NewbieDM Review: Back to the Future The Card Game

September 28, 2010 by

11

Before I begin talking about the Back to the Future Card Game, I think it’s worth mentioning that this is the first hobby card game I’ve ever owned.  I’ve never played Magic the Gathering, and I’ve only had a brief experience with the Star Wars card game from Decipher.  Card games aren’t really my thing, […]

Wow.  How time flies when you are having fun.  This week, September 10th to be exact, NewbieDM.com turned two.  I completely forgot that the anniversary was this week, and although it isn’t today I thought that I should do a small post about it. It’s been fun, it’s been eye opening, it’s been at times […]

Some of you may remember rpgKids, a very rules-light rpg I developed to play with my 4 year old daughter.  It was a fairly popular game (based on downloads), and I got quite a few emails and links sent to me about it.  It was even included in the latest volume of the Open Game […]

While it is a bit egotistical in my part to assume that anyone would want to hang out with me at Gencon, I have gotten several messages about joining games with people, or just going to have a beer with some folks.  I figured I’ll just lay down my plans for Gencon here, and see […]

So I bit the bullet and bought a plane ticket to go to Gencon.  I wasn’t going to attend this year, but then I got nominated for the Ennies and thought that maybe I should be there to clap for the winners… 🙂 So what does this mean for you?  Well, I have a press […]

Just a quick post to let you know (as if you didn’t already, silly me) that Ennies voting is now open. It would be an honor if you casted a vote for my blog and podcast, which are both nominated in their respective categories. If you’ve ever felt helped by anything I’ve written here, offered […]
