My very first gaming blog

So I’ve decided to try out this whole blogging thing and I figure I need to set it up with some kind of theme or I’m never going to do it regularly enough.  So I’m going to talk about games.  But here’s the catch – not video games.  As a gamer, I enjoy all kinds of games – video games, board games, card games, role-playing games, really just about anything that is designed well or has a cool theme.  So, I’ve decided to let Tank, J-Cat and the rest cover the video game beat.  I’ll put my $0.02 in on other types of games. 

For those of you who don’t know, Wizards of the Coast (WotC) released a new version of the classic role-playing  game Dungeons & Dragons last Saturday.  I’m going to start out my blog with a series on D&D and the fourth edition.  Check back in the coming days and weeks for articles cover topics like: Reviews of the Core Rule books,  Is 4e really a WoW rip-off? What makes 4e fun (or not so fun)?  A primer on my 4e campaign, A n00b’s guide to character creation, and more.  When the D&D well starts to run dry, look for my reviews on various board and card games.  I’m looking forward to sharing my thoughts and hearing your feedback.

I have not played in 25 years but I would love the opportunity to play online in a pen and paper campaign.

Love me some board games. Ticket to Ride Carcassonne Mr. Jack (great 2 player game) De Medici and Strazzi (played this one with the wife...basic economics at its finest in this 2 player game) Those are my favorites. I would love to see them get some love :)

Great blog idea. Two of my favorite easy pocket games are LCR and Farkle. Nice 20 sided die!!! A friend of mine had one like that. It weighed like a pound and almost broke a card table when he rolled it.

Welcome! I am really looking forward to your review of 4th ed. I have played D&D since I was 8 years old. As a DM myself I have been hoping to hear a unbiased review of the new sourcebooks to see if it would be to my liking.
