Munchkin Minus Some
If you and your friends have played a bunch of Munchkin (any flavor!), are familiar with the cards, and are looking for an easy-peasy variant, here's one to consider. Before the game starts (and before the deck is shuffled!), each player looks through the deck and removes one card from...
Find Last-Minute Gifts At Our Valentine's Day Sale
Valentine's Day has snuck up on me like a vampire rogue at midnight. You know the one. I can only hope that I'm the only one who has been taken by surprise. But if you're also staring at the calendar in a last-minute panic, there's hope. The Warehouse 23...
Zero Shuffles?!
Long-time readers know that I'm on part 47,813 of my exploration of card shuffling. In the previous installment, I mentioned having two more insights. This is the promised second one.

I Was Told There Would Be No Math
In a recent Daily Illuminator, I laid some of the groundwork for how many shuffles it takes to randomize a standard deck of cards (SPOILER: seven), and name-dropping some sources. Today we're taking a deeper dive into how this affects us, and I use some shaky math to generate something...
The Beatles: Get Back Is A Must-Watch For Fans
I know I'm probably late to the party, but have you seen The Beatles: Get Back yet? I missed out on the original debut of this three-part documentary because we might be the only household in America that hasn't yet subscribed to Disney+. (It's a conscious decision on our...
Dare You Enter The Devil's Workshop?
The dilemma of trying to describe a brand-new adventure for the Dungeon Fantasy Roleplaying Game is that you don't want to give away the secrets contained therein. So, with the release of Dungeon Fantasy: The Devil's Workshop, we don't accidentally want to give would-be heroes an unfair advantage in figuring...
