  • Long Books from the Library

    As I was attempting to catch up with my Blaugust feed this week, I came across Axxuy’s post on checking out big books from the library.

    I got an email the other day from Greenheart Games that the demo for their new game, Tavern Keeper, was available. Admittedly, I didn’t actually read the email, just skimmed the subject and kept a mental note to check it out some time. Had I read the email, I would have known this was a…

  • Goals for Blaugust 2024

    While 31 posts in August is not my goal it’s an aspiration and something I might be able to do one of these days. Looking back, my most “successful” Blaugust was in 2022 where I eked out 26 posts. That’s successful in the sense that it was the year with the most posts, but really…
