This past weekend was the Dallas Comic Con, which I attended on Saturday. While there, I got glimpses of Patrick Stewart and Stan Lee, and braved the sea of people to explore the expo hall. I saw an excellent Harley Quinn win the comics category in the costume contest, and perused some wares.

Games
So, yeah. Some stuff happened. I still don’t really feel like writing about it here. Got a game called 7 Wonders recently, and I’m looking forward to playing it. Needs at least three players, so we have to wait until tomorrow. It’s a card-drafting civilization-building game. Seems like it will be really fun.
Treatise on Consumerism Or: The Joys of Getting New Shit in the Mail
Last week my pre-ordered copy of Wrath of Ashardalon came in. I haven’t had an opportunity to play it, and don’t know when I will, but on seeing that the “CRDB“ is now defunct, I decided to channel my excitement into a form which others can see and benefit from. I spent a lot of the [...]

category bug, again
I’m starting to get really annoyed with this stupid bug that sporadically pops up on this site. I don’t can’t figure out if it’s a problem with something like the version of the database it’s using, or WordPress itself (which I doubt since I haven’t seen any reports of anyone else having the problem), or [...]
a new side project
Since last Tuesday I’ve been working on designing a boardgame. Haven’t come up with a codename for the project yet, but I’m excited about it. I think it is the first side project I will complete (as progress on the design is going so well… I am hoping to have it playable by next week), [...]
