Dec 6, 2020Review: False Gods (Horus Heresy)Disclaimer: I know almost nothing about Warhammer 40k other than what I have seen at cons and peeking in the windows of Games Workshop stores. Here’s me learning. Heading into Book 2 of the Horus Heresy series. Book 1 (my review here) had Horus Rising. This one promised more “grim…Tabletop Gaming5 min read
Dec 6, 2020Review: Horus Rising (Horus Heresy)Disclaimer: I know almost nothing about Warhammer 40k other than what I have seen at cons and peeking in the windows of Games Workshop stores. Here’s me learning. I’ve been told (by Amazon and by humans) that you should start with the Horus Heresy if you are coming to WH40k…Gaming4 min read

Dec 16, 2018Where’d the blog go?True story: I fell behind in blogging and put off catching up. I still have photos and notes from all of our Gloomhaven play sessions though. We beat the main quest without too much trouble. Those posts may show up here in the near future. In the meantime, I hope you’ll indulge us posting some of our playthrough of Pandemic Legacy, Season 2. Thanks, y’all! *** Marko & AlanaGames1 min read
Feb 5, 2018The Plane of Elemental Power (Sc. 10)OR: Too Many Flying Creatures with High Armor So we were mucking around in some crypts and came across a portal. Of course, we jump through it! Who wouldn’t? Flow and GREM ended up in a plane of elemental power full of spiky looking demons. OK, NBD. Lots of traps here…Gaming3 min read
Feb 4, 2018The Ruinous Crypt (Sc. 5)OR: GREM Runs Out of Time Apparently crypts lead to more crypts. After clearing out the CRYPT OF THE DAMNED (imagine that in a spooky voice, please), it was suggested that Flow and GREM could either become buddies with the crazy cultists or foil their evil plans. With a heavy sigh and maybe an eye roll…Gaming3 min read
Feb 3, 2018The Crypt of the Damned (Sc. 4) — Attempt 2OR: Hookgunning Your Way to Success Things didn’t go well for us on our last attempt at the Crypt of the Damned. We burned through cards too fast. We took too much damage. We didn’t finish off enemies. It was a mess. This time, everything was different. Instead of going for flashy attacks, I had GREM…Gaming2 min read
Feb 3, 2018The Crypt of the Damned (Sc. 4)OR: Skeletons Suck I’m not going to lie. We were feeling pretty hot after one-shotting the Burning Mountain. We were playing on Hard difficulty now and still cracking demon skulls. How hard could clearing a crypt be? You remember these guys? This is the first room of Crypt of the Damned, and I…Gaming3 min read
Feb 1, 2018The Burning Mountain (Sc. 82)OR: Alana Gets Bored in a Volcano We had just finished leveling up in town. GREM purchased a new bow that lets him ignore armor on one attack. Alana had Flow make a donation to the Sanctuary of the Great Oak (add two Blessings to your deck for the next dungeon). …Gaming4 min read
Jan 31, 2018Thoughts on… The Tinkerer @ Level 2Instead of a scenario playthrough, I’m posting some early thoughts on the Tinkerer class now that GREM has hit level 2. The Tinkerer, as a class, is hard to disentangle from the Quatryl image that represents it. Ostensibly, Tinkerers could come in any form. They’re simply a type of character…Board Games5 min read
