[These 35 Games] Alone
It is cold, dark, and you have no idea where you are. Steel lines the floors and walls and no signs of life can be found. But then there is a noise and a motion in the dark from all directions and you are no longer by yourself. But what has joined you makes you wish that you were…
Exit solitary after the jump!
Root Goes Digital!
I like Root. It was my favorite game last year. And I am excited about the upcoming expansion as I also threw more money at it to get the fancy mat boards. But this new news about Root going digital is just very exciting.
3D elements on the board with cel-art animation style for the cute creatures is just what I need. Dire Wolf Digital is making it and they say it is coming soon, later this year. Will it be good? Well Dire Wolf Digital has made Raiders of the North Sea digital game as well as Pokemon Online. I can’t imagine being handed those and this license and not making a quality product would be a thing.
Here’s hoping it comes to the Nintendo Switch like Raiders has and Eight Minute Empire is about to do!
Silver Spring Library MeetUp Changes
The downtown Silver Spring Library’s meeting rooms have been a great opportunity for us since the building opened. They have been very kind and generous with letting us use their facilities to host our events. But starting this month, we will only be having one event a month at the library.
House Rules: How Many is Too Many?
Recently I pulled out the game DOOM by Fantasy Flight Games. I had played the game once or twice before but sometimes always kept me from pulling it out more frequently. You’d think I would’ve pulled it out more since I painted the space marines (future painted mini’s?) but that wasn’t the case.
The main reason is the balance of the game which left me wondering if I should house rule and how much?

Coriolis: Meet the Ransom
Things have been a little quiet on the homepage front but behind the scenes things are bubbling a little bit. Namely on the RPG front. I wanted to show you a profile shot of the ship the characters in Coriolis are flying around in, The Ransom.
On Instagram, you can check out my account (@AdamDork) or search for the hashtag #CoriolisShips for more ship creations that I am putting out every Friday. The first one I posted is the layout of The Ransom that I gave the players as soon as they board the spaceship.
More to come soon!

[These 35 Games] Black Hole Council
It is time to decide some fates! Well actually MANY fates if you want to be correct. Probably closer to billions, but we can handle that easily. Oh, what a surprise to be in charge of black holes and more.
Come, see my influence after the jump!
