Hey all, Sam here. Okay, the June TBR actually went pretty well.

Mid Year Book Freakout Tag (2023 Edition)
Hey all, Sam here. So...I did this tag in 2017, 2018, and 2019...and then for some reason just skipped it the past couple years. But you know, what, let's bring it back.

Hey all, Sam and David back again today. There's something really calming about having a consistent schedule, at least when it comes to certain things...knowing when your "weekend" is, having a schedule for blogging or reading or writing or whatever.

Tabletop Tuesday: Superfight
Hey all, Sam and David here today.

Hey all, Sam and David here. Okay, so we had purchased the Pathfinder Second Edition Core Rulebook at Gen Con a couple years ago, when it had come out of playtesting and was available in hardcover.

Tabletop Tuesday: Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves Monopoly
Hey all, Sam and David here. Hopefully at this point, you all realize that we are both huge geeks. We own a pretty nicely sized tabletop game collection in our home.
