Power, Glory, Shame!
Spent some time in the garage today sprucing up the game space. Rita gave me a rug and seat cushions for the cave as a Christmas gift, which should make things considerably more comfortable. Not immediately obvious from the photo is that I moved the game shelves back about eighteen inches to open up room... Continue Reading →
And so we come to the end of the magical misery tour that was Geekend Winter Quarters. Of course it wasn't as bad as all that, but by Sunday my body had well and truly broken down. Lost sleep and too much meat had taken its toll to a degree I hadn't experienced in Geekends... Continue Reading →
My Sunday AAR for Winter Quarters is still to follow, but I thought I'd interrupt the propaganda to see if anyone out there was familiar with either of these two titles from Numbskull Games: Both are billed as short, simpler, multi-player wargames with Euro sensibilities, and they struck me as just the thing to refit...

And so we survived Friday, and emboldened by our success failed to correctly estimate the nature of our opponent. The column moves into enemy territory, hatches open, point men daydreaming, little guessing the horror that awaits! The smartest man in all the Kingdom was Tom Keefer, HRH What If?, the Once (and Future?) King o'... Continue Reading →
Winter Quarters is a week behind me now. I've caught up on my sleep, my game hand isn't cramped anymore, and my ass spasms from hours planted in a plastic chair have subsided.

Mr. Chris Donovan is flying down from Seattle to spend the weekend playing games, so come on over and honor his madness and dubious need... Continue Reading →
With Jack none too thrilled the last time we played Battle Cry, I sensed I had to make the next outing sing for him, or this game would be going on the shelf until I had grandchildren. So I pulled out all the stops. Jack complained about the lack of terrain in our last game,... Continue Reading →
I've been working a lot, lately, and spending most of my time with Miles when I haven't been at work, so I owed Jack a night of his own. In addition to burgers out and a trip to the book store, Jack asked to play some games. Cool. We knocked off three games of Travel... Continue Reading →
My fellow Geeks! Geekend Winter Quarters will begin on Saturday, December 4th, at lunch time. C'mon by ... we will have beer and hamburger, but it is up to you to bring more exotic drinks and meat if that is your desire. Likewise you can bring games if you wish, but you know I have...

It is way early to announce this, but we're going to have another game weekend here at my secret lair. Mr. Chris Donovan will be down for gaming the first week of December -- that's December 3rd, 4th, and 5th. Readers of this blog are invited to join us for some heavy Euros and wargames....

Geekend Forever!
