March Wrap-Up

Hey all, Sam here. Well...March was not nearly as good of a reading month as January or February. While I read 20 books in January and 16 in February, I only managed 8 books in the month of March. And okay, that's still a pretty good amount of books, especially for the average person. I'm… Continue reading March Wrap-Up

NetGalley Review: Table Titans Club by Scott Kurtz

Hey all, Sam here. It honestly feels a little weird to be posting a Tabletop related post on a day that isn't Tuesday...but considering I have two Tabletop-centric books to talk about this week, I guess we're having this one as a Middle Grade Monday post instead. I have definitely been in a tabletop mood… Continue reading NetGalley Review: Table Titans Club by Scott Kurtz

2023 Book Haul Sept-Dec

Hey all, Sam here. So yeah, this post is about three weeks later than I had wanted to release it, but I mentioned before that the beginning of the month threw us a couple curve balls. We have actually been without hot water at our house for two weeks now, which has been frustrating, but… Continue reading 2023 Book Haul Sept-Dec

Top Twenty Reads of 2023

Hey all, Sam here. It feels like I'm a little behind schedule with this post, but I promise that I'm not. Usually in the last week or two of a year, I see so many posts and videos and reels where bookternet folks are posting their top ten reads of the year...and sure, there's nothing… Continue reading Top Twenty Reads of 2023

Goals for 2024

Hey all, Sam here. Usually when it comes time for a new year, a lot of people start making New Year's Resolutions...and some even manage to stick to them. Overall though, I tend to see so many of those resolutions get dropped early on in the year...which is why I prefer to set goals for… Continue reading Goals for 2024

WIP Wednesday – Aug 9

Hey all, Sam and David here again today. After the lengthy post from yesterday, I think we're going to try our best to keep today's post a little more short and sweet...because obviously most of the past week has been spent at Gen Con. Basically we'll be covering anything that happened last Wednesday after we… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – Aug 9

Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con Wrap Up

Hey all, Sam and David here. Okay, this might end up being a bit long. Well, at least it's certainly going to be a whole bunch of photos, so I don't think we're going to take too long with the intro section. We've tried for the most part to divide things up day by day… Continue reading Tabletop Tuesday: Gen Con Wrap Up

July Wrap Up

Hey all, Sam here. It's my birthday!! I'll be working today, but tomorrow after work, David and I will be heading to Gen Con, so that's like my birthday present to myself: four days of tabletop games and geeking out with other awesome people. I look forward to this every single year. But first, let's… Continue reading July Wrap Up

WIP Wednesday – July 26

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. It has been another fulfilling week for us here at Free State of Geek. While we sometimes feel like we don't have all that productive of a week, that's just because to us it does seem a little slow...but in reality we're still doing a lot of… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – July 26

WIP Wednesday – July 19

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. In just two more weeks we will be on our way to Gen Con. Oh my goodness, we're starting to get really excited about that. It'll be nice to indulge our tabletop game loving sides, because we haven't been able to do that as much this year.… Continue reading WIP Wednesday – July 19
