The Gaming Onanist is my attempt over the next 52 weeks to
document my experiments in ludic self-pleasure as I attempt to get as many of
the unplayed (or rarely played) solitaire or co-operative games I currently own
on to the table. Whilst I am fortunate
enough to be able to participate in a regular weekly gaming group, sometimes
once a week is not just enough...
In any case, each week I will be choosing one tabletop game
and offering a brief review/gaming session report. Additionally (and time
permitting), I may also offer ruminations on contemporary tabletop gaming culture
in its various forms. In the next few
days, also expect a speculative list of some of the many games I hope to play.
This will most likely include varied genres, including: many contemporary boardgames
(of both the Euro and Ameritrash variety - though
mostly of the Ameritrash variety); various card-based games; hex-and-counter
wargames; possible some miniature gaming; and maybe even the occasional attempt
at solitairy roleplaying. Ooh err...
Bad double entendres aside (or perhaps not), in the spirit
of the season (it being just over a week since Hallowe'en) - my first offering
will be Mayfair Games' The Witch of Salem,
in whose delightful company I've frolicked twice today. Sadly, now being in a
state of dissolute and detumescent dissipation subsequent to my exertions, the review
will have to wait until tomorrow. In the interim, here's some high quality
gaming porn of The Witch of Salem board with which to tease you:
