Meet my first batch of Frontier Scum characters. Before they get their fool heads blowed clean off.

All these killer kids were super into learning how to play Cockroach Poker on Christmas Eve, so we taught them.

Quit wailing about boring-ass Dungeons and Dragons — check out Frontier Scum. Check out ANYTHING.

Cheladas sound like freedom. King of Tokyo needs more killing. “Bug Powder Dust” slaps when it’s La Funk Mob.

An old cocktail is resurrected, a new cocktail card game is opened, and we listen to some Whodini.

Four ill-advised cocktail/shot recipes. Four missions on space wrecks in Dead Belt. 110 minutes of hip hop, and a poem.

New original cocktail recipe. Fitting a memorial service into a board game day. Thoughts on billy woods’ “Heavy Water.”

Previewing a purchasing storm that left Tiny Library 1, 60 Second Cocktail, Mouse Cheese Cat Cucumber and Castle Poker on my shores.

Friendly locals help me navigate the treacherous caste system and complex terrain of Cytress.

A massive retro JRPG released just before the death of its creator. Also, a bottle of good añejo, some G-funk, and a poem.

Talking with the creator of Cytress, a richly imagined cyberpunk board game.

Repeated injuries will not dissuade me from looking for space junk in a solo RPG.

A moonshine margarita is made and considered. I reflect on how I fell down a rabbit hole by making my own quasi-RPG out of the combat game, Neuroshima Hex. And Whodini’s inside the joint.

Suerte Anejo is good. A surly merfolk learns a new solo dungeon adventure. Then Max and I shut ‘em down.

A fantastic 10-year-old bourbon, a pirate game, Run-D.M.C. and original poetry. This is all I got.

Hot toddies. Norman invasions. People Under the Stairs. That about covers it.

Trying to process grief with a paintbrush and microphone

Someone in Colorado once stole Humpty Hump’s nose and it triggered a meltdown.

Benjamin explains how his group played two simultaneous games of The Resistance: Avalon while drinking.

Drinking Negronis and showing two first-timers the intuitive fun that lies behind Dominion’s thorny exterior.
