I’ve just finished reading Renegade’s Magic, the final book of Robin Hobb’s Soldier’s Son trilogy. I found it somewhat disappointing. As with some of her other books (final of the Assassin trilogy as well), Hobb has the main character too much a spectator to events. Well, that’s not true: Navarre spends a lot of the book as being the main protagonist of all the events, … Continue reading Renegade’s Magic
Richard is 21. In fact, he was 21 a week-and-a-half ago, but today was his party… which he noted as being on the same day as his 20th birthday party last year. I find that somewhat strange; one of the coincidences that life throws at us. Assuming Richard didn’t plan it that way, which I don’t think he did. His party was held at the … Continue reading Richard’s 21st party

On Saturday, Randy gave me the three games he’d ordered for me… The Spirits of Niagara expansion, Alhambra, and Yspahan. I took Yspahan out of the wrapper once I got home, and fell in love. This is a cool game! Basically, the game has 21 turns, divided into 3 weeks of 7 days each. Each turn, you can gain gold, camels, draw a card, place … Continue reading Yspahan

Stephen Schubert speaking on Wizards employees posting on boards… (originally posted on hordelings.com) Generally, the same discussions are had on all 4 sites (WotC, MM, HL, and GH — and enworld to a much lesser degree), and by many of the same people. In fact, there are a number of occasions where a single poster cross-posts to multiple boards. I do pay attention to the … Continue reading Stephen Schubert – posting on boards
Stephen Schubert: On Random Boosters:The random booster has a significant advantage for retailers, as they need to only track and stock 1 “SKU” for each minis set. While your FLGS might not mind having a large rack of minis, the single SKU helps us get other stores to sell the product (like bookstores and larger retailers). The random packaging so far has proven successful, and … Continue reading Recent Post by Stephen Schubert
