High school was in many ways peak geek for me and board games were one aspect of that. The first two expansions for Carcassonne had been translated during my high school years and the board game renaissance was in it’s infancy. Settlers of Catan and Munchkin were a regular pastime, a friend bought the Doom board game because, well, Doom, and then… Arkham Horror was released. https://banananomicon.com/about/ Tue, 04 Jan 2022 18:37:50 +0200 https://banananomicon.com/about/ So what’s a “Banananomicon” anyway? When eldritch scholars of the simian kind need to record their forbidden rituals for future cultist generations they scribble those in the Banananomicon, duh. But as you so keenly pointed out there are no dark secrets about elongated berries of plants of the genus Musa here, so in this context it is just a name I came up with for my foray into game development. The name has it all: whimsy and an allusion to sinister magicks. https://banananomicon.com/posts/first-post/ Tue, 04 Jan 2022 17:38:52 +0200 https://banananomicon.com/posts/first-post/ The dreaded first post of a blog. The “ooh I’m going to write sooo much about things” phase of setting up a blog, when everything seems possible and the possibility that the first post will be the only post does not even cross the mind. Been there, failed that, maybe this time it will be different? I have several projects that I’m working on, new ones keep popping up in my head whether I want or not and I also somehow manage to play games in the interim.
