Evolution of a Dominion Player
Let me break down the progression of your typical Dominion player. By typical, I mean a player who strives to get better at the game in order win more often. I'm sure there are players who just want to "have fun" and build a deck to mess around with, but I like to think that most players want to figure out how to build a better deck. This progression has three major phases, from new player, to big money player, to well rounded player. Hopefully, you'll pick up some tips as I detail each step of this evolution.
The Continuing Tuesday Night Adventures
Last week, the heroes made their way to the dungeon at Starfall Forest. It was their first time out and about, and they made quick work of the first level of the dungeon. We packed things up and just pulled everything out last night. The heroes were in for a bit of a surprise when the second level of the dungeon opened up.

Storing Descent
It only took one night of carrying a box as big as Descent's to convince me I needed to find a different solution. Lily and I headed over to Fleet Farm while Jen was at dog class to peruse their tackle box selection. It didn't take us too long to fine the perfect solution; the Plano Magnum Hip Roof Box. The fold out trays really make for nice storage, and there is plenty of room for expansion.

Descent – Introducing the Tuesday Group
I recently acquired Descent: Journeys in the Dark to add to my Ameritrash collection of Fantasy Flight games. I've been interested in picking this up for the past couple of years, basically ever since I picked Magic back up and started getting more interested in board games. The game is gigantic, and extremely daunting, even if you've been playing heavy board games like I have. Ultimately, I had some extra birthday cash floating around, and there was a 20% off holiday sale at Chimera Hobby so it became a pretty easy decision. Given that I obtained it just before New Year's with the Keough, I thought I might even get to try it out before dropping it on the Tuesday Group.
Eh, mumfordland?
You may have noticed that this site has changed a bit. Yes, I've pulled off the forums and have setup a blog. I'll probably start posting stuff here from time to time. If you were here for the Magic forums, I've pulled them down as they don't get all that much traffic if you don't count spam.
It was time to quit Magic anyway, so I'm quitting again.
