If I am getting my facts right, the story breaks down like this: A group of inmates started playing D&D in prison and tried to get others to play. This was seen by one inmate as “recruitment” into a gang. An anonymous letter was sent to the prison officials regarding … Continue reading →

Get My Relaxation On

Drinking a nice Merlot, wrapped in a blanket, and playing World of Warcraft. That’s how I get my relaxation on after a long day at the office. My three boys are asleep and safe, my wife is “doing her thing”, and my Worgen Hunter just dinged level 65. All is … Continue reading →

Zombie Dice, Take 2

After listening to the Dice Tower podcast (episode 196), I downloaded the free iPhone/iPad game Zombie Dice. This game is a (shotgun) blast! I loved it so much, I ran down to my local Games By James store and purchased the real thing. Now, game in hand, I can’t wait … Continue reading →

This weekend, my two oldest boys played Rattlesnake, Exago, and Blokus a good deal. And by “play” I don’t mean getting out the game and looking for players. No, what I mean is that they get out the games and then come up with fun things to do with them … Continue reading →

A friend of mine, Steve, hosted an all day games event at his house over the weekend. Nothing special. No balloons. No cover band. No open bar. It was a fantastic time and all it took was a couple of tables and chairs, some food, good people, and great games. … Continue reading →

I was asked the other day what it meant to be a “geek”. This fellow co-worker of mine began to answer her own question by asking other questions which were, “do you wear silly shirts, awkward around the opposite sex, or just kind of odd?” I waited until she was … Continue reading →
