One of my ongoing goals is to give thanks more often. I have a lot to be grateful for so it should be easy. However, I often find myself stressing over small challenges and little inconveniences rather than handling what I can and thanking god for my many blessings. In that spirit…

everything seems super urgent in my head…and then I put thought to word and it doesn’t seem so critical. So, I’m going to throw some nonsense at the wall and we’ll see what sticks.

Recently WMTG and I finished up the 3-part Hunt for The Golem mission for frost grave. Both of us had planned our moves and built our warbands well in advance of the game so this was a final showdown between our design philosophies.

There are some games that pull you in like a good B movie. You know they aren’t polished gold but you just can’t help coming back for more. That’s frost grave-reasonably well written-simple enough to play quickly-and a resource management mechanic which gets me every time.

I recently set out to play more war machine, build up to a tournament footing, and attend a couple local events. I listened to podcasts, read a ton of material, and played a couple starter games to get my toes wet. My goals were modest and, I thought, obtainable. Sadly, I’ve concluded that war machine in its current form just isn’t for me. That ( Read more... )
