Origins is just a week away!

With only one week to go, I’m more excited for Origins this year than ever. I already have plans to try some new games at the con, teach lots of games for Mayfair Games and Eagle & Gryphon Games, have some wonderful ice cream at the North Market, and just have a blast gaming with friends for five days. For this year, I believe the Twitter hashtag for the convention is #Origins2012. If you follow me on twitter, you’ll be seeing a lot of updates and probably some pictures as well. I’ll tweet about the games I’m playing, pictures of...

Oh yes, there will be buttons…

It’s been decided that as well as the items made and displayed on the craft page that 1 inch buttons will be made and sold on the Etsy shop once everything is set up. Everything including getting the appropriate tax IDs registered, items made, and pictures taken. Some geeky example ideas so far for the 1 inch buttons: “Keep calm and…” Cthulhu related Pinterest pins with IDs Geek-Craft logos (of course) If you have any ideas for buttons you’d like to see, comment below or shoot me an email.

Off Your Rocker!

Stratus Games is making a new party game about being a little bit crazy, or at least acting like it. In Off Your Rocker, you either play one of the patients with a strange quirk or the psychiatrist trying to figure out what the quirk is. They offered a preview to anyone who would review the game, and since I was already heading to MiniPenCon, I thought it could be a good chance to check the game out. In the game, the psychiatrist leaves the room and the patients look at a card and pick one of the two options on...

Pop Culture Club

Had a small game demo event with the Mayfield Heights High School Pop Culture Club. We did Oz Fluxx since we were in a library, Star Fluxx since there were some sci-fi fans there, and Zendo due to the group that showed. Going to go back and teach other games. If your a local club or group that would like me to come by and teach games, please let me know. I love teaching them and helping introduce people to hobby level gaming.

MiniPenCon

On May 5th and 6th, there’s a mini convention happening in Solon, Ohio. It’s going to be a small get together, 30-40 people, but it’s should be all kinds of fun and a great way to get the gaming convention season kicked off right. I plan on going and taking games to teach and play, and I’ll have some promo stuff to give away for everyone who comes and learns the games I bring along. Details can be found on the Gamers with Jobs forums. Gamers with Jobs is a podcast about video and board gaming in an age where...
