A New Year! Happy 2019! Now that the stress and business of the holidays are behind us, it’s natural for most of us to look forward to a new, hopefully improved 2019. Even if 2018 was a good year for you (as it was for me), here’s hoping things just […]
Cursed by a Catalyst Over last weekend I bought and played Dragonfire, a co-op deck building game from Catalyst games. This game is a re-skin and update of a game they also made called Shadowrun: Crossfire. Today I wanna talk about my experience with the previous game in the series and how […]
The Last Unicorn Many of us have stories that we read as children which stick with us many years later. For some people, that’s the Hobbit, for others it’s Alice in Wonderland. For many though, it’s the Last Unicorn. I’m honestly not sure how a kid as in love with […]
I Kill Giants I’ll admit that I’m a bit of a heathen when it comes to stories that I enjoy. I love stories with action and adventure and am totally fine with mindless brain candy. If I enjoy any ambiguity, it’s largely in the ways that people respond to situations, […]

Mara For as long as I’ve been reading, I’ve always felt myself drawn to speculative fiction. While I don’t necessarily dislike general fiction, there’s just so much possibility inherent in science fiction and fantasy. There are so many themes that can be explored in the sneakiest of ways.
