Prior to the Great War, religion had a very large place in most humanoids life. Attending church, temple, shrine, or whatever their religion demanded was often a daily occurrence for the vast majority of people. Then the Great War started as skirmishes between baronies, fiefdoms, and kingdoms over trade routes, land borders, and trade. As […]

International Game Day – Peabody Public Library
We had a wonderful group of players at our second (my third) International Game Day, sponsored by the American Library Association. We did have a few hurdles to deal with. The biggest one was a scheduling glitch that ended up restricting us to a much smaller room than we had originally planned for. As such, […]
Welcome to our new contributors
Hello, all! We’ve added a few new contributors, who I’m sure will be introducing themselves over the next few days. They’ll be bringing their own unique perspective to tabletop gaming 🙂
October Gaming Extravaganza – Event Report
On October 18, the Peabody Public Library played host to Non Boring Board Games’s second Gaming Extravaganza. Thirteen attendees were present, with the main event of the day being a Magic: the Gathering booster draft. We had a few new faces at the event this time, including Brian, Ashley, and Nick. We had 7 people […]
Back to the Collection
When I started writing here, I decided to go through my collection, alphabetically, and review each title, though occasionally, I’d back up into the list to catch a title I’d recently acquired. I stopped writing them when I moved, and cut my collection in half. I left half of it behind with the shop when […]
Fort Sackville, a Primer
I’ve been working a bit to bring a bit more traffic to Fort Sackville, so if you’re here for the first time, I’d like to tell you a little bit about what we are. Fort Sackville Gaming Society began as a handful of friends who got together multiple times a week to play various tabletop […]
Expanding the Collection
For the last year and a half, I’ve severely curtailed my board game collecting. Having a baby, moving across the state, maintaining a small house payment as well as rent, and not having as much time to game really make it a lot more difficult to *collect* games, let alone play them. There have been […]
Jason’s Board Game Preview – Dead of Winter
In my last post, I promised to share my thoughts on Dead of Winter. Disclaimer: I spent the weekend of Origins demoing Dead of Winter for Plaid Hat Games, so I may be a bit biased. Dead of Winter is the first in a series of games from Plaid Hat Games called Crossroads games. It […]
Journey to Origins – Days 2, 3 and 4 (and a bit of 5)
Sorry for the delay in posting the rest of my Origins experience. As I mentioned before, immediately after returning from the show, we started moving. While we haven’t finished, I’m making a bit of time to get some words out of me. Day 2 is when things got busy. I spent the day demoing games […]
Journey to Origins – Days 0 and 1
A few months ago, my cousin Seth asked me if I’d like to go to Origins. He was toying with the idea of renting a vacation house for a week, rather than springing for a hotel room. I’d never been to Origins, and I’ve wanted to for years. After talking it over with Jamie, I […]
