I’m wandering deeper and deeper into the haunted chambers of the heart with Good Luck Press’ Dwelling solo journaling RPG.

First time on Board Game Arena, I get hooked on Faraway and Race for the Galaxy. Also, a moonlit debauch in Starkville.

My first three tries running this slick gamification of Pavlov’s House, one of Stalingrad’s most legendary tooth-and-nail standoffs.

I review Hadrian’s Wall, where Rome — in all its cupidity, muscle, and rot — comes alive under your Sharpie.

The acrid tang of sweat on a space station, a whiff of Jack Daniel’s Sinatra Select, and why D&D and rap go together.

It was like being inside a warm cardboard computer, hands and mind humming in tune with the circuitry.

A chat with Brian Reynolds about learning and loving bridge, cocktails at my favorite Trinidad spot, and comparing two mixes of MC Lyte’s “Ruffneck.”

Cinnamon whiskey and hot chonklit vs. the cold. Introspection vs. depression. WWII vs. boredom. Sadat X vs. your boring playlist.

2024’s 10 most memorable board gaming scenes, a cocktail recoo from our Chief Mixologist, and a Craig Mack track.

Thanksgiving ‘24: An admonishment to the tenebrous heart that spends too much time counting its wounds. Also, board games.

We reconsider Thunderbolt Apache Leader, Final Girl: Madness in the Dark, Wingspan and StarWars: Outer Rim with four pints of the dark stuff.

The board game passions, biases, and peeves that make me the irascible podcaster that I am.

Mix Farmer's Punch, shake with Star Wars Outer Rim, garnish with diss track by Masta Ace.

Vale of Eternity, Wingspan, Cascadia and Cockroach Poker: Boardgaming highlights of Summer 2024.

Milagro and molten steel; the winners of our Boardgames and Debauchery story contest; Miami Bass meets house in ‘88.

My first Bulldog cocktail, my first Final Girl game, and then we ride out with a bunch of Brooklyn mic psychos. Giddyup.

Will Dustrunner steal any table time from Tin Helm? Will somebody bring me more Stampede lager? Will I ever figure out why my output levels died on export despite not having changed a single setting in years, on a Track of the Week segment in which I highlight a J-Live/Jazzy Jeff track that focuses on the importance of craft? It’s goddamn embarrassing.

Battle of the $28 Fifths is decided. Our story contest kicks off. Two hip hop skits I actually like.

Degrading cocktails. Degraded liquors. An old love back on the game table. A newer one back on the speakers.
