Preamble:  Go ahead and skip down to DCO Structure if you don’t want to read a bunch of my thoughts on two different types of RPGs and why I think they developed. TL;DR: Dusk City Outlaws is a type of…

Dusk City Outlaws are my favourite Helsinki-based Ultras Group

This is a post about my enthusiasms, because it isn’t even a post about one of my games; it’s a post about one of JIM’s games. Or what will be his game. But it is a First Impressions post too,…

I received a message from JC regarding Trajan, a boardgame Steven had picked up last November and they were just getting around to playing. “It is a really interesting Euro token game, so everyone is kept involved to the very…

Not your grandfather’s Red Gore.

Of all the things I’ve missed since our kid was born two years ago, I was surprised by how much I missed painting. I wasn’t particularly on a tear when Fi was born anyway, having ground to a halt on…
