We’ve never played so many games at a Gen Con as we did in 2021. Despite the international shipping crisis, some were new, many were old, but many were also new to us or at least, new to me. It’s been a while now since Gen Con, so let’s dive right in to highlight 3 …
I got to play the new Unmatched Legends Volume 2, by Restoration Games, at Gen Con, and would have bought it on the spot, without question, because it’s awesome. I didn’t because you know, international shipping crisis and all. I guess it’s good to know that we’re not the only ones. But if you’re waiting …
Friends, we had Gen Con. It was different than past Gen Cons, but it was Gen Con and after a crushing year off, it was back this year, baby! Those of us who attend are extremely lucky to get to experience such joy for 4-5 days every year, I hope each reader has found their …
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.

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 …
