Dice Hate Me Game of the Year Awards 2015
Happy New Year, dear readers! It’s officially 2016, but no journey forward for us would be complete without our traditional look back at the gaming past. It has been an incredible year here at Dice Hate Me HQ with the Dice Hate Me Games/Greater Than Games merger, a wonderful Kickstarter campaign/ subsequent fall delivery of Bottom of the 9th, and a successful reboot of New Bedford!

The Pros and Cons of Cons
Ah, Summer. Tis the season of spray-on tans, silicon, shiny smiles and sparsely-clad young sprites – all crammed into hundreds of ten-foot cubicles, peddling the geekiest things on the planet. Yes, people, tis the season of the booth babe, and thus the season of the Cons. With Comic-Con kicking off its 40th year of grandiose festivities, I thought it was the perfect time to take a look at the good, the bad and the ugly of some of geek culture’s greatest yearly conventions. Consider this a primer for the uninitiated. Feel free to clip and save, people. Origins (late June) You'd better hope you roll high on your plague saving throw... Read More
