My Podcast Weblog

In which I describe two audio resources for helping to set the mood in tabletop roleplaying games.

In which I describe the game Caverna: The Cave Farmers, offerring an overview of game play, and rank it according to various criteria, and give my thoughts on the game.

In which I discuss games like T.I.M.E. Stories and others that have low replay value.

In which I make a resolution to play 80 or more of the games on the Board Game Geek's top 100 list.

This is a poem I wrote inspired by Lewis Carroll's 'Jabberwocky.' Just as he wrote that poem using loads of made-up words (several of which, I'd like to point out, have come to be actual words found in dictionaries), I set out to write a poem using made-up words.

Another story inspired by words given to me by friends. The words they gave me were: Juvenescent, Incandescent, Narcolepsy, Russian roulette, Amaranth, Libidinous, Vivid, Callipygian, Wynn, Pilcrow, and Patripotestal.

A short story I wrote a few years ago. I had asked some friend to give me a few words, and I would write a story inspired by them. The words they gave me were eyot (a small island), lagomorph (a rabbit or hare), timbre (the specific sound created by a singer or instrument), and lugubrious (mournful, dismal, or gloomy).

The first entry in this show is a short story I wrote a couple of years ago called 'Inge.' I hope you enjoy it.
