluxe is a wonderfully addictive little bit of linguaphilia. Each stage is a series of monster battles with a boss battle at the end, somewhat reminiscent of an old-school CRPG. The thing is, instead of just attacking with a sword or something, you spell words: the more difficult the word, the [...]
