  • Three Ways to Start Getting Gamer Fit!

    It is no secret that many table-top gamers are, let us say, big boned.  Husky.  Jabba-esque. Fat. There, I said it. I’m not judging, I’m about 100lbs north of my ideal weight my ownself.  It isn’t hard to see how it happens.  Sitting around, shovelling in junk food, and gaming til all hours does not…

  • The Games Room: Making It Right!

  • The Anniversary of my Birth

    That’s right, it’s my birthday.  So instead of slaving over a hot keyboard (I should really get that fixed) to write a new post, I’m taking the lazy birthday way out.  Below, please find a Classic Post from about, oh, three blogs ago.  You’ll gain a little insight in to how I turned out to…
