Life Ramblings. By Me. For Me. But You're Welcome to Follow Along.
Alright alright alright... The Foretold: Rise of a God entry took a bit out of me. Oddly it wasn't the length of the post, attempting to summarize a game with so many features, but the time it took getting my pictures to have some semblance of quality. It was incredibly frustrating!
Today, though, we leave that slightly more complex realm for the greener pastures of simplicity. Or bluer waters? Just be careful you don't...
Our next game is one I had the privilege of not only supporting on Kickstarter, but playtesting as well. That was an exciting aspect for me, though I didn't get to playtest as much as I had hoped to — definitely not due to the lack of attempting to get my hands on a prototype! While it's not overly complicated, this game has a lot going on.
We will see how brief I can be for the overview of...
"E" was another tough one for me. I, once again, had a few options — Elder Sign and Eldritch Horror — but one I've never played (though I own it...) and the other I only played the last half of one game for someone who had to leave. Eldritch Horror was fun, from what I played, but I don't feel I know enough about it. Even for a light overview.
This may be viewed as a "cheat" post, but it is what it is. When I wrote about Cards Against Humanity a few days ago, though, I mentioned it possibly having an app, which reminded me of a CAH knockoff app available for both iOS and Android platforms. Time to shift away from the family friendliness of Dixit and once again delve into the realm of sick, twisted depravity...
Well, today has been a real shitstorm on multiple fronts. Hopefully I get this in before Midnight, or I will be using one of my infamous "Coming Soon" placeholders. While today I could likely write a novel about my experiences with Diabetes, that wouldn't make for a very fun game.
So instead, let's down shift from the last post's adult theme and kick it into family friendly territory again, shall we?
For the past few days I've been worried about what I would write about when it came to the Letter C. I have a handful of games like Caribbean and Cyrano, but I haven't played either of them.
Then I remembered a party game and berated myself for not thinking of it to begin with. This is a short and sweet entry as we take a quick look at the "Adult" version of Apples to Apples...

This year's A to Z Challenge is over, but how did I fare with another attempt at producing Flash Fiction and Poetry throughout it all? Did I run into the same complications as last year?
Join me as I reflect on the challenge and the thoughts about my continued participation on Dreams in the Shade of Ink.
Dreams in the Shade of Ink is back with more Flash Fiction for the A to Z Challenge 2017! Last year my segments throughout April painted a puzzled tapestry of prose and I hope to provide some new, entertaining stories that you'll enjoy!
Come share in my inky dreams full of fiction, sprinkled with poetry!
The A to Z Challenge 2017 is over and it's time to reflect on how the event went! There were booster pack openings, there were storylines and mechanics to observe within the world of Magic: The Gathering!
Join me as I discuss the ups and downs of this year's Magic Mixer theme.
This year for the A to Z Challenge 2017 Meta MTG presents the Magic Mixer! What's that mean? Your guess is as good as mine... What I do know, however, is that this year's theme is obviously still all about Magic: The Gathering!
Join me as I attempt to highlight a different Magic set each day of the challenge in different ways, from pack openings to discussions about a set's storyline and/or mechanics!

It’s been a long while. I briefly discuss some of this year’s shortcomings, and in doing so, find it’s just more of the same.
Then I attempt to give a more positive spin…
Extra Life Game Day 2021 has arrived! It’s Year 8 for myself and I am looking forward to once again raise money for Gillette Children’s Specialty Healthcare. Team Cryton Crusaders is ready (kind of) for the annual fundraising event involving a 24-Hour Gaming Marathon! I kept last year’s fun, but likely impossible Milestone to reach!
Learn more about the challenge where my team and I play games and heal kids!
