Boardgame Resource List/updated 7/23

The list of boardgame resources has been taking a lot of my time the last couple days.

I post it here mainly for my benefit. It was originally posted on Boardgamegeek. If you haven't seen it before, feel free to let me know about additions. Don't hesitate to give me your blog site if it is even modestly about boardgames.

I'm gonna be swamped for the next several days. Probably won't post again until the middle of next week, at the earliest. Won't even have time to play games.

Excellent work. Thanks.

People are still giving me sites to add. I think the game sellers in particular are hesitant to post directly on the thread. They have been sending me private notes.

Everyone who is even the slightest bit concerned about being preceived as a shill is keeping a low profile on BGG.

Pardon me while I laugh.

Thornquist sent me a nice note saying he had linked to the list at The Game Wire. "The Game Wire" falls under the category "Kicking Myself for Not Adding to the List in the First Place". Don't know how I can live that omission down.

I think I am going to re-post it in a week or so. The list was off the front page less than 24 hours after being posted.

I recently found Greg Shloesser's new website. Not much about games in it, but I am hard pressed to find a reason to not link to the "Grand Poo-Bah of Boardgames". Here it is http://gschloesser.blogspot.com/
 
Here's another thought.

I got something like 3 or 4 geek gold donated for my "Tribute to Trolling Assholes" geeklist and it was only up for a couple hours before it was deleted.

So far I've got 1 GG for the Resource list.

I'm not asking for Geekgold, I just think it is funny.

Background: On the day of the London bombing some asshole posted a tribute geeklist to the victims. If you looked at the list it was dedicated to the Iraqi civilians who had been targeted by coalition soldiers.

Nothing wrong with a tribute to civilian casulties, but it was just some trolling asshole trying to draw a moral equivilant and score political points at the same time.

Note: if you see no difference between a terrorist targeting civilians, and soldiers targeting terrorists and having accidental civilian casulties as a result you are a pinhead.

Leave now and never read my blog again.
 
Re: moral equivalency:

Sounds vaguely familiar. I think I may have heard someone say that about Israel, too ... a few thousand times.
