New windows restore an Akron house's Arts and Crafts charm

Architectural and interior styles change over time and as they do, people often change their spaces accordingly. My next-door neighbors’ home was built at the turn of the last century by the family that owned Akron Brewing Co. Sometime in the mid-20th century, the kitchen’s wooden cupboards were removed and replaced with “modern” stainless steel ones. Luckily, an original section of the bottom…

The Pros and Cons of Buying A Historical Home

Planning authorization and structural soundness are two issues that can occasionally stand in the way of your aspirations to renovate or restore a historic home to its former splendor.

PROS

They have a distinct charm and personality. For good reason, historic residences are in demand: they are breathtaking. When historic property is maintained, its value will increase organically as it ages, saving you from having to actively work to add value to your house.

They have an excellent ROI. As long as they are maintained and don't fall into disrepair, historic homes naturally appreciate in value.

They were made to last. These days, it's quite hard to find the building materials and workmanship needed to build these stunning homes. You may be confident that they are constructed from long-lasting materials.

They are frequently in desirable areas. Older homes are typically more conveniently positioned to restaurants, stores, and other amenities and closer to the town. A few older houses are also in a lovely rural location, providing breathtaking views and leisure time.

CONS

They lack modern amenities. Certain ancient residences are devoid of contemporary amenities, depending on their age and location. You will have to determine whether the space's charm and character outweigh the most expensive or greatest eco-home enhancements.

Remodeling frequently costs more. Compared to modern construction, historic homes require more consideration before deciding to rebuild; also, the cost is frequently higher because more components must be changed, rewired, or accommodated.

They require constant maintenance. In order to preserve their structural integrity and historical character, historic residences frequently need constant maintenance and preservation work. If these activities are completed correctly, though, the house will remain in excellent shape for many years to come. It is essential to have a plumbing system, electrical system, and cove security system installed.

Buildings constructed during the last three decades are regarded as "new builds" since they have not yet been subjected to the test of time. If a house or structure was constructed prior to 1945, it is deemed historic. Purchasing an old house is not for the faint of heart.

My Favourite Tabletop Games I Played in 2022

Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands - Violence Erupts

I wrote about playing a one-shot of Mobile Frame Zero: Firebrands and trying out the new Violence Erupts minigame in a previous issue of the newsletter. Then, I used it more as a jumping off point to muse about directions to push the Blood mechanic in Spectres of Brocken and about providing scaffolding for play.

However, now I just want to gush about how I really, really love Firebrands and the new minigame slots right in so perfectly and plays expertly with the themes that I love in mecha fiction, of the outsize reach that mechs, that technology, allows you and the tragedies that ensue. It also helped me push through some design ideas in Spectres of Brocken, and that's the best thing a game could do for a game designer. I've seen some more previews of updates to Firebrands through Vincent Baker's Patreon and that has me really excited for the new edition, so there's a high chance (pretty much a lock, tbh) Firebrands will return again on another end of year favourites list.

Wingspan

I finally played Wingspan this year lol. It had a lot of buzz when it released in 2019 and I figured I would eventually play it at one of the many boardgame meetups that I attended but I somehow managed to always find something else new and exciting to play and put off Wingspan because Wingspan would still be there for me, since it was so popular. Well, I managed to put it all off until 2022 and yeah it's pretty good! Jeannie loves birds a lot, so it was the perfect game for us to play together, and she's the undisputed Queen of Birds.

Reach of the Roach God

Someone could accuse me of bias since I was paid to help out with playtesting a couple of adventures for Reach of the Roach God (City of Peace and Spider Mountain Temple), and to that someone I would say, tough shit - the adventures are really, really good regardless.

It's also been quite a while since I've run fantasy adventures as I've been running a Beam Saber campaign since 2020 and I've been playtesting a mecha game, and it was just really nice to get back into that mode. I felt incredibly comfortable and supported doing it with the Reach of the Roach God adventures as it drew upon a lot of folklore that we were already familiar with, and the various random generators and bits of writing did so much to make the places and people feel so alive. I'm incredibly excited to see the final book and run the adventures again once they've gone through the refinement process.

Spectres of Brocken

Well, well, well. If you read my December newsletter reflecting on 2022 you already knew this was coming. I love Spectres of Brocken so much. I feel so lucky I get to "playtest" this game, which is just an excuse to play this game over and over with cool people. It's not a perfect game, to be sure, but it feels like the perfect game for me. It's got all the weird little mechanical toggles I like playing with, the types of scenes I like playing with, and all the themes and timeskips and tragedy and mechs that I could want.

Honourable Mentions: Mr. Face, Parks: Nightfall, Crisis, A Worried Guest, Stand Up! Hero!!!, Oldhome: Children Chasing Giants, Oldhome: Trip to Turtle City, Iseguy, DaDaGang, Depths Unfathomable, For The Other City, Corps a Corps, Meanwhile, In the Subway..., Da Xia, Stealing The Throne
