Monopoly’s most hated rule is the best one.

July 27, 2011

There’s a rule that most Monopoly players don’t know about, which we remember a cousin telling us about when we were but a wee lad.

Ideas for the World of Darkness MMOG.

October 1, 2010

We got rid of our World of Darkness (WoD) books a couple years ago; we stopped playing games in the WoD setting years before, and while we held onto our WoD library for sentimental reasons, the success of the revised (new) WoD pretty much made our library deprecated anyway.

We’ve long complained about toting our 17″ MacBook Pro around when we travel. The purchase was solid when we wanted a top-performing mobile Mac for gaming, with the occasional trip requiring relative transportability. Since we’re traveling more and gaming less these days, the bulk of lapzilla has caused us to look for a replacement, and [...]
