Game reviews from an old school board game junkie
Role-playing game reviews
I am a self-diagnosed sci-fi and fantasy dork. Not just within books, movies, and comics but within games. And just not any games, but tabletop GAMES. Role-playing RPG games like Dungeon and Dragons, Star Frontiers, and Flash Gordon. Miniature games like Warhammer, Star Wars, and BattleTech. Even cooperative, deck-building card games, and dice-throwing board games.
Playing these games allows me to encounter various worlds, cultures, and experiences through an evolving story that adapts based on your actions. It’s from this perspective that I review roleplaying games.Do you need a board game reviewed or tested?
Players today look to the board game reviews to gain an understanding of the game before purchase. To learn the basic rules and gain the writer’s perspective. Drop me a note if you would like your board game reviewed?
