Serendib Games

Goal: condense all the games we have to one bookshelf + 4 cabinet shelves. I spent an hour this morning doing a long-overdue game winnow; I’ll be bringing the ones spread out on the table to the swap! I encourage local folks to take some time to winnow this week, and post here (or even […]

I decided to try giving Anand Warhammer for Christmas — the hope was that we’d be able to get him off devices for at least some of this trip, and there’s a Warhammer store in downtown Los Gatos that seduced me when I was doing last-minute shopping. Getting him off devices for a while worked,

OPALGA October potluck; I was very tired, but it was nice to stop by for a hour, eat some good food, and chat with queer friends and allies; always rejuvenating, being in that space. Favorite dish was the hot cheese, artichoke, jalapeño dip — I went back for seconds, even though I was full…

I didn’t take any photos during gaming on Sunday, but here’s a photo of some of the snacks. Snacks are very important for gaming. A few old friends came by, and we made a new friend, who has kids the same age as mine and who like video games, so they were cheerfully ensconced with

Last bit of WisCon was playing a final game of Terraforming Mars with Benjamin, after we drove back to my house on Monday. I taught him the colonies expansion, and even though it was his first time playing with them, he came very close to beating me — the final score had me ahead by
