Posted on 2015 December 29 by njwDecember 29, 2015

We’ve continued playing Ryuutama the past few sessions. It’s been set on a mountainous island with great rocky cliffs and tiny villages hunkered beneath them, next to a big beautiful ocean. No fair guessing what island inspired this. It’s primarily … Continue reading →

Posted on 2015 December 14 by njwDecember 14, 2015

This video is pretty neat: I have a few quibbles — being focused largely on game designers, being focused largely on Metatopia, tending to have more white cis hetero guys as the video progresses (and potentially implications of that) — … Continue reading →

Ryuutama, first session

Posted on 2015 December 6 by njwDecember 30, 2015

When Ryuutama was being Kickstarted and it was sold as “Miyazaki-style fantasy”, I was pretty much sold right away. Hayao Miyazaki is very possibly my favorite director; Laputa City in the Sky is one of my favorite movies; Valley of … Continue reading →

Posted on 2015 November 25 by njwNovember 25, 2015

Mnstf traditionally has a fallcon, usually in October or so. This was, for a long time, called the fall Minicon, which is part of why Minicon 51 is not actually the 51st anniversary of Minicon. Anyway, most years, there’s a … Continue reading →

Over on her blog, Tanya D has made a plea for enough Patreon to support her. She really needs this. I’ve been on panels with Tanya before and she’s a wonderful person, doing some incredibly valuable work to support diversity … Continue reading →

JOFCon, part 1: Building better cons

Posted on 2015 November 11 by njwNovember 24, 2015

FLGS intro: Witch House

Posted on 2015 October 31 by njwOctober 31, 2015

The other FLGS (after going to two branches of Alchemy) I had to visit in Taiwan was 女巫店 Witch House. It’s not strictly an FLGS, I suppose. They sell games, and they’re plenty friendly. Primarily, though, Witch House is a … Continue reading →
