Hey friends! It's time to chat all about May. I really needed a more quiet, solo game filled month to really rest and get back to more solo gaming. But I did also play some amazing larger multiplayer games as well! It was a slower but overall great month of gaming! I hope you all enjoy the video.

Hey friends! Let's chat about Bloodstone! A new game coming to you from Druid City Games! This game has been in the works for a long time and I can't wait to share it with you all! In Bloodstone, you control one of the characters and use a custom dice mechanism to determine your attacks and movements, using your miniature to move around the arena and engage in combat. You hope someday to escape this damned place, but tonight...you fight!
