Check out our new review of Up or Down by Capstone Games! This card game looks simple but it is anything but. Build your elevators up or down to score valuable points but beware: one badly pulled card may cause you to destroy one of your elevators and start over!

Step back into the late '80s high school yearbook club! Compete with classmates to capture the best student, teacher, and club moments for your yearbook spread. It's all about nostalgia and friendly competition. #ClassOf89 #boardgames

ABOUT GPB

ALL KINDS OF GAMES
I play a variety of games, from Tabletop Role Playing Games (TTRPGs) to board games, card games and some PC games as well.
My interviews are with people creating homebrew D&D content and creating their own, completely new, games!

BRINGING THE GAME TO YOU
During the year of 2020, I decided to start painting miniatures again. I hadn’t done that in 30+ years and figured it would be fun to make videos of my journey.
While this was fun, I started to fall in love with all the content being created and decided to start interviewing the creators of all this awesome content and Session Zero was born.
After 30+ episodes I’ve interviewed the most diverse group of creators from Twitter and elsewhere! Please get to know some of these fabulous people by watching my interviews!

ABOUT ME
I’ve been playing games of all sorts for 30+ years, including D&D. I currently DM for several groups and play in several more! Along with games I do some miniature painting, badly. I’ve even gotten my husband into gaming and we’re having a great time playing together!
