Roll of the Dice: Wits & Wagers

I think I can safely assume we have all played Trivial Pursuit or some other trivia game with the person who is a trivia nut. The person who dominates the game because they have a head full of useless facts. I am one of those guys. I love trivia games. Not everyone likes to play [...]

Roll of the Dice: Redneck Life

Sometimes in life you just need to laugh.  A good belly laugh will put a smile on the face of everyone in the room.  That laugh can become contagious.  It can have a snowball effect.  Before you know it everyone is bustin’ a gut.  Look back with me to the year 2006.  Gut Bustin’ Games [...]

Why Do I Go to Gen Con?

I love going to Gen Con.  Each year about late July I start requesting days off from work in order to attend Gen Con on Saturday and Sunday.  In my old place of business, there were a lot of gamers.  When they heard that I was going to Gen Con, they would ask what games [...]

John’s Gen Con Experience – Day 1

My adventure started at 3:48 on Thursday morning. I awoke to the beeping of my cell phone indicating a text message from Victor. Having only gone to sleep three hours earlier, I stumbled into my kitchen and made breakfast. A half hour later I was in my car. After a three and a half hour [...]

Benton’s Gen Con Experience – Day 1

The first day of Gen Con is always a wild trip, and this year was no exception.

Firstly, we left at 6am. Now, I usually go to bed about 6am, so this was sort of a question of ‘do I sleep or not?’ I chose ‘no sleep,’ which was probably not a good thing. Darin drove, [...]
