Here's a closer look at the illustration in question :) [1/2] #boardgames #cardgames #boardgamedesign #gameart

This Thursday I will be bringing Torin Ten-Trees and his troll hunting company to Dark Dreams, a #fantasy book event alongside fellow island authors @kategateleyauthor.bsky.social and @kaiewrites.bsky.social. All are welcome! #bclit #amreading #fantasybooks #vikings #dragons #magic

Big thanks to everyone that play tested Warlord Protocol at @dundracon.bsky.social 2026! We got some great feedback on the game and had a lot of fun in the process!

@ericraue.bsky.social Thanks for brining Relics of the Mind to the playtesting group last night - will look forward to a game at TCTC in March

I want to thank people who took the time to read the document and watch the video I shared. It is also important to me that it is understood: I do not believe Matthew, Paula, Monique or Naveen (or anyone else) had involvement (or awareness) of the actions the owner of Game Night Picks took. 1/4

We've been hard at work overhauling Warlord Protocol's combat system to include more interaction. And a portion of that also means giving each card type more defined roles within the game. The reminder text on our basic cards give you a window into the changes to come :) #boardgames #boardgamedesign

Latest anti-writer scam is a fake Goodreads Reading Challenge, using a gmail rather than a goodreads domain email. At this point any genuine contact is going to get lost in the torrent of spam. AI semi-targeted mass messaging is the parasite that kills the host.

Rules video for my new game, Halls of Asgard! Thanks to Ryan Guerra from How I Roll for creating this killer "Rip Up the Rules" video - if you want to learn how to play, this is definitely your stop. 🔥 Kickstarter launches in May 2026 🔥 youtu.be/XLz6sCgRoMo
