I play games. I read about games. I watch videos concerning games. I have many thoughts regarding games. I enjoy wargames, roleplaying games, board games, video games and sometimes card games. In short, games good!

Imagine a year ago. Two fellas, playing 40k in a game room. Little interest in the plastic conflict at hand but the beer fridge beckons. “Yeah, I’ll roll those 5+ saves. And they’re all dead. Anyone else want another beer? Wake me up when it’s my turn.” Trying to come up with the most epic of stories to … More The Gaming Grind (and how to avoid it)
