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...
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.

Kickstarter is a website where you can put an idea up and offer rewards and people can pledge money to your cause. 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. This game looks really nice, and seems to have a simple resource management mechanism and a rather unique theme.
