Battle Box is one of my favourite Magic the Gathering formats. It’s a self-contained gaming environment for 2 players. Mine has 171 spells and 20 lands — 10 for each player. Players draw from a shared deck and the deck is focused on combat and combat tricks.
It’s perfect for quick and casual lunch time or afterwork gaming session. There’s no need to build and bring your own deck or learn deep strategies of a specific deck. You shuffle up, draw and start playing. You read the cards as you draw th…

I hoped that it would never come to this point, but we are long past the point of “a straw breaking the camel’s back”. Magic the Gathering, a card game that I was fond of more than half my life, … Continue reading →

As I mentioned, more new games that I couldn’t fit in my Friday segment spilled to Saturday stream. Just two games though, so not a big post here

Got early review access from the publisher, so trying it before it releases next week. With first game I had a complicated relationship – I started playing when it first release in Early Access with just the first chapter available and while humour was a bit hit or miss, I still enjoyed it. Later they released chapter two update and you ne…

We're about two thirds of the way through Blaugust, so I'm feeling pretty good at this point about my plan for the month. Today, I'm going to continue the theme of discussing World of Warcraft expansions.
The War Within is the one I just finished, the expansion that carried me right up to the doorstep of where I am now. Writing about it feels strange, because it's not history yet. Midnight is the live game as I type this, so the War Within is the stretch I was playing until about five minutes ag…

Back when Balatro was still new, I heard a whole lot about this deck-building Poker roguelike. I mean, a lot a lot about it. It was, and still is, rated overwhelmingly positive on Steam.

Every Wednesday I meet up with a group at a local game store and play a couple hours of D&D. I'll be reposting this over on my D&D character blog, but when I do I'll also be adding an AI generated story board that coincides with the text. I made a comic book out of the first three months of play, and I'm considering doing the same with this next three months' worth of play.
Anyway, since I need to put something up for Blaugust, I thought I'd just post my character journal up here as well!
When y…

Full week of work is tough after two weeks of vacation and a week onsite at a location. Made some progress on the remaining onboarding tasks.
Practiced guitar a few times but not nearly as much as I would like.
Completed most school work early in the week so I could spread working on the paper out a few days comfortably.
Corrected the expired token issue with Netlify so the /now page works correctly.

I logged on this morning to find that the servers were down for EverQuest Legends, so I decided to join the Discord server and see what's up. OH man, that was a weird flame fest. A comment from Brasse was taken out of context (typical for CMs). It certainly got that Discord chat jumping. It felt like all the general chat channels from every unavailable server suddenly exploded on Discord.
*shivers* PTSD from being a CM
I muted that server quickly and got on with some real-life stuff for a bit. L…

In one of those Repo Man lattice of coincidence moments, I was suddenly hit with a couple of unrelated posts about Monopoly the other day, which is the sort of thing that makes you think… at least think about Monopoly. So I did. Or tried.
The first was from Bhagpuss, who brought up the apparent reveal of a RuneScape edition of Monopoly.

This is the sort of thing that generates… negative interest from me… or antagonism. This is just the sam…
