Being a father to 2 young girls I read through the Hunger Games books hoping to give them (in a few years) a set of good books they could read through for that strong female role. I was so disappointed. Not because the writing isn't great (it's not, but serviceable), but because Katniss is...

The Best Board Game Movie: Clue

Looks cool. It'll be interesting to see if this is another one of his hits (Dominion and Kingdom Builder) or failures (there have been a few)

I think Bob had some good things to say: Don't vilify the pink isle because then you may affect anyone who actually enjoys that isle. But man he missed the boat on the Masculine=Good and Feminine=Bad. Sure I see that it can exist, but the Hunger Games example was completely off-base.

I'd agree that most Kickstarters I'm also dubious of. Most of them seem high on art/minis/story/etc. and low on a good game. I've supported projects put out by Days of Wonder and Tasty Minstrel but only two 'unknowns' so far. I always think it's a big help when they post rules. I think the...

Who's "Paul Suanders"?

When will the WotC logo appear before the LRR logo? Actually, this is the kind of product placement I can tolerate.

Actually, if the coupon says one per customer and the family is willing to have each member ring up a separate transaction then there's no problem with that. Each person is a customer. So that one just isn't valid. "I'm looking for a book" is correct. They walked into your store looking...

Came here to list him as one of my favorites. Most comediennes I don't find funny. I'm not sure why... I've just found that to be the case.

And yet the video ended with an ad to upgrade to the Escapist's Publisher's club... ironic?
