Epic duels guy turned blogger and reviewer turned designer and publisher of original games
Admiral Ackbar & Wedge Antilles were still standing in the Geonosis Arena after killing San Hill, the last of the 3 major character they dispensed with, and Roman conceded instead of fighting it out with the 2 Super Battle Droids. It was quite a comeback, with Ackbar & Wedge overcoming a 2-to-1 advantage over a …
If you follow board games even a little bit, you’ve heard of Spirit Island. If you haven’t, then at least stick with this blog and we’ll take care of you. It’s my unscientific opinion that this is one of the most popular games out there. It seems like I hear about it from all corners, …
Not too long ago, I tweeted that windy summer days make me think of Ultima IV. Of course, this means I went out and installed Ultima IV (along with V and VI) from my GOG Library and played through a good part of it, enough to have it queued up at a really fun spot. …
If you’re following the Fearsome Wilderness Kickstarter, I’ll be repeating a lot of what I stated there in our most recent update, while adding a few tidbits. If this is the first you’re hearing of it then hopefully it doesn’t really impact you: There’s a shipping crisis of global proportions, and although it’s everywhere, it’s …
First in-person multiplayer gaming since February 2020, aside from a few rounds of Sushi Go Party during a family weekend. First in-person Epic Duels in quite a bit longer than February 2020, plus we got in some Spirit Island and Imhotep, which I will cover in future posts. This session was with the 1670 group, …
First off, if you’re not playing board games on boardgamearena.com, why aren’t you? It’s free, it’s browser-based, and it’s awesome. All of this was true prior to the pandemic, and seeing as that’s still going on, all the more reason to play games online. I love how it sets up and records everything for you …

For fans of Fearsome Wilderness, there’s more to come! Stay tuned. As for our Curse of Strahd …
Fearsome Wilderness is looking great and it’s not too late to get in on late pledge at MyMiniFactory (Edit: ok now it’s too late). At Geektopia Games, we’ve made a lot of progress from being just a group of guys adding on to existing games. Just since 2019, we’ve figured out how to design prototypes …
Just a general update on things at Geektopia Games: Late pledge is still available on MyMiniFactory for those interested in print-and-play including the 3D print files: https://www.myminifactory.com/campaigns/fearsome-wilderness-131 Fearsome Wilderness Print and Play has been fulfilled and it’s on!

I’ve done this twice recently with the Freedon Nadd and Ahsoka, Defender of Corvus decks, so I thought I’d explain briefly. I make a lot of SWED decks. I get ideas and sometimes they come together really well and really elegantly. Sometimes they don’t. In making decks for LOTRED, it has been no different. Some …
