Sergio Calvos work is truly inspirational. The creativity within his approach is levels above the rest of the playing field. And it’s captured in a way that is approachable, which is amazing because you can’t just sit down and achieve this level of work without massive practice. #minipainting

@jessbasta.bsky.social hey old friend!

If you're arriving here after the #tiktokban, here's some help finding some lovely board game humans to follow.

This website lets board game designers collect feedback from playtesters, build a mailing list for their games, and more

Mr. O’Neal is 100% on the money here. TT is horribly predatory and uses interfaces that are designed to create addiction. Especially with those with existing low-attention spans. IE children and those that don’t know any better. Appreciate you… thanks for this @johnnyoneal.bsky.social

I think Adam loves Sol so much that he’s drawn to all games with a similar cover 😅

As 2025 kicks off I bet you're really excited about 2023's Rats of Wistar and want to hear more about it?! You're in luck! We featured it on our latest podcast episode: spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/o68eO0qh6Pb We also discuss Rebel Princess and ruminate on Dune: Imperium.

Saturday Morning Mini-Painting Tutorials! This week I’m posting another 4 helpful videos from some favorites, and two new channels… Faux Hammer & Byron/Artist Opus. #miniaturepainting #minipainting #goldendemon #miniatures #minis #paintingminiatures #paintingminis #miniartist #miniartists

Somehow this one got past me. But hopefully I can help you guys get to it!

Name one actor whose movies you'll watch simply because they are in them?

This is very, very familiar. If only I could experience this revelation before I spend my money on the game!

Hey miniature painters! I’m trying to find good sources of inspiration & ideation. BS, IG and YT sources are great but I’m more looking for books and other media. Help a noob out? #miniaturepainting #minipainting #goldendemon #miniatures #minis #paintingminiatures #paintingminis

New parents… Steer clear of the 24 Days of Crafts advent calendars. In reality, this package should be titled “24 Free Arguments with your Child” 😆😳 kidscrafts.org/products/202...

More excellent lessons for those of you mini painters stepping-up your game. Trovarion: excellent specific pointers base coats, washes and varnishes. Thanks, Christoph! #miniaturepainting #minipainting #goldendemon #miniatures #minis #paintingminiatures #paintingminis youtu.be/K6p6KTdUWPg?...

Contemporary wisdom…

Sergio Calvo Miniatures has quickly become a source of incredible inspiration in this new hobby I’m finding a great deal of joy (and peace of mind) in. Just amazing work. Who are YOU inspired by? #miniaturepainting #minipainting #goldendemon #miniatures #minis youtu.be/5pHpr6knG1Y?...

I continue finding more and more ways and reasons to love and respect this hobby This is great to hear

Haven’t tried this yet, but I thought some of my friends my find this helpful. I also wanted to pin it :) bsky.social/about/blog/0...

Rebirth: Limited Edition just arrived! Thank you @mightyboards.bsky.social !!! Very excited to give this baby a spin. I’d say more right now but I’m too excited to start PUNCHING CARDBOARD!!! I love this stage of crowdfunding.

A lot of people will tell you we're a Roman Palace. We are in fact a moon-sized super-weapon capable of destroying a planet. (Better with sound).

Hell yes!! I LOVED the other two. Amongst my favorites in the zombie genre.

Does anybody recognize this Root expansion? @patrickleder.bsky.social @colewehrle.bsky.social I’m not seeing this on GameFound 😂 You gotta admit it’s a fun concept!

Yep. This. Sushi Go Party tin makes me absolutely mental. A ton of wasted space and the lid doesn’t ever stay on. I believe it would take some kind of elvish spell to get that thing to stay on.

Crossbows & Catapults was one of the BEST as an 11yo kid. I’ll never forget the year I got this for Xmas, with a JVC boombox, Van Halen II and Judas Priests British Steel. Just the best. Any other fans out there?

Hey folks! Self promotion is hard so let's start a PAX Unplugged self promotion thread! Publishers, designers, writers, artists, industry and everyone else. Share your info below!

In today's pocast episode we continue revisiting the games and experiences from BGGCon. A few highlights discussed include Dune Imperium: Uprising 3v3 mode, Flip 7, and Welcome to Japan. Listen here: spotifycreators-web.app.link/e/FuuD3kaUYOb

Tainted Grail: Fall of Avalon Here we go man!! Any fans out there? All the reviews have lowered the bar a bit for me, but I don’t have much RPG experience to have many expectations. This is the first big foray into that world. I can’t wait! Really curious about this combat system.

This mini painting thing has been a BLAST! To see how much I’ve improved with just 5-6 models is pretty cool. Much more relaxing than I expected. It’s a very zen-like experience. Any advice on making things less blotchy/clumpy looking? All suggestions welcome :) #miniaturepainting #miniatures

Repost if BlueSky is now your primary social media site.

My art book is 50% off at my publisher's website, with the code "FESTIVE24" - This is the best deal I've ever seen them offer, so if you're interested in buying a copy or two, now's the time! www.abramsbooks.com/product/worl...

It would be so VERY INCREDIBLY COOL to see something like this done for #Origins for 2025. A 50th Anniversary dungeon style map would be an incredibly cool keepsake poster. I’d buy that in a heartbeat. Huge potential here imo. Would that be at all possible @jogbrogzin.bsky.social ?

An excellent and underrated euro game. Lightweight and easy to jump into. A little puzzly, a little territory-control-ish. I’ve played this a handful of times and have no intention of trading this out anytime soon.

To all of my… #boardgame #boardgames #boardgamer #boardgamers #tabletopgame #tabletopgamer #cardboardpassion #cardboardweirdos #cardboardgamelovers And everybody else reading this that stands for kindness, equality and peace for their neighbors… I’m thankful for you. Happy Thanksgiving, friends

If you’ve never played this game… look into it. Incredible fun and a game I’ll never replace.

Hey friends! What are fav games to play with YOUR family? Any off-the-beaten path suggestions for the group? I’ll be breaking out SQUIRRELS for my mother-in-law… who has the same passionate hatred of the little boogers as I do 😀 Flip 7 and Scout will also be hitting the table.

I got to play Andromedas Edge (Deluxe Edition) and it’s quite the looker. If only my photography was up to par :) Have you guys played? I greatly undervalued the ship repair functionality Design: @lukelaurie.bsky.social & Maximus Laurie Artist: Sergio Chaves Pub: Cardboard Alchemy

Let’s help this fine young talent get that last 11… shall we? Happy Friday, friends!

I'M ALIVE!!! Fuck you, Schrödinger!

Question of the day: If we all have an angel and devil on our shoulders, which one is telling us to be better with social media? While I jest… I truly don’t know :)

I’m about 300 follows shy of 4k over on my Twitch channel! It would be pretty coooool to hit 4k before New Years! What do ya say? Help a friendly, #queer #art and #minipainting streamer hit a goal? ☺️ www.twitch.tv/jamiedaggers #twitch #warhammer

Friends, Ross is an incredible human and a great resource here. Proving my point… look at these cool lists he is sharing!!! Thank you @moregamesplease.bsky.social !!

Given recent discussions… this gives me pause. Can’t Coca Cola afford to hire computer artists to generate this (uninteresting, bland, creative-black-hole) promotion? Thanks to @rockdwarf.itch.io and @ashleylynch.bsky.social for the heads up. #ai #unethical #questions bsky.app/profile/ashl...
