A couple of summers ago, I found myself at Epikos Comics and Games in Chattanooga, Tennessee. Travis and I were passing through, and obviously knew we had to stop at any FLGSs we could find! So we came upon Epikos and spent time there perusing the wares. And that’s where…

I think I’ve mentioned it before, but some of my fondest memories of childhood are our family vacations to various National Parks around the country. The opportunity to see such natural beauty, to spend time outside having fun, and to experience it all with my family made for a perfect…
