Saturday Crowdfunding Roundup - Deck Stackers, Hands in the Sea, & Dungeon Decor 2

Three from Kickstarter this week including "Deck Box and Stacking Card Organizer For Your Games" by Christopher Urinko.  This one looks very useful and could use a boost to get properly funded.  See more here.

Also, check out "Hands in the Sea – A two player card driven wargame" by Knight Works.  It's already funded but there are some neat stretch goals to be had if it continues to rise.  See more here.

Finally, take a look at "Tavern Dungeon Decor 28mm miniature scenery terrain" by Johnny Lauck.  He's the Mega-Minis guy who has always done wonderful work and has successfully funded a previous campaign.  Learn more here.

Events & Play Wednesday - Lake Geneva Area Gaming, Late February through Late March

A busy month so far and Gary Con is starting up next Wednesday.  A Burlington Gameday toward the end of last month followed by the Franksville Gameday took place on March 1st at Greg's Catering. There's another Burlngton Gameday this Saturday and Franksville again April 8th.  Of course the third Sunday meant A Gathering of Gamers at the Pizza Ranch in Elkhorn, WI.  Quite a bit of boardgaming at the Taco Bell on Tuesdays and Culver's on Fridays as well, and the weekly 1E AD&D game was going strong despite being down a couple of players for an extended period continuing into March.  I also got to run a preview game of the 1E AD&D scenario I have set up for Gary Con.  It's the third part of the Fighting Fire series.  Here are some highlight photos but the bulk of them can be found in a Facebook album here (Waiting on some Facebook issues for link) and on Google Plus here.

Does everyone remember the Haynes Baked Beans Astronaut Ad?  I just stumbled across it again and it still made me laugh.

Also, in a recent posting the Medievalists.net asked "How Would You Die In The Middle Ages?" here.

Finally, from a couple of years back on the Stéphane Bouley YouTube channel, using only original footage, he has cut a modern trailer for the classic comedy film, Monty Python and the Holy Grail.  Enjoy!
