Many 20th Century board game designers remain uncredited. This year I've tracked down designer info for 18 games. It's required artifact acquisition, access to newspaper archives, books, and even a trip from Detroit to Connecticut. My patreon producers made this possible. patreon.com/amabelholland

Running the Tabletop Games Blog means paying for hosting, software, and other things. If you want to help me continue to roll the dice and shuffle the cards, find out more here: tabletopgamesblog.com/support 🎲 🙂👍 #TabletopGaming #BoardGames #IndieBoardGames

Moldvay Basic is my favorite edition of #DnD and I’m excited to check these out! 🧵

@hauntedtable.bsky.social had a blast running triangle agency for the first time. Question though. When someone uses an anomaly ability or asks the agency do they have to spend the qa related to that roll to adjust dice or can they spend any qa?

It's true. Ask us things. We've recorded one already!

Hey heads up, The Game Changers paperback is on the shelves in most good UK bookshops right now. If you would like some positive reading about how we are all deeply connected as humans, & how games build communities in the darkest times, you might find something of value in it.

Mmmh. Bday cake for breakfast.

You still have five days to go to back full send. The money goes straight to making the book and stretch goals but idk i might pay myself £20 for a pint in a london pub to celebrate funding www.kickstarter.com/projects/lau...

I enjoyed reading this manifesto, and I'm keen to see if/how this inspires others and creates new modes of relation through game design. Due to the character count, I'm putting my deeper thoughts into a thread below...

As the dust continues to settle on all things Tabletop Scotland 2025, we wanted to share our attendance figures with you. #TTS2025 #BoardGames #RPG #TTRPG 1/3

The original thread doesn't appear to allow me to respond, but I found this an interesting read. While there are lots of interesting comments and further explanation on topic, there's one thing I want to ask @jdragsky.bsky.social about this:

CMON continues its battle against heavy losses by selling on its Hel and Anastyr IPs to Don’t Panic Games - just 18 months after acquiring them from financially-devastated board game crowdfunding specialist Mythic Games: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20...

Gross

I had the misfortune to encounter an AI podcast that someone 'created' in a content creators group. It was terrible. It was about a board game, got rules wrong, and sounded like the presenters forgot how to speak sometimes. Also how you going to get folk to pay $1 an episode. So dumb.

Thanks to everyone who came along to the pub quiz at @tabletopscot.bsky.social this year. We had a blast at running it as always and hope you had fun playing. We will be back for some of the day tomorrow for more fun and games.

Ok folks. Leaders is legit good. The production is bonkers for this price point. Check it out at @tabletopscot.bsky.social #tts2025. @hachettebguk.bsky.social

What I'm saying is not "I need a viral video someone please make one" but rather that the KS gods apparently love to stress me out before making everything okay at the last minute If anyone does want to make a viral video though please feel free

Solving tabletop's discoverability issues proved too much for one person, but the creator of the Tiny Table Index hopes others will pick up the torch.

@sanildefanso.bsky.social it is even weirder in real life

Thanks to everyone we met and played games with today @tabletopscot.bsky.social. Looking forward to more games and chats tomorrow as well as running the pub quiz!

Kingdom Crossing from @hachettebguk.bsky.social and @sorrywearefrench.bsky.social is a super charming worker placement/movement game that didn't blow me away but was fun to play.

Game two was Personal Demons from @tettix.bsky.social. This is a really cool spatial puzzle. Demos all weekend. #tta2025

First purchase of the convention. The zone from @peregrinecoast.press.

Blades '68 playbooks: the Paranormalist, and the Hull.

My partner has had a large, surprise, bill land on the doormat. Would you do me a favour and buy approximately 90 copies of my latest game? adapress.itch.io/othership

I am intrigued by this

Were you 20 or older during the height of the Satanic Panic? I'm researching that period for a game *and* novel, and I'd like to interview you about your firsthand experiences if you'd like to share them! (1/2)

Quiz assembly for @tabletopscot.bsky.social

Sharing again for the lazy Sunday crowd. Fun times in Shadow of the Weird Wizard as we're joined by @clintscheirer.claimtogamepodcast.com @giantbrain.co.uk & others to tackle a vermin infestation and religious disagreement with dance and panache. It's like Demonlord, but a bit more sanitised. A bit.

The quiz for @tabletopscot.bsky.social is fully operational. Tech check for next weekend

✨We wanna hear your women-made indie TTRPG recommendations!✨ Let’s hear them, folks! Extra points for links, and don’t forget to check people’s pronouns to avoid misgendering.

We need 2 more backers until I can release stretch goals! (At 75% funded) I think we'll make it today!

This is a great thread and reflects some of my own experience teaching games to folk, like my parents, who have more trad games as their background. I have also found they can tolerate some complexity if the theme of the game intrigues and draws them in

@peregrinecoast.press I was wondering if it might be possible to order something with you for pickup at @tabletopscot.bsky.social ?

I've been up to some more nonsense with those Unconventional GMs youtu.be/bxa_uBSoqjA?...
