My name is Nick and I love games. It's an addiction and the first step to getting better is more games...obviously. I often call myself a polygamist. Poly meaning many and gamist meaning a player of games. I love talking about games but often times find that I'm actually supplying both sides of those conversations because, well, I'm by myself. So I'm going to take a(nother) stab at a blog. My first blog attempt was aimed at RPGs specifically. My second was about my Warmachine/Hordes hobby (henceforth referred to as WarmaHordes). They've languished in Nowhereland for a good, long while and I wanted a clean break from them. Also, I don't want to pigeonhole myself as far as the content of my blog. I want to address board and card games, and the occasional video game if I choose (I probably won't).
I also listen to a lot of podcasts, the vast majority of which are game related. I may use this blog to respond to, or further explain my thoughts about, the topics of a given podcast. I am, in the words of Sean Nittner (http://narrativecontrol.libsyn.com/), "continuing the conversation".
Actually, to steal another catchphrase from Sean, I pretty much plan on "talking about my gaming experiences". I don't plan on writing much about game theory/philosophy, unless it's in response to something. I plan on keeping it practical. What I'm doing, what I plan on doing, how I'm going to do it. Practical.
Anyhow, that's this blog in a nutshell. I hope others out there will find it relatable and possibly helpful.
