Less than 50 days to go!

Origins is officially only 49 days away! I know that they don’t have their event schedule up yet, but anyone who’s gone before will know that this isn’t a new thing for them. So who is planning on going? If you’re running something, feel free to talk about it in the comments below. I know that I’ll be running some games for Mayfair Games as well as Eagle & Gryphon Games.

While used for many creative endeavors, the main projects I’ve pledged money towards is boardgames. One of the current games available to Kickstart is Fleet, a game that’s about controlling a fleet of fishing boats.

We’re off to see the Wizard!

Just got my Demo Copy of Oz Fluxx in the mail. Looks really cool and has a great theme to it. 25 promo cards to give out to everyone who I teach, a poster and teaching playmat, and a special coin for the official launch of the game on March 23rd. If you run a game store in Northeast Ohio or know of a store that wants someone to come by and teach games, hand out promos, and bring in business, please let me know!

Looking for a store

If you’re a gamer in the Cleveland-ish area, and you know a game store looking for someone to demo games, or at least would be willing to listen to a pitch from me, please let me know. I love teaching board games and would love to find a nice store to demo at.
