The Gamer Hotsheet in 2009
It’s hard to believe it’s January again, but I have to admit a certain amount of relief in having 2008 behind me. In March 2008, I had two surgeries back-to-back to correct 3 different problems. On September 11, my mother passed away after a two-year battle with cancer. A week after her funeral, I was [...]
Fantasy Flight Games’ “Battlestar Galactica”
This article starts with an admission… I never got close enough to this game to actually play it. This game was so darned popular at Gen Con Indy 2008 that I simply couldn’t find a time when a seat was available to sit down and get a demo. The tables were full any time Fantasy [...]

The World of Warcraft MMORPG and Me
Lately, I’ve been trying to check out the various MMORPGs out there. In part, I’m trying to find one that delivers the combination of features I like (including PvP by consent only, a decent crafting system, good market for player-crafted items, lots of content) and the right amount of challenge.
