May 13, 2024: Happy 25th Anniversary, Warehouse 23!We've been so busy lately with all kinds of exciting developments (like our ultra-successful Munchkin Big Box crowdfunding event) that one interesting bit of trivia almost went uncelebrated. Namely, the 25th anniversary of Warehouse 23! We'd been selling product online before that, but April 30, 1999, (on this very Daily Illuminator!) is when we publicly announced our new online store at Warehouse23.com with its own shiny URL and everything. We've gone through more than one update since then, all in our ongoing efforts to deliver the coolest gaming goodness directly to you. For those willing to risk a nostalgia bomb, you can check out the Wayback Machine archive of how Warehouse 23 looked in its earliest capture, from September 22, 1999. Just please don't try to order anything; we have enough problems already upholding the proper flow of linear time. -- Steven Marsh Share this post!May 12, 2024: Questionable Game Purchases?I'm not sure if this'll spark an interesting discussion or reveal my own idiosyncrasies, but that describes how I've approached social interactions for the past 30+ years. So, here's my query: What's a "questionable" game purchase you've made? This isn't necessarily the biggest game you've bought (big games are cool!) or a game you didn't enjoy (mistakes happen), but rather a purchase you knew going in that you couldn't quite justify, but – darn it – you pulled the trigger anyway. I've bought lots of stuff I've thought better of, but I'll share the first one that sprang to mind when I formulated this topic. I saw a dice set I loved; as they often are, it was a standard polyhedral set for . . . some big game out there? I think it had an ampersand? Not important. Anyway, I loved the set, but couldn't quite justify it, because I didn't really play the ampersand game; I played GURPS. And . . . [more] Share this post!May 11, 2024: Vote For Munchkin Digital

Return to the autoduel arenas of the future! Car Wars fans can now back the next part of our CARnage STL series on Kickstarter. May 9, 2024: App Recommendation: JoplinI take a lot of notes and visit a lot of webpages for research. I find it invaluable to be able to scoop up info from interesting pages, copy bits of code or ephemera that have proven useful, and save recipes. (I have a lot of recipes . . .) As far as software that does what I need, I can recommend Joplin. I've been relying on it for over 5 months, and it works great. It lets you type in "fresh" notes as you think of them, or – with a suitable extension installed – copy bits of websites that catch your eye. All its data is stored locally (encrypted, if you like), and it can sync via Dropbox or any similar service you might use. Joplin is available for Windows, macOS, Linux, and iOS. Oh, and it's free and open source. It updates often, so I feel pretty confident I'll be able to use it for a while. It's a bit finicky to set up, especially if you want to be clever and sync . . .
