Carnage on the Road: Fall 2011 Edition
Fall’s a traditionally busy time of year for the Carnage staff, what with the convention coming up in November, but we manage to get out to one or two gaming events. This year, you can find the Carnage flag flying at least two game events: Fall-loha 2011, August 27th in Underhill, Vermont. Council of 5 [...]
Sign Up to Receive the Carnage Convention Book
As August draws to a close, Carnage staffers work to round up all event submissions for publication in the official book. Once the book is finalized, we’ll mail copies out to previous attendees. The furious scribbling of pens and pencils will resound throughout New England as convention-goers pick out their games for the weekend, then [...]
Gotta Room to Spare?
We could all use a potion to make ourselves smaller and fit more in the same amount of space. In the absence of that, there’s sharing rooms.

Since then, we’ve had kind words of thanks from convention-goers on the Facebook group, as well as a few other sources: AJ of AJ’s Wargaming Blog recapped this year’s Centuries of Conflict, themed around the 18th century. Congratulations to those [...]

Guilds in particular are interesting because they can be about anything: games, clubs, common interests and so on. If you have an account with Boardgamegeek — or its [...]
A Mad Tea-Party in 2011
‘The Dormouse is asleep again,’ said the Hatter, and he poured a little hot tea upon its nose. The Dormouse shook its head impatiently, and said, without opening its eyes, ‘Of course, of course; just what I was going to remark myself.’ – Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland, by Lewis Carroll Carnage the 13th went off [...]
