As a Barsoom fan since my teens, I did like many others when first reading The Chessmen of Mars (where the game of jetan was first described) and built myself a jetan board out of orange posterboard and cobbled together the game pieces from two differently-sized chess sets. (Jetan has two types of kind-of-rooks and two types of kind-of-bishops, and is played on a chessboard containing 100 squares, not the 64 of chess.) In any case, it's been an enjoyable read.

I did that with the Dragonchess game from (if I recall correctly) Dragon magazine issue #100, though it was mostly flimsy pieces of cardboard that I colored in.

Happy New Year, readers.

My wife sets reading goals on both a monthly and an annual basis, her goals focus around both content and quantity. Me, I just grab stuff that looks interesting, and I read in the evening when I'm not otherwise occupied.

I've been on a bit of a manga / manhwa kick lately. I've gone through all the existing English-translated volumes of The Eminence in Shadow, Solo Leveling, and the first 5 of Dandadan (with the rest of the way). For novels, I'm kinda on a old-school / classic kick. Just finished 3001: The...
