FanExpo in Toronto...

This weekend I will be working at FanExpo at the Metro Toronto Convention Centre in downtown Toronto. It is an enormous sci-fi, fantasy, horror, comic, and video gaming convention. Total geekfest. My partner is a graphic artist so we will be selling shirts and prints in the Festival of Fear section. If you're curious, you can check out his blog here and artwork here.

Why am I writing this in my "gaming" blog? Well, there is a HUGE board gaming section! Lots of game retailers everywhere to find obsure copies of things and an open game section run by the Toronto Gamers, I think, where you can play to your heart's content. I'm hoping I can sneak away from the booth for a game or two....

If you're at the convention, stop by and say hello!

Dominion: Seaside preview....

New details on the Rio Grande website about Dominion: Seaside. Turns out the new mechanic introduced involves setting up following turns with cards from the current turn:

Its central theme is your next turn; there are cards that do something this turn and next, cards that set up your next turn, and other ways to step outside of the bounds of a normal turn.

Interesting...

Happy 60th, Candy Land....

This was brought to my attention from one of my favourite gay bloggers, Joe My God...
The enormous Candy Land game was set up on Lombard Street, a twisty street in San Francisco. So cool! More photos and info can be seen here.
