I hate January. A lot. I hope to reverse this condition with radical, intensive game-convention therapy in the form of DDXP. And Gamma radiation. GET IT?
Hell Bent For Leather
An epic tale in which my shaman gets a job, but no haircut. In which honor swims around and is delicious when barbecued. In which I learn valuable life lessons that I never use, but become a man anyway. I loved. I learned. I farmed 10 stacks of Heavy Savage Leather while watching Jersey Shore, and wondered what debuffs armor made out of Snooki hide would give the wearer.
Shamanic Puberty
A coming-of-age tale of one man and two berserkers. Of fighting and healing. Of puppies and of elven bones knitting. Of divine power and delicate constitutions. Of character acne. I don’t know what that is, but it definitely underscores the need for good PC hygiene.

Chatty Plays: “Last Night on Earth”

In this type of game there are a variety of different cards on the play field that you “purchase” to place into your deck. Each turn you draw some cards from your deck to make up your hand to do things like buy higher cost items, draw more cards, or perform special actions.

Afraid Of The Dark
Get into the Halloween spirit with this festive post where I relive a bunch of the night terrors I had as a child. Woo! Party (while screaming bloody murder for my parents)!
