This is the last part of Nico’s Quest, an interactive bedtime story game I started with him my 6 year old son Nicolas in the last week. I also just bought a digital recorder to better capture the story and write it later since my blogging schedule is starting to get crowded! Chatty: “So what […]
Done with World of Warcraft Forever
I haven’t played World of Warcraft in several years, since a few months after the game was released. (I played for a while in the open beta before that.) At the time, I had a lot going on in my life, my internet connection wasn’t stable enough to play long term, and all my friends […]

My gaming group usually takes off for the summer. We put our campaign on hiatus because of vacations, family quality time and yard work. While we gamed some (Magic:The Addiction, one shot RPG games, etc) this summer was rather dry. Next Friday is the long awaited start of our new gaming season and both my […]
