Wiz-War And STLs
Recently, Steve posted his notes from the Wiz-War design. At the end, he mentioned the Wiz-War STL files for printing your own miniatures, which are available on Warehouse 23, as is a nice package of matching wizard busts to display on your shelf. Phil Foglio himself recommended Kim Beaton for...
What To Do When No One's Doing Anything
I recently talked about what to do when it's not your turn. What if it's not anyone's turn? That is, what do you do if the game is over, but the game session continues? The easiest course of action is to immediately reshuffle the cards or whatever is needed to...
Remembering Rick Loomis Via A Bittersweet Milestone
While doing a bit of internal research recently, I came across this Daily Illuminator post from November 11, 2018: "Ten Awesome Things About SJ Games." Always on the lookout for new Illuminator ideas, I was amused to discover that a lot of it still holds true – which is always...
Dinner Across The Pond
A high point of my trip to the UK Gaming Exposition was dinner with Sir Ian Livingstone. Sure, we talked about Fighting Fantasy, and we talked about everything else too. (Obligatory plug: If you would like to support our new edition of Fighting Fantasy and have not yet done so,...

Sometimes the question sorts itself out to everyone's satisfaction: If one player enjoys getting the next game set up (unpacking, putting out cards, shuffling, etc.), then great! They're...
Did You Have A Happy International Steampunk Day?
We celebrated on Saturday, as one should, but you can still enjoy anachronisms, airships, and steam cannons this week by taking advantage of our Steampunk Day Sale, still alive and well on Warehouse 23 for a couple more days. Looking to add some technofantasy tinkering to your GURPS or Munchkin...
American Science And Surplus
How many of us owe our Today Selves to the cool stuff that their Past Selves found in the pages of the American Science and Surplus catalog? If you know, you know. Business is rough these days, and this icon of geekdom is threatened. Yes, there's a GofundMe here. And...
The Illuminati Polka – Now In Video Form!
Way back in August 2004, we talked about one of the songs on Tom Smith's then-new album And They Say I've Got Talent called "The Illuminati Polka." If you didn't know about that song (or have since "forgotten" definitely not a mindwipe fnord), now you do. If you did know...
