Posted by It is known that time changes a person. You live, you learn, you fall in and out of love. This is certainly the case with me and gaming. My first game with a complexity beyond Chutes and Ladders or Trouble was my Mom’s copy of The Royal Game of Ur, with my Uncle (a former stringer for the game company SPI) introducing me to my first hex-and-counter games at the tender age of 15. My first RPG was the original ‘Red Box’ version of Dungeons & Dragons.
This blog is a chronicle of time. Both my past (raw nostalgia), the present (what I’m doing now), and the future (what I’d like to do). I hope to share with everyone what I’ve seen and learned, as well as my progress in trying to learn new tricks. Or, at least, new games and new ideas.
It is very easy for older folks like myself, born in 1970, to become calcified; refusing to adapt and learn. I do not want to be a ‘Grognard’ or Gatekeeper. I want to keep doing new things all the way to the end.
