get ready for a home game changer... ✨GAME CHANGER: HOME EDITION✨ launches on kickstarter may 5th!!!

My favorite thing about today is all the people who had to schedule a post last night expressing their dislike for April's Fool Day. Yall it is not that serious, go play Pokopia

BOARD GAME INDUSTRY UNSOLICITED CUSTOMER SERVICE FEEDBACK: (from a 15-year CS manager) with love: 1.) Do not email on Fridays. It's not that we're unavailable; Friday is a recap-and-report day, and very few "new" requests get resolved or even answered on Fridays.

BOARD GAMERS! 🙌🏻 I need a fun solo game to play during lunch breaks, I love A Gentle rain, and I feel I would love Gloomhaven: Buttons and Storyfold so any other recs would be awesome! 💕💕

And the winner for “Matt’s favorite logistics portal for a 3PL with the easiest submission form” goes to……. @qmlogistics.bsky.social !!! 🥰🥰🥰 Truly all of our partners though have portals now and wow what a difference that makes for our CRM! 💙💙💙

💎🦉 IT'S HERE! 💎🦉 Proud to share the first-ever diamond painting kit inspired by a board game from Brotherwise Games, featuring the iconic artwork of Boss Monster. Available as an add-on to the Super Boss Monster 2 campaign! 🧵 www.kickstarter.com/projects/bro...

On August 6, 2024, @brotherwisegames.bsky.social launched the Cosmere RPG. In just 23 days, more than 60,000 backers pledged $15 million. This incredible response made it the fifth-largest crowdfunding campaign to date. Today, my own copies arrived; as I look at them, gratitude washes over me.

Hey sooooooo, I have two non-game products I pitched to Brotherwise, and one of them will be announced soon. 🥹 I just want to talk about it because every time I glance at my office computer screen from my home desk, I can't help but smile when I catch a glimpse of it in the reflection. 1/3

Hey friendos! We have a new series out on YT! Check out "Last Stand at Relanar Keep" a #CosmereRPG game with level 15 characters! Using our pop-up-video/learn-to-play format that you've seen before with Achtung! Cthulhu and Cohors Cthulhu 30m episodes every Friday! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ejN2...

Fulfillment is now underway for the Cosmere RPG! We've sent PDFs to all backers, and books started shipping this week. So now seems like a great time to celebrate the awesome team behind this project. This is a LONG thread, but please read (and share!) it anyway, because this team deserves it. 🧵

Hey, I just want to give a shoutout to the @dragonsteelbooks.com warehouse team, who is getting ready to begin fulfillment on the Cosmere RPG in the U.S., and at over 40,000 orders I couldn’t feel more confident in that we chose the right partners here for domestic fulfillment. Love you guys. 🧡🥹🧡

Thank you @professorrpg.bsky.social for a great well rounded review! The best news I have is everything you are wanting just got revealed at Gen Con in a 2026 expansion!! (Also very very cool to see IGN reviewing board games) 🙌🏻🙌🏻

✨Plz share for visibility!✨ If you’re going to GenCon, consider taking one of my mini painting classes! There are still tickets left for all sessions! Learn the secrets of glazing, or try my signature 4 color/easy color scheme class! bit.ly/daggersclass #minipainting #miniaturepainting

Friendly Customer Service Advice: The week of Gen Con is a high chance for emails to get buried and even lost. Wait 1 week following a con to recieve the most effecient response from CS teams. 🫰🏻

Friendly Reminder - While it's uncommon in our industry, Brotherwise hires me full-time to handle Customer Service. This means you're not contacting a bot, AI, or an automated response. Every email is personally written for each customer, so yelling at me is highly unhelpful.

One year at Brotherwise full time. From deep grief to big moves, this year stretched me more than I imagined. Now I’m proud to help deliver the Cosmere RPG to 60,000 fans. No perfection here. Just honesty, growth, and a team I trust. Here’s to the stories we’ll ship next. 💛

People would carry less hate if they understood the simple truth is the invisible string that connects us all is grief. That deep, unshakable ache of losing someone. There’s nothing more humanizing than a broken heart. Goodbye dubba, you were bigger than the whole sky. 💔

Who wants almost $2,000 in TTRPGs for ONLY $5, AND it goes towards TRANS RIGHTS?! 🏳️‍⚧️ 🏳️‍🌈 💖 ✌️ ✨ LINK IS HERE: itch.io/b/2946/ttrpg...

It has been an emotional roller coaster for anyone who has ties to our industry. For whatever sacrifice has to be made for each company to stay afloat all we can think about is the community and we hope that if any decision or price increase happens that you all know it’s out of necessity. 💔

The last year of my life has been prepping for this moment. 🥹🥹 Boss Monster Big Box has arrived! The perfect storage solution for the 900+ cards we’ve printed. 😍😍

I am having a blast in playing @inzoi.bsky.social ! Check out this custom outfit I styled and you can download it to wear in your game! canvas.playinzoi.com/en-US/profil...

