I run a Slack group that a handful of friends and I converse in daily about many things nerdy. Today started out innocently enough with a post in our Boardgames channel.

Ever since I first saw the Geek Chic products at C2E2 a few years back, I’ve been slightly obsessed with having my own convertible game table. The only problem is that they are expensive as hell. Convincing Dani that we needed to invest in one just wasn’t going to work. So then I thought, I’m…

I came home from our weekend away in Syracuse to find the June 2013 Loot Crate waiting at my door. Score! The topic this month was MASHUP and we have seen some pretty rad mashup posts from the Loot Crate crew on their Facebook page leading up to this months delivery.

A bit different look for the crate this month. There wasn’t really any high-end item like the previous couple months with the Funko and Kid-Robot toys. Still, it was a pretty nice box, and I finally got my loot crate ID card!
