This rules. Thanks Chris!
Amazing painting for the store by Chris Fox. He's a killer tattooer and friends with my brother and they surprised me with this awesome piece that's right at home in our fantasy castle gaming fort.

Is this what we do with the results? Now that I have a game store, I'll call these numbers "market research."

My beautiful wife created this window display for our new game store, @BladeGamingInc downtown Roanoke VA.

Announcement pending. Gears are in motion. For now, here's a wall mounted AC / heat pump.

I'm currently at a tattoo convention, but according to this sign, I'm basically at GenCon, right?

Every time my son Ulrich and I hit the black diamonds, we drive by this wizard house.

Enjoying a great meal with my beautiful wife downtown, outdoor seating, and a very loud, rude obnoxious group lines up to get in. At one point a lady says "we're playing monopoly again tonight." Ah: that explains everything.

According to my @BGStatsApp I recently played my 100th differently named title this year, Project Raygun's The THING: Infection at Outpost 31! It was a blast. Joe was infected from the beginning, so they grew wary of him, but I got it on the 2nd section and nobody suspected! WIn!

Since I couldn't be at #Origins2018 I took my son to bid farewell to SLAYER for his birthday. Insane live show, listening to songs I've loved since I was his age.

Anthrax, Lamb of God, Testament and Behemoth were great, too.

Origins seems like a lot of fun. Hope everyone has a great time. Board games are life.

Am I prepping for a con? Am I giving away all my games? Am I leaving my wife? Nope! It's not any of those things.

You guessed it: RobbCon was fun.

Let's do this! Now where did I put that shepard? Most important ingredient o' the pie. #RobbCon2018

Played my 100th game of the year yesterday, according to my BGStats. And that game was: Lords of Hellas! It absolutely lived up to my expectation. Very, very fun! And again, I love that the KS was in two waves and I get to enjoy the base game for a while. It's perfect.

Received Wave 1 of Lords of Hellas. It's the core game and the upgraded parts from only that. All the expansions and bonuses will be in Wave 2. I really wish Rising Sun had done this.
