Welcome to the World...of Beebs

I love games. No, really. I really love games. Video games, Board games, Tabletop games; It’s been a growing passion of mine for many years and hasn’t slowed in the slightest. This passion is what I really want to write about in this blog. Anecdotes, a review sprinkled in here and there, and quite possibly the budding of a game of my own creation. 

To me, there is nothing better than a well illustrated game sprawled out on a run down table that's seen far too many years, yet here it is still doing it’s sole duty. Cards, pencils, paper, tokens are being passed from person to person. Game days are always an unexpected series of pleasant happenings: one person brought way too many energy drinks and passed them around; another took on the role of mother to make sure everyone is fed; and there’s always one person that the group is waiting for and messaging for constant updates on their ETA. 

I will always be enjoying a cup of tea poured from a kettle that is completely out of place among the rest of the décor. Leaned back in a broken chair, held together by the man-made miracle Duck Tape, I’ll gather around my players to the table and with one look they know: we are about to begin another adventure.  

It’s satisfying to entrap others into a tapestry of stories from the mind. Though that’s the main goal of Role Playing Games. When the mood isn’t in for crawling dungeons and slaying goblins with paper and dice, we turn to cardboard and plastics. Something about working towards the games goals, sometimes in direct competition and sometimes cooperatively, makes those memories all the more memorable. 

Those memories I hold dear. I would like to share some of them in this blog. I can’t pretend to know how I will progress from here, but it is a start, and starting is the first step in just about everything amazing.
