Got to play Molly House again with my mom group Friday afternoon! The community survived this time and I won by a single a joy! But when the community survives, it feels like everyone is a winner!

John Company one of my favourite games of all time, absolutely worth checking out (as is Molly House). I have them both so using the Kickstarter to pick up Pax Pamir (and maybe some metal coins for JoCo...)

finally got a chance to play John Company this past weekend and it's really something special. can't wait to get my hands on both of these!

would you like to own two of the best games yet made? yes. and you can.

I'm in for the few bucks for the John Company updated cards. I'm glad that's being offered. Also in the extras are coins and other addons from previous kickstarters, including Pax Pamir stuff!

We are now live! If you want to grab a copy of the new printings, now's your best chance. www.kickstarter.com/projects/col... This is also a bit of a strange campaign for us. To be honest, I don't even think I've ever been as nervous about a launch. I suppose that needs some explaining 🧵

We are SO back! Game developer panel for #TIPC4 with Leyla, @wisproy.bsky.social, and @colewehrle.bsky.social to talk about the development of historical video games! Tune in over at www.twitch.tv/streamingthepast

We're nearly two weeks out from launching our KS campaign for a new printing of John Company and Molly House 🎉

Alright, let's do it. Here's a little prospective reader's guide to every Thomas Pynchon novel. We'll take them in order of publication. This might be a long thread. Buckle up! 1/x

Our review of Molly House is out today! Molly House is published by Wehrlegig Games and designed by Jo Kelly and Cole Wehrle. #boardgames

I'm constantly blown away by the things people write about Molly House. This one feels especially powerful.

Finally played Molly House. Had a breakdown. Bon appetit. www.wargamer.com/molly-house/...

October 25th I'll be giving a talk for this year's Roguelike Celebration @roguelike.club among an absolutely stacked speaker lineup. I'll be talking about Oath and what happens when you apply roguelike procgen conventions to tabletop games and the sorts of strange stories that follow.

ICYMI: Issue 20 is out now! Featuring reviews of Molly House, The Old King’s Crown, Deep Regrets, Fighting Fantasy Adventures and more! Go to senetmagazine.com to order a copy or subscribe. #boardgamesarebeautiful

“the story of the #crossbronxexpressway is a lens through which we can better understand our modern world.” pre-orders charging means the game ships soon. i recorded a podcast called endnotes to hold folk over while they wait for it to arrive. @gmtgames.bsky.social [ link below]

I could not be happier to finally have a Gamefound landing page to call my own! Check out Queen of Spies, co-designed with @djackthompson.bsky.social and published by @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social, with art/graphics from Meeple Foundry. gamefound.com/en/projects/...

🚨 The John Company & Molly House Reprint Kickstarter campaign launches October 21st, 2025. www.kickstarter.com/projects/124... /🧵

Molly House will have a little spot at Essen this year 🎉 If you can spare a thumb on BGG, we just got it listed on their preview page. Help our heavy queer party game climb the ranks! boardgamegeek.com/geekpreview/...

You want Molly House

If you’re at all interested in the thematic potential of board games (and I mean that in the literary sense, not like theme on a amusement park ride), pick up Molly House on this run if you can. It’s an affecting work that touches on desire, community, jealousy, and survival.

Today we're announcing a small change in plans on our fall schedule. I'm still busy with the second edition of An Infamous Traffic and Hell Raisers is making great progress, but higher demand than anticipated and the vagaries of Trump's stupid trade policies means we need to get reprinting!

I love when people lean into it and play a really fiery, strategic game of MH. but I also love when players invest in building the community, often to their own detriment, or have such a wildly good time they throw caution to the wind, gluttonously devouring all the joy they can before they all die.

this is absolutely electric. here's some first thoughts about jay's inclusion of Molly House in this manifesto (I was nodding along while reading and honoured to see it mentioned!) and how we sort of stumbled into this approach.

good morning, i wrote a manifesto about a new direction for game design / play possumcreek.medium.com/the-expressi...

I've always wondered if the discussion around these games reflects the quality of the work or the fact that I happened to write lot about them. It's really a core insecurity I have the games that I've worked on. Would they speak without this critical framing (the designer diaries, etc)? 🧵

I'm overjoyed by this Molly House review from @mattthr.bsky.social in the latest @senetmagazine.bsky.social! It's a wonderful thing when a reviewer gets it, and Matt definitely gets it. Thank you. @colewehrle.bsky.social @wehrlegig.games

I'm so grateful to Charlie for writing up this session report. One of the downsides of running an event like this is that it's hard to get a sense of how it's all going in the moment. Well, if you want to know, give this a read.

At the beginning of August I attended Gen Con, as I usually do. This year was different. This year, I participated in an adapted megagame of John Company: Second Edition alongside 50 other people. It was insane. It was brilliant. My thoughts on the event: playerelimination.com/2025/08/25/a...

First game of John Company 2nd Edition by @wehrlegig.games and I feel like my brain must've grown a little bit. Or it shrunk a lot.

this was perfect time, as I'm working on a story about board games in the classroom (for educational purposes, that is). If you're a teacher and you use board games for didactic purposes, I'd love to hear from you! just drop a reply here and I'll reach out.

@colewehrle.bsky.social and I put together a puppet show at GenCon this year and it's one of my favorite creative pursuits I've done in a long while. Come and be charmed by cardboard 2D puppets youtu.be/h4gyN3yS2Vc?...

@miasmacorp.bsky.social @colewehrle.bsky.social @wehrlegig.games -- everyone was so highly complementary of the game and how well the theme was handled, and I already have 4 different people wanting to try it next week. Thank you for such a wonderful game about queer community.

Having an intense discussion of Ahoy with my new colleague. #gencon

What a Gen Con! Molly House + John Company are sold out in the US right now, so this year was wild and wonderful. We saw lots of folks and old friends, ran a 50 person John Company journaling TTRPG megagame, and i even played a synthesizer for an Oath puppet show. 10/10 @leder.games

Over #gencon2025 we've been playing a very special Oath chronicle. I've been taking notes throughout and, at the end of each game, have been playing the role of the court chronicler. Tonight (6pm, room 135), at the Chancellor's behest, we will present our true and accurate historie to all assembled.

Last year, this was my favorite part of Gen Con and this year it got bigger and better in every way, transforming what was a black box production to a massive piece of theater. I don't know how or when it's going to happen, but we'll do our best to put together some documentation on how to run this.

We're at Gen Con and having just a real nice time celebrating Ahoy Expansions. Cole's running Oath New Foundation sessions and I'm hopping around with Molly House and Hell Raisers. If you catch us, say hey!
