Samuel Schmid is leaving
Disclaimer: Swiss politics, so many links lead to German pages.

Outgrowing Video Games?
For a really long time, I’ve been totally neglecting board games, and only concentrated on computer games – starting even before the infamous World of Warcraft, that is, the Discworld MUD and Jedi Academy were my doom even before that (I can’t believe that’s only 5 years ago).
