I’ve just posted a review of Niagara on bgg, a light Eurogame I’m quite fond of. That takes my count of reviews on bgg to the total of 4! Hmm. Still a way to go to challenge Tom Vasel. (No, I’m not going to even get close). I’m somewhere between page 12 and 15 of the most active reviewers on bgg. That I can improve, … Continue reading Posted a new review
I just received Dungeon #145, Dragon #353 and Dragon #354 in the mail. To say my delivery of these magazines is erratic somehow doesn’t fully encapsulate the experience. I haven’t actually *missed* an issue, but periodical delivery is not the best way of getting things on time, especially if you live in Australia. One reason I’m looking forward to the DI: I don’t have to … Continue reading Dragon & Dungeon magazine delivery
These are my personal views as to why Wizards has ended the production of Paizo’s “Dragon” and “Dungeon” magazines. They are not informed by anyone at Wizards, save what has been posted publically.

I’m going to be making … Continue reading Thoughts on the Digital Initiative

After that, I hung around until 10pm, chatting with Dave, Daniel and Sarah about the Ulek campaign, how much fun we were having with D&D at the moment (they keep finding cool things in new Wizards books to … Continue reading Saturday – Cricket World Cup Final
Lots of boardgames, mostly. Runebound (solo) – quite a few games recently. Not the best solo game, but I’m getting used to the game this way. Arkham Horror (solo) – a lot of games recently. Probably one of the best solo games out there, although Arkham is destroyed a lot. 🙂 War of the Ring – two games down, one more coming up. Great wargame … Continue reading What I’m playing…
Stephen Schubert posted on maxminis: “While we’ll continue to include maps in the starter set, it so far hasn’t been feasible to release a starter with every set. Map delivery continues to be a topic of discussion. There will be new maps in the next starter, and we have some various options that we’re looking into. The key for me is making sure a new … Continue reading Stephen Schubert – on maps
