Meeple People

A sharp-eyed Boardgame Babylon listener recently pointed out that he found a picture of me on BGG.com so the jig is up - I'll stop posting joke photos and just show off my favorite picture of myself in the last couple of years. Here is a shot of yours truly - a big fan of Reiner Knizia's Taj Mahal - at the actual Taj Mahal. I carted one of my special oh-so-exclusive white palaces that were given out as promotional items all the way from Los Angeles to Agra, India to take this picture. The story of the journey there is something else, too, and I may find a way to work that anecdote into a show at some point.

Besides, I was heavily photographed at fellow podcaster Doug Garrett's West Coast MeepleFest this weekend (which was a blast), too, so I figured the image is out so I might as well embrace it. It was amusing (to me) while it lasted. I will post some comments on games played there (see the sidebar for some of them), although most will end up on a podcast.

Sorry for the dearth of podcasts this Summer. My walking pnuemonia seems to be back and my voice is a shade of its former strength. That and Skype/Total Recorder problems have kept me from a couple of projects. But a new series, another episode of a previous series and at least two session review shows are on the horizon.
