Con of the North 2014, part 8: Reflections

Posted on 2014 March 14 by njwMarch 14, 2014

As always, Con of the North is one of the best weekends of gaming for me. I don’t know how many people attend it, though I suspect the number is in the 500-1000 range. There are bigger cons in the … Continue reading →

Places: A forest mound

Posted on 2013 October 20 by njwNovember 29, 2013

The adventurers come across an uncanny mound in the forest. It sits next to the barely-worn deer path. Its shape suggests an artificial origin, but it has no stones or other markers nearby. It sits on higher ground, overlooking a … Continue reading →

Another new FLGS: Mead Hall

Posted on 2013 August 30 by njwAugust 31, 2013

Minneapolis is kind of an amazing place. I’ve lived in other towns and been happy to find that there was a gaming scene at all. I’ve lived in places where the nearest FLGS wasn’t very L at all, often being … Continue reading →

Minicon and the Minneapolis Dungeon

Posted on 2013 April 3 by njwAugust 16, 2013

The “Minneapolis Ties to Gaming” panel that I mentioned before went pretty well. We went through local gaming history pretty much chronologically, starting with boardgames published in the area nearly 100 years ago and ending with the potential future of … Continue reading →
