Today is a good day.

We had a good #boardgamenight this last week! We played Avatar: The Last Airbender board game, Star Realms, and what’s become a weekly favorite, Thunder Road! We often end up getting looks with people shouting as the dice are rolled and the cars blow up. #boardgames

I would be remiss for not mentioning this to those in #vrchat. As someone who put a lot of time into helping create the story behind this show, I am thrilled to see it coming to life! Join us this weekend easily our best show to date! You can also watch on Twitch. Hit up our discord for the info.

For me, coffee blows my mind. Somebody was like "yeah this fruit is fine but what if we take the pits, roast them, grind them into a powder, and then pour hot water through them?" Crazy genius that the world should give thanks for.

I guess it's time to do a race.

Well, some local people are about to be very happy about board game finds at the local charity shop.

I don't talk much about my personal life here. I'm debating maybe just slightly changing that? Dunno. We'll see if it lasts. Anyway, here's a fun fact about me: I read tarot. Ironically I learned on a thoth deck so 99% of decks confound me (being based on RWS). I am finally learning them.

A party horror game? What could go wrong? Our review of This Game Is Killer: Alien on Board by @smirkanddagger.bsky.social, a clever small board game that recreates a classic horror movie as you betray your friends to survive. #Boardgames spritesanddice.com/reviews/game...

To think it was just 6 months ago I posted regularly. Feels like forever. Anyway have a cat update!

It's there! Go grab a copy if you haven't played it already!

I just want to feel well enough again to go to game night and play a full game of Red Dust Rebellion.

While I agree, can we also take a step back and realize this country is so far gone that we have a concept of a "normal" government shutdown?

Dig this piece! One aside I think about a lot is how today's big budget games want to tell mature, nuanced stories, but still want killing to be the central thing you do in them. And as a result, so many of the those stories have to be ABOUT violence in some way. Lots circling the same ideas!

I hear that the Epic store will soon be offering Nightingale on its free offerings. I played over 200 hours wrote about it. Then played 200 more hours after the Realms Rebuilt update. If you were curious, I happen to have an early access review right here for you: spritesanddice.com/reviews/nigh...

Hello everyone, Tonight we'll be having our second ever Charity Auction, this time for Trans Lifeline! At 7:45pm EST, the instance will open. At 8pm EST the auctioning will start. More details in our discord at: www.Discord.gg/Luxe-Nova #VRChat #LuxeNovaVR #Translifeline

Real talk. Woke up feeling grateful for my 2 big groups of friends today: the SnD crew/local boardgame night folks and my VR group. As talk about diversity in our spaces only grows, I am so thankful for such understanding groups of cool, diverse folx that have pushed my own perception.

Repair cafe day! Time to help fix some things.

Anyone who says board game aesthetics don't matter, only mechanics, is lying. This fun little game (Omnigaea) is enhanced greatly by its artwork. All the folks I've shown it to have loved it. #boardgames

Always in awe of what our media team produces, combined with the talented folks lending their voices to some new characters appearing Soon™️ Again, if you're a mutual with VR, and you HAVEN'T reached out, please let me show you some of the most creative, fun experiences you can find in #VRChat.

It's September, which means it is time for our yearly #FinishTheDamnGame month! It's a contest to beat old games from your backlog, and we give out game codes and gift cards and celebrate what we already have. Interested? Find out the rules here! www.spritesanddice.com/news/finish-...

We already have 25 games entered into #FinishTheDamnGame month! Thank you for everyone participating. There's still plenty of time to join in a month of celebrating the games we already own and have meant to wrap up. Read the rules in the article, and we hope to see you soon!

Playing am old favorite this week. #boardgames

Realizing I've spent an entire weekend at a con and not posted a single picture. They had pinball machines in their arcade.

I mean...Yeah we're bringing in a few nice things with this one. J knows his line!

Day late from me bc I'm bad at socials. But you still have tonight to come see the show as well! It's free. You only have to be online to join when doors open. All the details are in our Discord. Including the Twitch stream if you can't make it in VR.

You ever go to board game night and just... chill for a bit and not actually play any games?

I’m doing victory laps in my kitchen right now!!!! 💃🏼 CGE just announced they are going to be giving away 100% of the profit from their Harry Potter game to pro-trans charities!! www.instagram.com/p/DNG48n-IVP...

We were recently made aware of disturbing and offensive artwork in the new game Ace of Spades by Devir. We have contacted Devir regarding this matter. Fellow hobbyists: we must strive to be better humans. We can’t simply “look the other way” when an issue doesn’t affect us directly.

Today's musings: I think part of my silence on social media stems from my desire to live more in the moment. I don't want to grab a phone to share everything as it's happening and then the moment has passed. I also don't really feel the need to be performative online. What this means is...

Selling a bunch of board games I no longer play at game night tonight, but also having to haul a lot of cardboard when there's a rain forecast. All but two fit in my board game bag, and the last two still have plastic wrap on them! 🤌

This new #MHWilds update really has me feeling nostalgic for some reason.

Tonight is a very good night.

Surprise! I'm streaming for tonight's @spritesanddice.bsky.social community game night! We'll be playing Helldivers 2, and I'm planning on dragging my friends into some of their first Super Helldives. Shhh don't tell the new recruits 🤫 Live at the top of the hour! www.twitch.tv/spritesanddice

Hey everyone! Friend of ours Eroivas is doing an 8 hour stream of Celeste to raise money for The Trevor Project! If you want to watch some good gameplay and help a good cause, stop on by and say hello.

demoing mass effect at the asian board games festival in penang. first board game con since before covid. feels really good.

I have had the urge lately to dig up Twilight Struggle and see if I can find an interested play buddy again.

Borgor.

Shared with permission from Osama. The games industry is so fuckin cooked

When was the last time I even posted here? Profile says a week and a half. I am bad at the socials. Here. Have some vacay photos.

Wife is off today, which means some midday Wingspan! The time has come to finally get the rest of these wingspansions mixed in. #boardgames

What’s your sign? Wait, I got this one - poor @theadamfactor.bsky.social pulled this fortune cookie while we were playing Netrunner pre pandemic. It’s one of my favorite pictures of me.

I love this damn game. This damn silly silly game. #boardgames

Doing writing work and alternating with playing Street Fighter 6, I have learned, do not mesh. My hands are a jittery mess of nerves firing at lightning speeds. Even typing this skeet is a herculean effort in focus.

Im going to Luxian Lunacy, my first Raindance Immersive event of this year. Were at a theater with robot hosts going around in the preshow even.

And we are live to watch Summer Game Fest 2025! Come hang out with our community and talk excitedly about the reveals! www.twitch.tv/spritesanddice #SGF #SummerGameFest #Videogames

Tonight I'm finally back at game night, and doing something a little different! We're doing a 1-shot cyberpunk adventure.

Casual wingspansion day! Finally trying out Oceania in a much beloved household title! #boardgames

How's the tabletop side of my Bluesky doing? Sorry I haven't been posting about board games and ttrpgs lately. There's just been so much going on in the VR performance end. I have a ttrpg review currently in the works and am trying desperately to get back to board game night next week.

"Balance" is a lie by Big TTRPG, told to sell more books.

Something amazing happened recently 🎉 Observa Theater has been nominated for Best Live Performance at @raindance.org Immersive Festival It's a huge honor and this means that Luxian Lunacy will come back one more time! Thank you everyone on the team who worked on the show and behind the scenes!