K! So! We spent this week figuring out how the tariffs, inflation and other bullshit is going to affect business. Time to thread. For those not in the know, I'm the Director at Hachette Boardgames USA and I import games for foreign publishers and market and sell them in the US. 1/?

Happy Lunar New Year everyone but mostly sending my warm wishes to our friends at Boda, Longpack and Liya! You all work so so hard to provide board games to our community. Thank you for being such an integral part of the community! Have an amazing holiday break 💕💕

I absolutely love being able to send care packages to our troops during the Holidays. This ICU and Trauma Unit’s captain Andrea asked us kindly for a single game but no way we were just sending one. 🥰 Thank you all for your service!

I cannot find Flip 7 anywhere for the holidays to play with the family, so I wonder if I can make my own with some regular decks of cards? 🤔 @raybird.bsky.social yall got a huge hit on your hands it’s sold out everywhere! 😍😍

Astro Bot! A well deserved Game of the Year winner, congrats to the entire team for this amazing win! 🥰🥰

My entire team is absolutely incredible but I have to give a special shoutout to @meanpomelo.bsky.social for continuing to be one of the hardest working people in this industry. My laughing, crying and venting buddy, this convention wouldn’t have been the same without her. 💕💕 ilysm

This is such a surreal thing to hold. 🤯🤯🤯🤯

Missing my boys a lot today. Cannot wait to see them tomorrow. Dragonsteel Nexus has been outstanding and emotional and chaotic and truly wonderful, but there is no better hug givers than my two babes waiting at home for me. @tapor.bsky.social

I got a little emotional tonight as I sat in the audience and listened to the immense energy and support the Brotherwise Cosmere RPG team received tonight at their State of the Cosmere RPG Panel at Dragonsteel Nexus.

Truly one of my favorite games of all time. Thank you T for gifting this to Jake, we take it everywhere we go! 🥰🥰🥰 #NANA

Made it to the Brotherwise House! And already playing games with the team. Can you guess which one we played first?

The @brotherwisegames.bsky.social team is headed to Dragonsteel Nexus! We are so excited to be bringing Mistborn: The Deck Building for sale during the convention, and for anyone after I’ll have a huge restock in January so everyone will have the ability to purchase the game very soon! 💕💕

If you manage a customer support person, or team, hold space for them always but especially THIS holiday season. After election-holidays sees increases in harassment and impatience. It’s important for you in a management position to trust your team, and have their back should things escalate.

This is the absolute worst time for customer service teams. Be kind, patient and treat people the way you’d want to be treated. Know that almost every issue/error can be resolved. But harassing, yelling or threatening these employees will get you no where. Full stop.

Why do board game publishers use crowdfunding? Marketing Margin Forecasting (I wrote about this already - I'll revive that thread separately) Let's drill into the MARGIN item a bit. Regardless of company size (or perceived company size):

Outstanding review, Dan. Thank you for spending time with Mistborn: The Deckbuilding Game. 💕

@tapor.bsky.social and I play Fortnite almost every night, and every time I change skins, they take a moment to find one to match mine. 🥹🥹

"Bluesky is awesome now, for how long?" I mean, look, all things change and end, we will all die, earth will be uninhabitable in a billion years, then the sun will expand and destroy the planet, and the universe will die a slow death of proton decay. But BEFORE THAT, let's make this place fun, okay?

Ok I’m loving this new hobby. 🥹

It honestly feels amazing not having to check and doom scroll through twitter. It’s sad of what it become, but always bluer skies amiright?? 💕💕

Hey folks! The wise owls have officially made it to Bluesky. We love the community feeling of this social media site, and want to contribute to that through our posts over here. What are some things you want to see from a Board Game/TTRPG publisher on this app?

I colored these this weekend and I’m so proud with how they turned out 🥹🥹🥹🥹

IT IS WILD and absolutely heartwarming to see so many of us here already. What can we do to reach more? How can we convince our community to finally deactivate? 🥹

Officially deactivated my twitter account and feeling hella pumped for the potential in which this platform has to help propel our community efforts in the bg industry. 💙💙💙

Wait yall, being a logistics manager is no joke. So much is on your plate at all times and it requires immaculate focus and attention. Like I’m obvi crushing this new gig, but also 😅😅

Using censored words and making intentional misspellings is a flinch-reflex artifact after years of being algopilled by Twitter. There are robust moderation tools here that safeguard your posts: tactical mutes, nuclear blocks, labeling, block lists. You don't need to write in code on Bluesky.
