A look back at January →
It’s been a pretty weird month. I look back at my ‘activity’ online (airquotes entirely justified) and things look pretty meager, but if I turn my focus to the stuff that didn’t make it up here, it…

What not-game am I not-playing, here? →
Yesterday I was pondering a couple of recent gaming purchases I’ve made. Annalise. Diaspora. 3:16. Trail of Cthulu. Like that, you know: table top roleplaying games.
