One of the panels I did at WindyCon was for board games that are fast, easy, and cheap (under $30). I thought y’all might like the list for holiday gifting, or just for presents to yourself. Lanterns is the only one one here that’s a little over $30, but it often goes on sale. These […]

I admit, I barely had enough energy to do this (stupid cold — I’m recovering, but I still have to take it pretty easy on physical activity, or I get shaky and have to go lie down for a while), but I did manage to run a 13th birthday D&D game for Anand, Kavi, and

Still sick with a cold, but clearly no longer exhausted, as I had plenty of energy to make brunch for the family, AND send two e-mails I’d been avoiding afterwards. Yay, me. Plan for today — keep going on clothing sort; I’m down to workout clothes at this point, so almost done. I have a
Game night last night was fun! It is very good for me to do this once a month — for five hours, I laughed a lot, and didn’t think about work at all, which is very good for me. Taught people Lanterns, which is a great quick game, 30 minutes, easy to play with ages
In my quest for more fun, I did impromptu birthday week board gaming last night — posted in the local women’s FB gaming group, and two women were free on short notice to join. So Mary came over and I taught her Lanterns, which is a fun quick game, easy to teach, and then she

Here’s a gorgeous object that arrived in the mail — the new D&D manual, Journeys through the Radiant Citadel, written by a host of POC writers. Classic D&D has a history of…challenges, let’s say?…in its depictions of people of color. This project, helmed by Ajit George, aims to give D&D players some wonderful diverse worlds

I feel like this is the first time I’ve started to feel barely ‘normal’ since the pandemic started. And it really is just barely — it was oddly stressful to just put together a party invite and send it out. What a long haul this is. Local friends who have gotten potluck / board game
Local friends, we’re thinking that after the semester ends (early May), we’re going to bring back our weekly potluck and board games. I’ve missed socializing so much — we had such a great time at the party yesterday. Waffling a little about whether to do it on Saturday or Sunday afternoons over the summer, so

Heh. I tried to play Codenames (for the SLF’s game night) and cook chicken curry at the same time, and I burned the onions a little and also contacted one of the enemy’s spies by mistake. Maybe I’m not as good at multitasking as I thought! Sorry, Spymaster Emmanuel!

We were at Robey Hotel from about noon to 5 — we’d brought along a few board games, and I ended up teaching Kevin Wingspan. I’ve been wanting to play more board games with the family, and if he can play too, that’ll make it easier to persuade the kids to come and play with
