Not too long ago, space was a battleground. Many fought and died among the stars. That time has passed and peace has been declared by all the warring races.

You have been hand-selected to represent your race and construct such a space station. You have limited time and resources, but you must succeed for the betterment of all. Continue reading
The life of an Adventurer is more or less focused on getting as much treasure as possible and then living long enough to enjoy it. The trouble is, most of the really good treasure is being horded by very aggressive and overly greedy monsters. Lucky for Adventurers, there is no shortage of dark and dangerous places to go explore and engage these monsters in combat. It’s all about getting rich quick or die trying, with emphasis on the dying which usually involves being eaten, smashed, burned, torn asunder, or carved. Remember, you don’t have to be the fastest when running away from a dragon, just not the slowest. Continue reading
It has been said that the shortest distance between any two points is a straight line. This is an incorrect statement in a non-Euclidean universe and in the game Pathagon. The shortest distance is exactly what each player is attempting, but with limited game board space, players must quickly find alternative routes and make constant adjustments. This is a game that depends on a player to act and react at the same time. As the paths are built and destroyed, it becomes clear that the only way to connect the two points is to bridge it with mind power. Continue reading

Keep your eyes on the road and the prize, as you attempt to be smarter and faster than your competition. Continue reading
The only things standing between a dragon’s wrath and the people of the Kingdom is a bard. But not just any bard, the Dragon’s Bard. This individual wanders the lands in search of great stories about great people doing great deeds. He collects them, memorizes them, and then makes the journey to the dragon’s lair. There, he tells the tales he has learned to the great and powerful Khrag, a dragon of legend who is to be feared. If Khrag is pleased by the tales, the Kingdom is saved for a time. If the dragon is not entertained, the lands will burn. Continue reading
And just like that, the Heroes were gone. When the smoke cleared, all that remained was a pile of ash, a helmet or two, and the toothy grin of the dragon. The Hirelings stood there in shock and horror. Nowhere in the “Hirelings Helpful Guide of How To (3.52 Edition)” is there any mention of how to handle this type of situation. The dragon locks its yellow eyes on the Hirelings and the answer to what should be done next is as clear as a summer day. RUN!!! Continue reading
The old adventurer sitting at the inn table looks tired, worn, and beaten. He tries to smile, fails, and instead just looks at his mug of warm ale. He says there’s a treasure to be found that he will pay you to find. He’d get it himself, but he’s in no shape to do so and not as young as he once was. He’ll pay you up front and you are welcome to keep all the treasure you find along the way. When you ask him what the catch is, he mumbles something about a crumbling tomb, monsters, and a rampaging ghost. You shrug. A jobs a job and you could use the gold. Time to go make a living the hard way. Continue reading
Quietly, you move through the treeline, looking for any signs of movement on the horizon. Pausing for a moment, you carefully examine a set of tracks. They look to be fresh, big, and heavy. There’s a buck nearby. As your heart rate increases, you do what you can to settle your nerves. If the majestic animal is still close, you’ll need to position yourself and wait. Or should you press on and keep looking, in hopes of sneaking up on the deer? Make a choice and risk it all or play it safe. Just keep in mind that no legendary hunting story ever began with, “So I called it a day and went back home.” Continue reading

Looks like a simple and relaxing fishing trip just got serious. Roll up your sleeves and lock your eyes on the prize. There’s shrimp to win! Continue reading
Everyone has an opinon. Heck, Father Geek wouldn’t exist if it weren’t for opinions (which, in our opinion, would be very sad). But if everyone has an opinion, is one better than another? Certainly an educated and thoughtful opinion would be of more value than a person’s opinion that is based purely on speculation and personal bias, right? Well, not always, and in this game, almost never. Continue reading
It’s a fact that anyone can learn how to cook. Given enough time, patience, and training, an individual can go from ruining a bowl of cereal to creating a 7 course meal that would make Wolfgang Puck sit up and take notice. But there is an elite group who are truly talented and can take anything you put in front of them to create edible miracles. Are you up to the challenge? Continue reading
