Let me know and I'll figure out something.<br /><br />Otherwise, this "blog" might die off and I'll be using Twitter instead.<br /><br />My twitter feed is under "ScienceTheater"<br /><br />-MattDr. Matt J.

It is now combined with <a href="http://www.gamingwithchildren.com/">GamingWithChildren.com</a>. I'll still be writing a biweekly post on boardgames of some sort, its just now at a new URL (GamerDad.com will continue to exist and will forward you on to the GamingWithChildren site.)<br /><br />As part of the move, I'm revamping some of my old "classic" articles for inclusion on the Gaming With Children archive.

In my entry (today's) to the group blog, <a href="http://boredgamegeeks.blogpot.com/">Gone Gaming</a>, I give <a href="http://boredgamegeeks.blogspot.com/2007/04/eurogame-review.html">a review of Dungeons and Dragons </a>as if it were a traditional Euro or American style boardgame... <br /><br />The attempt was to do something humorous, while still pointing out reasons there is plenty of cross-over between boardgame and RPG players. (If you're unfamiliar with the site, it is a group blog primarily focused on boardgames, with different folks contributing, mostly on a biweekly format. I write biweekly on Wednesdays. It is one of the more well read boardgame-focused blogs around...)<br /><br />Here's the URL of the article if you're interested: <a href="http://boredgamegeeks.blogspot.com/2007/04/eurogame-review.html" eudora="autourl">http://boredgamegeeks.blogspot.com/2007/04/eurogame-review.html</a>Dr. Matt J.
