If you keep reading or saying the game's title as "Minecraft Town", you're not alone. We found that it's a common mistake to make. Be forewarned that this game has nothing to do with Minecraft. I forgot to take a decent shot of the front of the Minecart Town box, but I did take a side shot:…
Last night we played Roll Player again. This time it was with two expansions: Monsters & Minions, and Fiends & Familiars. Our verdict: Roll Player is a fun game on its own, The expansions add somewhat to the game (the Monsters & Minions expansion is the better of the two), but they also make game setup take…
In April 2025, Larian Studios released Patch 8 for Baldur's Gate 3. The two biggest changes introduced by the patch were: Cross-play - This means that it was now possible to have multi-player games in which some gamers were on desktop computers and others were on consoles. Previously, multi-player games were restricted to just one of those…
TL;DR: I never should have purchased this game. Warning As I type these words, I'm filled with "gamer's rage." If you're not a video gamer, you may not understand this. If you are, you're familiar with the feeling: The one that makes you pray that a game's designers suffer from spontaneous castration due to various unrelated causes.…
This is part 5 in a series of 5 posts. Start from the first one if you want this post to make sense. Bear in mind that I’m Wiccan. When I talk about the Wicked Witch Sandalwood, it's just a story. This is not a SPOILER ALERT! Sandalwood asked me not to issue any spoiler warnings. She…
This is part 4 in a series of 5 posts. You want to start with the first one. It's important to note that Sandalwood the Witch is fictional. I'm Wiccan. The faux narrative tone I assume is part of the character, and does not represent me. Traitors I mentioned in an earlier post that the coven had…
This is part 3 in a series of 5 posts. I strongly advise you to start from the first one. In particular, I'm Wiccan. Sandalwood is a fictional character. She does not represent my personal views. Scratch Scratch was fine. Of course Scratch is a good boy, but why do I mention this here? We'll learn the…
This is part 2 in a series of 5 posts. Please read the posts in order, starting from the first one. In particular, note that I am Wiccan. I'm describing a character, not my personal views. Others What about any other potential companions? Wyll I knew that Wyll would object to Sandalwood's long-term plans and leave the…
I am Wiccan. I know the "Evil Witches Coven" meme is a result of marketing and sensationalism, not reality. For my thirteenth playthrough, I chose to lean into superstition and stereotype. Please bear that in mind as the narrative capers and prances in its description of Sandalwood's actions. Another note: While I avoid overt spoilers, these posts…
On Friday nights I game with my friends J, A, and M. They're a group of people who are kind enough to do a COVID test before we meet up. You know the quality of your friends if they're willing to stick a cotton swab up their noses for you! When I was still on FB, I'd…
