Being sick sucks on such a level as an adult. Things to to and my sinus says “No I think I’ll make your body stop working “ 🤧

Dunkin Vanilla Cream Donuts Go Missing While traveling to PAX Unplugged I met and interviewed the chief creative of 9th Level Games Chris O’Neal. In these situations, I now always ask what a persons favorite donut is. Chris, much to my agreement, chose the white cream donuts from Dunkin. That moment unleashed a mystery in my mind: when is the last time I have seen a Vanilla Cream at Dunkin?

This third Rian Johnson film of Wake Up Dead Man is a gem. I felt like I knew where it was going but still kept some twisting as the end arrived. The lighting design was immaculate, and Father Judd is a good representation of my faith as well as where the story overall takes it. I strongly recommend

Writing and Time I may have too many things going. The scene around me is surreal. The house is filled with boxes from clearance hauls and Christmas prep. Games are strewn everywhere—from convention finds to review copies. Dishes are piled up, and the cats are running amuck. In moments like this, time feels like a distant concept. I’ve talked at length about how hard it is to find time to do anything.

Tilt N Shout Game Review Tilting and Shouting Some games have movement that just speaks to you. You see someone tilting pieces around or the game shifting on its own, and suddenly you’re hooked by the motion alone. Tilt N Shout did exactly that—both for me and my kids, separately, which honestly says something. When we all have the same “Okay, that looks cool” reaction, you know the game is doing something right.

...and with a blink of an eye PAX Unplugged 2025 is over. I'm glad I got to go but didn't get to spend a lot of time this year. I'm going to change that going forward. #pax #paxunplugged #boardgames #tsbletopgaming

the programme for day 3 of the Andrea's Adventurers charity stream, starting November 9 at 8.30 am pacific time 8.30 am pacific - welcome, opening, territory acknowledgement, info 9:00 AM PST | D&D 5e | GM Owen Infiltrate Lord Flay’s grand melee in the Kingdom of K’chen to represent your sponsor, The Lord Ram‑Say. Duel challengers, manage a food truck mid-battle, and vie for the esteemed Mich’s Star and elusive Child’s Knife—symbols of your culinary and combat prowess 1:00 PM PST | Oops! All Divas | GM James You play larger than life personas: musicians, actors, visionaries, and so forth. When that multi-platinum artist says she's going to boil the oceans, people take the threat as credible, and within her power. What happens when these (sometimes literal) titans of industry need to band together to face a threat previously unseen in the industry? It's certain at least one of them is gonna be in the tabloids tomorrow....

5:00 PM PST | D&D 5e | GM Pixie A tear filled plea from a heartbroken child can soften even the most hardened of adventurers. That's why you're out in these familiar woods past midnight on an eerie, full-moon night calling out for little lost "Fluffy". It's quick good deed which will leave you plenty of time to have a hot mug of strong mulled wine together at the pub before bed - or it should, but as a tinkling laughter echoes out from the darkness, and a thick sweet scent fills the air, it's quickly becoming apparent that all is not quite right in the forest tonight. 9:00 PM PST | THANK YOU! Join us as we wrap up the weekend and check our final fundraising total - stream and auction! There will be tears.

It's day 3! At 8.30 am PST, join us at twitch.tv/plaiddogevents for an the last day of this full weekend of TTRPGs and charity fundraising for Andrea's Adventurers!

feat.

The Donuts That Raised Me How sweet mornings with my grandparents shaped my love for comfort food and connection. I have fond memories of eating donuts. That might sound like a silly statement, and I’m sure others haven’t put as much stock into the times they’ve snacked on sweet treats. But I’ve had so many donuts, in so many places, that most of them blur together.

A 1000 Islands Mini-moon A wonderful wedding getaway. There was a big question in the air about what we’d do the weekend after our wedding. We had the kids set with their own plans, but Jocelyn and I waited until the last minute to decide where we were going. It was Labor Day weekend, so prices were steep, and that added a little apprehension. Still, we knew we wanted time together, just the two of us.

Capybara Crush Board Game Review: Smiles, Strategy, and Snuggly Packaging Capybaras Get Their Heads in the Game Capybaras have been living rent-free in our heads lately. The zeitgeist is strong—you see them in games, posters, and funny videos. I’ve never been the type to hold strong opinions about them, but their simple cuteness is undeniable. That charm serves them well, especially as the foundation for a game. Capybara Crush, designed by Dylan Coyle, fits right into the aesthetic of the Charming Games Collective.

Joy of a Simple Wedding Our Wedding With Simple Love My partner and I are easily entertained. Over the past few years together, we’ve learned that the simple things make us happiest. Since we’ve both been married before—and we each have kids—we knew we didn’t need a grand production this time around. What we wanted was a celebration: something warm, genuine, and full of the people we love.

Reframing the Game Do you see wetlands, a building or more? There are so many tropes about how we see the world. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. The grass is always greener. Is your glass half empty or half full? I usually land on the half-full side. I like to be positive and look for the brightness in things. That perspective guides much of my life, but as I grow personally and professionally, I’ve realized how important it is to think outside that single frame.

I’m Kind of a Big Dill Game Review I’m not Gherkin your chain. Have you ever embellished something? Was the fish longer in your story than it was in real life? Does your dating profile talk a bit more about your passion for reading than may be true? Is your age dependent on the day? This may be exactly the right game for you. We first came across this game earlier in the year by Left Justified Studio.

Is Glazed the Universal Donut? Read and Tell Me The Joke While traveling last week, a friend brought up that they judge donut shops based on a glazed donut . They get that variety of donut wherever they go, and use that as their baseline looking at places. It is not my methodology, but it does bring up a great point to think about; could a glaze donut be the universal measure?

Rebel Princess Game Review Princesses with Power My experience with Rebel Princess goes right along with my experience with princesses. I find myself dazzled a bit every time I get a chance to see them, but you can’t marry someone you just met. This game is quite different because I’m happy to get it out to play anytime. Let’s start with the gameplay itself. Trick is all the rage but this game layers strategy around whether or not you want to take the trick or influence somebody else on it.

I for years was the kid who struggled making deep friendships. I was always a kid who was on the fringe, wanting to be friends with everyone, but not best friends with anyone.

There’s no basis of comparison without actually saying that you’re comparing things on a scale that makes sense. In the video format that is not easy. There is no simple system to show what you are thinking about games comparatively based on the software or the display models within the videos.
