    Choose your Gaming Poison, Part 1

    I was talking with a fellow Meetup  member this weekend and he asked me,  “What  is the best store to host an RPG at?” I couldn’t help but smile and nod back to him as I fully understood his frustration. We were sitting  in the middle of a store that was hosting MTG Grand Prix qualifier event and we had to shout at each other just to carry on our conversation over the attendees.

My parents decided it would be the perfect way to teach me valuable life lessons and skills. Like math and bullshitting people.

Thank you Monopoly. I shall use your powers to never be shorted change again.
