Like most of you, I end up spending a lot of time surfing the Internets looking for things that interest me.  A lot of times, I’m lead to an interesting story because it is shared with me on social media or someone emails it to me.

There’s just so much stuff out there right now – it’s hard to know what to look at.  One of my favorite sources for game-related links is the Link Roundup on BGG which is curated by W. Eric Martin (who also happens to be one of our OG contributors too!).  Heck, a lot of those links were random things that I sent to him which he thought was interesting…

What we’d like to do is to share links with you that we think you’d like to read.  Most of them will be boardgame-related, but not necessarily all.  Hopefully with as many as 35 writers contributing links, this will have a more well-rounded feel as the curating will be done by all of us as opposed to a single viewpoint.

At this point, I’m not sure how often we will do this – a lot depends on whether the readers of the blog find it useful.  If readers would like to share their own links, please feel free to do so in the comments.  However, if you do so, please limit your comment to a single link.  If you post more than one link in a comment, the spam filter will likely trash the comment as spam!

Not directly gaming related, but this is a neat program that may help you read our blog (and others) on the go.  It’s a bookmarklet which will convert an RSS feed to an ebook format.

I haven’t really played with anything on the

JavaScript Board Games site… but I think it’s just incredibly cool that someone would go back & code old TV and movie tie-in games so we can play them. Granted, they probably stink (most of the ones I’ve owned over the years certainly do) but it’s still a noble endeavor. (I look forward to trying The Six Million Dollar Man: Bionic Crisis game – I remember seeing it in the store when I was a kid. And I was in love with Jamie, the Bionic Woman
