An pal had me and @Matt over to play Heroes of Terrinoth. It’s a spiff cooperative game played with cards and tokens. It’s quick to learn and has neat mechanics. I’m definitely down for a repeat.

Thank you for an excellent event. Seeing Odd Salon gain traction in a new city is really satisfying. I enjoyed meeting the NY oddlings and adding a new fellow.

I look forward to coming back when NY Salons start again in the spring!

OK, slides are done for my talk on Tuesday. I still need to work on the flow in a few spots but I’m far enough along I can participate in other geekery tomorrow guilt-free.

Unfortunately I accidentally a 3am.
