In October 2017 I played more games than ever before since I started recording my plays several years ago. Much of this was due to my attendance of SHUX in Vancouver, Canada. But, I had a game night every week and we played a LOT of games at work.
It's now November, which means it's time to really start thinking about cool and fun gifts for your friends. Whether it's Christmas or Hannukah or Kwanza, you should get them something fun.
In addition to growing mustaches, ostensibly for charity, many folks dedicate November to writing a novel or designing a game. I think it's easy to be all for it, or poo poo it, for a variety of reasons.
I continue to be suspended from Twitter with no information or end in sight. Fantastic. I had a great weekend and wanted to cover a few quick topics today.How 'bout them Astros: This was a rough baseball season.
Another day, still suspended from Twitter. I have a few fun topics today, so let's dive in!Hippodice: Back in late September I submitted my light-euro design to the prestigious Hippodice competition.
Final Final: Last night was a pretty big deal for me at work. We declared Final for The Sims 4 Cats & Dogs, which is a project some of us have been working on for years. Typically an expansion is about one year, but Cats & Dogs requires a fundamental overhaul of our engine to allow for quadripedal movement (among other things) and it's a really long haul.
I didn't write a journal last night as Antonio came over for game night. Therefore, this morning I want to write about...game night!Stratego: On a strange whim after the night's main attractions, we went downstairs to grab Stratego.
Day two without Twitter, day two of these journals. I've actually been thinking about this and looking forward to it all day, so maybe that's a sign it's worth doing? A few short topics today.
I was inexplicably suspended from Twitter today around noon. I have no clue why - the site doesn't notify me. I filed an appeal and I hope this is resolved in the near future. And if it isn't, it's probably healthier for me to not be on Twitter.
The best authors of any medium have a distinct style. One of the pleasures of being a more veteran player of tabletop games is appreciating the styles of my favorite designers. One of my favorites is Uwe Rosenberg.
