Yggdrasil Magazine. Away We Go!

Last night I launched a crowdfunding effort to bring to life a quarterly gaming magazine called Yggdrasil. I am filled with excitement, and a bit of dread.

So, par of the course for every creative person that I have ever met.

As often happens around the holidays, my kids get the LOTR Fever.

Journey into Almost Something

Two weekends ago, a friend of mine and I decided to finally take Journey into Middle Earth for a spin. He isn’t into table top games, but is willing to give it a go.

We had fun, but if I had to do it all over again, I would have picked something else.
