30 years of chat rooms, ICQ, forums and social media, was a wild ride with ups and downs, but the time to let go has finally come. We are both retired now. I’ll spend my time playing with the dog, soloing games, playing board games with my gamer wife and playing with my RPG group. Godspeed and...

Every two weeks, which means the month of December we didn't play. We've decided to use a different system to schedule our games. Everyone has to accept the Google Calendar invite and there will be an email reminder the evening before. Everyone is onboard for January sessions.

Lastly, if a game is only played using cards, I'm less likely to enjoy it. I tried liking CCGs, Living card games and other types of card games but I just zone out. Last time I played computer games was Diablo II and Champions of Norrath. I'm not even tempted to try the latest Balder's Gate. I...

From about 2004 to 2014 I was very involved into miniature wargaming. I played 40k, Warmachines, Infinity and several niche wargames like Freebooters Fate, Pulp City and Dark Age. I organized events, leagues and tournaments. I did demos. During that period I had given up on RPGs. It was too...
