Mechanics, Theme, and Artistry (Oh My!)

Howdy, readers! We’re back with Week 5 of the Tabletop Writers Diversity Initiative, and the challenge is “to identify a particular cross-section of gaming that excites you – then write about it!” I read and reread the description for this week a bunch, because I couldn’t decide what to write about! I own and play so many games and definitely see trends in what mechanics, genres, themes, and more that I tend to enjoy more or gravitate toward, and I could probably talk about any at length (in fact, pretty sure I have in a few past posts), but it’s hard to choose just one to focus on. After much deliberation, I decided to look at real-time games!


Chart Your Path to Victory!

Welcome back, expert cartographers. The Queen once again needs your assistance as her plans for western expansion come to fruition. You need to put your skills to the test and find the best paths through the varied terrains. Beware, more Dragul forces seek to stop you in your tracks. Luckily, this time, you have our bravest heroes on your side. Go forth and complete the Queen’s edicts. Make her proud and serve Nalos well!


What I Played This Week 9/28 – 10/4

Hello again, friendly gamers! What have you been playing lately? I got in a great week of board games, with a few great newbies! Any of my board gamer friends also enjoying any video games these days? I’ve been a big fan of both for a while now, but have recently been super enjoying Fall Guys (I’m PUMPED for the new season this week) and Among Us (Finally played a game with friends rather than just joining random rooms, and it was a hoot!). What else can y’all recommend?

Happy Gaming – of all kinds!~

Top 13 Spoooooky Games

Greetings, gamers! It’s that time of year again, my very favorite time, Spooky Time! I basically celebrate Halloween all October long (Heck, I start in September if I can), and to honor my favorite holiday through gaming, I put together a list of my favorite spooky/Halloween themed or Halloween appropriate games.

This was actually hard to narrow down, so at the bottom you’ll also find some honorable mentions. Enjoy these all October long, during the 13 Nights of Halloween (if that’s still a thing on whatever ABC Family is called now), or just have a 24-hour gaming marathon on Halloween! Whatever you do, have a fa-boo-lous, spook-tacular Halloween, and happy gaming~


Let’s Play a Caption Game!

Hey friends! It’s time for my next entry in the Tabletop Writers Diversity Initiative with “Challenge Four: Caption This!” The first group of images below were graciously provided by the TWDI for participants to caption. I had a bunch of fun coming up with little comments for these, and encourage you to try as well! I’ve also included an image of my own at the very bottom for you to take a whack at! Have fun, and, as always, Happy Gaming~
