Still around but haven't posted in awhile. Still gaming every Thursday. I just thought I'd show my game store bulletin board.

Just stopped by to say I'm still here.

My games of Hackmaster died out when covid hit 18 months ago.

However since the beginning of Summer I have been running games at the same brick and mortar store.

Last game we ran was a play test of "Escape from Kabul" I'm designing for the Simulation & Wargaming folks. (They actually get paid for that kind of job.)

Otherwise I'm in retirement.

I put an old server in my garage and it runs old text games at

The pandemic is still going on and my last HackMaster game was in March, I decided NOT to resume it at some future date. Keeping track of Player history is a PITA.

My weekly game is cancelled until further notice.

On Wednesday major local corporations recommended avoidance of all non-essential gatherings. Later during the week came a spate of municipal and statewide lock downs and the declaration of a national emergency.

This time we had double cheeseburgers and fries individually bagged for each player from a national fast food chain.

Games on Wednesday nights sometime after 6:30PM at World's Best Comics, 9714 Warwick Blvd Newport News, Virginia 23601. (We skipped the previous week due to fog.)

This time we had a salami pizza.

Tomorrow we are back on schedule with a late start. No sooner than 7:30PM, so the game will have to be quick and easy.

After Action Report (AAR) for two gaming sessions prior. (Due to U.S. Thanksgiving Day on 28 Nov, we skipped it.)

No game tomorrow because I'm staying home to answer to door for Trick or Treaters.

Next game will be on November 14th. I have my local American Legion meeting on the 7th.
