    None of them have stumbled upon the 'buy up any property and all the houses' strategy yet?

    That was everyone's strategy. But Coop was the first one lucky enough to get houses on all his property and as he was converting to hotels Abby went bankrupt. She had bankrupted her mom earlier.

    I should have been more clear... I was talking about the one where you buy up housesand dump them on any property you can, but purposely don't upgrade to hotels. It's apparently supposed to prevent other players from developing their properties much at all since there's only 24 houses or something. Haven't played in ages, but I have seen this strategy repeatedly posted as clickbait.

    Ahhh...against the spirit of the rules I think. I'd issue more houses.

    Is it? Seems like monopolizing the houses would be very much in the spirit of dickery. We should discuss over lunch tomorrow or Friday.

Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close.

Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.

From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
