The D Twenty, Inc is Announcing Its Expansion into ‘New Frontiers’

Let me explain something, I am a massive geek. I loving many geek past times, but the apex of these, my passion of passions, is games. Not just computer games, but games in general. I love role playing games (hence this blog), card games, board games, computer games, even mind games.

As such, I think it’s only appropriate that I expand this blog to cover a wider selection of games that will be occupying my time (excluding video games, they will be primarily the prevue of my other blog). This is mainly due to how I spent my awesome Christmas, indulging my geek side with my girlfriend.

You see, she bought me a game. Not just any game, but Risk. And not just any Risk, but TRANSFORMERS RISK! Now this may not be the ‘best’ version of Risk, but it was one of the most thoughtful of gifts I have ever received! (My girlfriend has an innate skill for thoughtful gifts) Additional, I began seriously playing Magic: The Gathering with her as well. You see, about a year ago, I saw an advert in a magazine for free MtG starter sets. You just filled out your details online and they sent you a starter kit, including over 60 cards and cd-rom. I did this twice and me and Viv played briefly once they arrived. Then I put them on my shelf and that’s where they stayed. That was until desert bus 2010.

During the online charity event, they auctioned off several rare sets of cards and this rekindled my interests. As soon as Christmas rolled around, I broke out the decks this time, and resorted them. Instead of two identical, mixed colour decks, I made to very different, bi-coloured decks, and me and Viv started playing. We had a lot of fun, Viv winning the majority thanks to her brutal Blanchwood Armour/ Enormous Baloth combo which finished me off almost every time.

As such, I’m planning on not just covering D&D 4th Edition, posts on the topic of which have wilted somewhat, but I will also cover topics including Magic the Gathering and various board games. I already have my eyes on a copy of Risk 2210 AD, one of the best versions of the game. I think for my next post, I will most certainly take a look at Risk and why I love it.
