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 …

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 …
This old blog post gets at what I was looking for in a space game, and explicitly why current space games like Xia and Firefly the Game fall short. I was looking for a mix of those 2 games along with Merchants & Marauders, the best pirate board game I’ve played so far. But, as I …
In this post, I’ll describe the process, step by step, of how I made a custom terrain board for the cooperative tabletop board game Fearsome Wilderness. In a previous blog post, Modular Wargaming Terrain: A Low Cost How-to DIY, I described my process for making a large modular terrain board for Warhammer 40K and it …
