Claim to Game

Join Clint Scheirer, educator and new gaming friend, as he makes his Claim to Game. Bi-weekly he will devour tabletop role-playing games (and other genres) through the eyes of a noob. No silly, he doesn’t eat games! Share in his original thoughts, judge the opinions of special guests, learn each game systematically, and enjoy as he plays with others. Get your mind out of the gutter! Once each game is thoroughly savored, the process will begin again one game at a time.
