Countdown to 30

The first Front Porch campaign -- the superhero smackdown antics of Earth Commanders -- started just about 29 years ago in the summer of 1988. Next summer, then, will mark 30 years of Front Porch gaming action. For the 25th anniversary I did a series of posts on the subject (see the label "Countdown to 25"), so I might as well do the same for the 30th. 2018 will be doubly significant because it also marks the 25th anniversary of the Druid Cycle campaign setting.

Bears vs. Babies

Our latest Kickstarter purchase has arrived!


Yeah, that's one furry box! From the makers of Exploding Kittens, behold the glory of Bears vs. Babies. The object of the game is to assemble armies of bears and other creatures, like this guy...


...and this guy...


...to do battle against hordes of demented babies, like these little buggers...


The player who eats the most babies wins! Three out of four Suttons agree: This game is a winner!

Shatter Up

It seems as though one or both of the kids has had a cold for the past month, so we've had a lot of quiet, indoor time lately. Aside from all the coughing and sneezing, it's been a nice change of pace after a hectic spring with Matthew's ice hockey and Nathaniel's baseball. The boys and I have been playing a lot of D&D in the Shattered Realm setting, and now Tim W is doing a solo adventure in that world with one of his Druid Cycle characters. It's fun to watch this world really come to life!
