Sam here. I have a dark secret to share with you all. When I was in middle school and high school, I was really into vampires. I was the girl who dressed in all black, read all of the Anne Rice novels and would daydream about Stuart Townsend (don't judge me) as Lestat. Every Halloween, I was [...]
Kristen here! I recently DMed for the first time using the The Dawn Chasers D&D module by MT Black (check out my write-up of the experience here), and the rest of the Questies came up with some really fun characters for this module. This was our first party with only non-humanoid characters which made for some fun [...]
With Halloween approaching we have been reviving our Curse of Strahd D&D campaign, which sadly sat abandoned from March until October. We know, unforgivable! But with a lot of new players (!) coming in and out of our games, D&D has been mostly centered around one shots for us over the spring and summer. We [...]
Twilight Imperium 4th edition has quickly become one of our favorite board games of all time. It is an intense, complicated game of intergalactic negotiations and space combat for 3-6 players by Fantasy Flight Games. The game is at its absolute best when you have a full table of 6 players, using 37 hexagonal galaxy tiles [...]
Our Chillin with My Gnomies campaign is a series of one shots that we are running with a group of hapless yet entertaining gnomes. For us, creating a compelling or funny backstory for our D&D characters (even for one shots) really enhances our playing. We do find that our backstories/character motivations tend to evolve over [...]
We had the good fortune of being able to line up our vacation time so that we could spend a week literally doing nothing but gaming and laying out at the beach (enter heavenly choir sounds here). And what goes better with games and beaches than a pineapple based margarita? Nothing. The answer is nothing [...]
Recently one of our favorite board game bloggers Mackenzie of The Meeple Street posted about her board game motivation profile (check out her post here), and it inspired us to take this quiz ourselves! We've always known we have a big variety of gaming tastes in our group, but thought it would be interesting to [...]
Having a good drink selection is a must during our game nights. Recently, we have been trying out mixed drink recipes to find the perfect matches to the game we are playing. We find that alcohol really enhances our character creation and acting during our Dungeons and Dragons campaigns. It leads to fun storylines like [...]
Happy Friday the 13th, everyone! Today we are hosting a big game day with some of our friends and get to debut our new Quest Friends Tote of Holding. As you know, we love it when we get to combine our passion for gaming with our other hobbies, which includes crocheting! Because we are [...]
Ever since we started gaming together, we have tried to find ways to enhance the gaming experience. For us, the ambiance really amps up game night. We have done themed drinks and food and have painted figurines, but have found that the enhancement that gives you the biggest bang for your buck (and your time) is [...]
