Where to start... perhaps at the beginning?

Hey everyone,

Welcome to my very first post on my newly created blog 'The Born Again Gamer'.

Why the title?

Well, I have always been a massive fan of all things gaming from video games, thought to RPG's, but over the years I have indulged my geek side less and less. That and playing my console took me away from the more social aspect of gaming and the hobby I love so much. So back in January I decided that enough was enough and managed to CONvince my wife and a couple of non-gamer friends to come over over and discover the joy of board games.

That was the start of Get Your Geek On (or GyGo). This was repeated again in early April. In an effort to keep them interested I also made little mail-shots before and after the events. This is the most recent one:

Good Friday Gone Bad...

 

‘Machine Gun Kelly’ In Easter Weekend Massacre!

Tragedy struck in the leafy village of Crowthorne this Good Friday, a day which locals have quickly coined Bad Friday. In a quiet residential road at approximately 7 o’clock in the evening Machine Gun Kelly struck. Ironically, this is in close proximity to what many speculate will become Machine Gun Kelly’s new home; Broadmoor Hospital for the criminally insane. For the time being however, she continue to evade police capture.

While there were several visitors at the site, there was fortunately only one victim; the board game Bootleggers. Witnesses describe it as a bloody and savage attack on what many deem to be a pleasant and enjoyable game. A neighbour was quoted as saying “I can’t believe it. You never think something like this can happen, I only played it yesterday!” Sadly the many fans could not save it this day and so it is consigned to history, never to play a part in GyGo again.

 

Police believe that Machine Gun Kelly is still in the local area and would ask local residents to remain vigilant and for anyone who has any knowledge of her whereabouts to come forward. All information will be treated in the strictest confidence. Police are keen to stress that Machine Gun Kelly may have altered her appearance, possibly changing her hair style and colouring which she has a history of doing after a recent crime.

Please report any sightings to the Police Action Hot-Line.

It seemed to go down well, very well indeed and the in the blink of an eye, or rather the tap of a keyboard, it all went to pieces.

Have you heard of Kickstarter? If you have not, then consider yourself lucky for it is an unforgiving beast. I described it recently as a free site that costs a lot of money and I think that is about as accurate a description as I can muster. I will talk more of that later.

For now though I need to go and play test a game called Cornish Smugger, by Henry Jasper. If you want to learn more about it then follow the link below:
