Travel from Becca's Crazy Projects

Last weekend we traveled to Morristown, NJ, to participate in Metatopia 2023. We played new games with new friends, attended seminars about machine learning systems and listened to the flesh and bone artists this technology aims to put out of business.

There was also so much food. We went to Pierogies House for dinner.

I walked in the nearby park.

We had more delicious food. The chicken sliders - with house-made chips - were a fun lunchtime treat from The Horseshoe Tavern.

And more walking in the park.

Game Night: Marvel United from Becca's Crazy Projects

This past weekend we had friends over for dinner and games. We plated a couple games but this was the one with the best art. This is the She Hulk character.

The game is Marvel United. We've played it a few times. Each time we seem to pick the wrong heroes once or twice before we can manage to beat the big bad. On this occasion I think we failed twice and decided to change games.

Game Vault from Becca's Crazy Projects

What is a game vault? It is a thing that gamers want. Role playing gamers. Board gamers. Gamer geeks of many types. A fully built game table can cost thousands of dollars. And I don't mean just a couple thousand. Some tables can run more than $10,000.00. I don't have the budget, or burning desire for such a table. I do however have some minor skills and math ability. During my research into the subject, I came across a cheaper option that anyone can make with some hand tools. I got this great idea from The ...

Meeples and Monsters from Becca's Crazy Projects

In case you don't know, I love a good board game Kickstarter. Meeples and Monsters from AEG is one of those board games.

The finish on everything in this box is just awesome! Look at these bags. So many times everything in a Kickstarter project is great except they cheap-out on the bags for dice, or pieces. These are big enough to get your hand into easily.

Printed meeples are necessary for this game but they add a little to the overall finish. Yes, some of those are just gray, which is intentional. We call those the drunken meeples ...

Game Night from Becca's Crazy Projects

It has been over a year since we sat down for in-person dinner and games with our friends. Saturday marked the first weekend everyone was fully vaccinated so we celebrated with dinner and games.

I only have a few photos as we were having too much fun playing games and catching up. This is the board for Canvas, a card drafting strategy game. It was quick to learn and kept us entertained. The base game is available on Amazon (link at the end of the post).

This is a view of the table when we played Mountain Goats. This was ...

Machine Embroidery from Becca's Crazy Projects

I've had my eye on this machine embroidery design for a while now. I have plenty of gamer friends that would use one of these fun and easy to take along dice trays.

Two layers of durable vinyl and some fun embroidery make this a quick and durable project, perfect for gift giving. The design is from String Theory Fabric Art. Direct link.

Tools and supplies (affiliate links):
Fiskars Self Healing Rotary Cutting Mat
Fiskars 4-inch Curved Craft Scissors
Fiskars 8-inch scissors
Magna-Glide bobbins (absolutely the best for my embroidery machine)
KAM snaps
Pellon Stitch-N-Tear
