About

I tune and repair pianos for a living, mostly out of a small shop in Cincinnati, some house calls. It's exacting work, a string a fraction of a turn off and the whole chord sounds wrong, and I think that's what carried over into how I read and play games. I notice a warped component or a card print register that's a hair off-center before anyone else at the table does.

I read whatever's dense enough to keep me up past when I should be asleep, hard SF mostly, some philosophy of science, the occasional book somebody hands me and insists I'll get something out of even without the background. Same with games. I'll clear a Saturday for something like Twilight Imperium once a year, and I've got a shelf of stuff I backed on Kickstarter before I had any business owning that many board games. I write these up when I actually finish something and have an opinion worth typing out, not on a schedule. No affiliate links here, no newsletter, just what I thought.

Where I am: Cincinnati, Ohio

Rereading Light for the second time this year. Still not sure I get all of it.

What's here

Book reviews, board game reviews, and whatever else I feel like writing about. No schedule, no affiliate links, nothing sponsored. I write about a book or a game when I've actually finished it and have something to say, which is why the dates on here are irregular.
