Slight hiatus – gone Viking

Bygamingballistic

Monster Monday will return, but today and tomorrow I’m on a short break. The head of Hurstwic, Viking combat and history experts are here on hand for seminars and lectures about Viking combat, mythology, religious practices, and Icelandic culture. Also Viking magic, which is a lot deeper than I first thought.

Great fodder for Dragon Heresy, but great practice as well. I did combat archery with foam tips today, too – a 20-lb. bow with one archer and three spearmen per side. It was ridiculous, ridiculous fun. More later. Possibly pictures.

Nightmare Fuel Surveys Live on Backerkit! (Pre-orders Tuesday)

Bygamingballistic

Backer Surveys The smoke test went very well, and with 85% of participants reporting no issues, I pushed out the full Backerkit survey to the remaining backers. (The other 15% haven’t responded yet. It wasn’t 15% report issues. That would not be something that made me say “woo hoo, let’s do them all!) In any…

A Fine Night Unlike playing the Pandemic boardgame (which is fun, as opposed to playing the pandemic home game, which is horrible), where “One Quiet Night” is a good card to play…we had a very active night, and jumped up several thousand dollars. That means in the first 24 hours we crushed through 50% funding….
