New summoning rituals just dropped…
How to find me at PAX:
1. Come to my booth, 3958. I'll be there pretty much all vendor hours.
2. Challenge me to a NOVA skirmish or card game. Or summon me for a GILA or Dragon Slayers session.

Do we follow each other on here and want to meet up at PAXU?
No promises, but we can try! I made a Google Form to try to form order from chaos (i.e. clicking available times).
DM me for the link.

One does not simply make a Top 10 Board Games list.
Updating BG Stats, adding ratings for BGG, double checking what I played on BGA. Pondering how much "ease of getting it to the table" factors in to decisions. Adjusting for recency effects. Considering setup time and teach time.
