Augmenting Geekology: May 2015
http://adventgeekgirl.blogspot.com/2015_05_01_archive.html
Sunday, May 31, 2015. In December I challenged myself to play a different game each day for a month. Now that school is letting out and I have a bit more time on my hands, I wanted to challenge myself to get back into gaming and really exploit my extra free time between family, traveling, and professional development. Half of my time in June will be spent traveling, but I'll still get a game in. It'll just be a matter of posting it when I get a chance. Can't wait to get started! I just really felt there ...

Augmenting Geekology: September 2015
http://adventgeekgirl.blogspot.com/2015_09_01_archive.html
Saturday, September 12, 2015. GenCon: The Wheaton Experience. By the end of GenCon 2014, I figured, as with many things in my life, this meeting was never meant to be and I slowly accepted my position in life. That was until GenCon 2015. . . and the amazing, kind hearts of my game club students who gave me the confidence and drive to do something amazing. Well, Wheaton was going to be there! My excitement was for being able to share it with my kids and seeing their excited faces. Then people started comi...

Saturday, September 17, 2016. The Joy of Gaming - The Magic Labyrinth. The Magic Labyrinth (2009). If you're into the art and playful visuals of the game, the artist, Rolf Vogt, is also responsible for a similarly enjoyable game, The Enchanted Tower (2012). I recommend checking it out. A great addition and one my daughter loves playing! Meet Me at the Table. Friday, September 16, 2016. I, though, am apparently really caught up in writing stories for my Marvel character and it's very involved! So as the s...

Augmenting Geekology: August 2015

Friday, August 21, 2015. Critical Role and Me: How Watching Inspired Me. It might not be a surprise to anyone if I reveal I first watched Critical Role because Wil Wheaton was going to be on it. After my love for Titansgrave and Wheaton as a GM, I thought it would be awesome to watch him as a character. So when I saw the tweet, I clicked the link and BAM, I was chromecasting it onto the TV! The two of us came up with the idea that the two of us and our friend should take turns running our own RPGs. One m...

Augmenting Geekology: June 2015
http://adventgeekgirl.blogspot.com/2015_06_01_archive.html
Friday, June 5, 2015. June Game-a-Day Challenge - Day 5: Jamaica (2007). My husband bought me this game for our Anniversary this year. I had put off playing it for a while, because I actually wasn't sure what the game was and it didn't interest me right off the bat. Once I sat down to play it, though, I was hooked. Jamaica is a 2-6 player game where you are a pirate who needs to make it around the island, but watch out for pirates! Meet Me at the Table. One of Those Moments. I talk about it all the time,...

Augmenting Geekology: April 2015
http://adventgeekgirl.blogspot.com/2015_04_01_archive.html
Saturday, April 25, 2015. Calkins and Tabletop Games - Husband's Write-Up on the Kids' Games. My husband posted this to the BGG forums, sharing his experience working with the kids. I wanted to post it here to have to reflect on at the end of the process and for next year. So my wife is a 6th grade teacher and is doing her second year of a game design unit. Last year's was moderately successful considering she went into it with a lot of completely untested ideas and had to learn from mistakes. Just thoug...

Augmenting Geekology: November 2015
http://adventgeekgirl.blogspot.com/2015_11_01_archive.html
Monday, November 23, 2015. This past school year, I wanted to try to pick some books for Read Alouds that were unusual and fit me and the kids. I was a little frustrated this year, because it's hard to do a Read Aloud EVERY DAY! I mean, there just isn't the time to get everything done. So while I was looking for books to start the year off with, I stumbled upon a unique find: A Monster Calls by Patrick Ness. It felt like something I could connect to. Something timely and intimate for me. After that the s...

Friday, January 16, 2015. 5 Fandom Friday - Conventions I’ve Been To Or Wish To Attend. Conventions are something I'm slowly working my way into. It took me forever to get my husband to actually agree to go to one with me. But for this Friday, I won't hold back my passion and desire for conventions with a wonderful 5 Fandom Friday mixed list of Conventions I've Been To or Wish to Attend. 3 Origins Game Fair. 4 Star Trek Las Vegas. No seriously. . . I fantasize about someday going. This is...And there you...
