What to buy a gamer who has too many games? Non-game gift ideas for gamers

December 21, 2020 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Tabletop gamers are notoriously hard to buy for. The obvious choice would be to get them another game, the problem is that they usually buy any games they want. Plus you never know what they already have or don't have, and if they don't have something maybe there's a reason why they didn't buy it.


In this article, I will suggest a number of gift ideas for board game lovers and roleplayers. There are presents you can give a gamer instead of yet another game.  [ READ MORE ]

A look at RPG Artifacts and Mementos, Items created before or during the game that last after the game is done

September 6, 2020 by Moe T. Leave a Comment

Today I am going to be talking about a variety of RPG artifacts. No, I'm not talking about the various body parts of Vecna, rather I'm going to be talking about physical things that are created before or during play that last long after the game they were created for is done and over with.


This topic is inspired by episode 358 of the Misdirected Mark Gaming Podcast where the hosts also discussed this topic but with a much narrower focus.  Some debate in the chatroom during that show led to one of the hosts challenging us to also cover this topic. So here we are.  [ READ MORE ]

Flying the gamer geek flag, wearing the tabletop gamer badge with honour

February 21, 2019 by Moe T. 2 Comments

Times have changed. It used to be that being a gamer was anything but cool. Being a gamer meant being an outsider, a geek, a nerd.


Despite that I've always been one to wear my hobby with pride. I didn't hide the fact that I was a gamer. I carried my Warhammer rulebooks with me openly. I had Futhark Runes written on my denim jacket. I paid to import Games Workshop T-Shirts from the UK. I was never ashamed to be a gamer.
Today being into games doesn't mean you have to be a pariah. Now being into gaming isn't even just normal, it's often considered cool. I'm still getting used to that. One of the benefits of this culture change is that it's now easier than ever to fly your gamer geek flag. [ READ MORE ]

Must have tabletop gaming accessories – Ask The Bellhop

November 17, 2018 by Moe T. 4 Comments

Jayden W, emailed to ask,


What are your MUST HAVE gaming accessories?
Thanks for the question, Jayden,
This is actually a follow up to Jayden's first question about box inserts that we answered back in August. Check out Are Box Inserts for Board Games Worth It? here on the blog or listen to Episode 4 of The Tabletop Bellhop Live - Insert Tab A for our answer to that question.
As I mentioned back in August, there isn't anything you absolutely need to play your games. Well besides the games themselves and players. But there are some things that can really help you enjoy those games more. [ READ MORE ]
