My first #dicetowerwest was an amazing time! I got to game with The Brothers Murph, support indie designers at the Vegas Game Market hosted by tricktaking master Taylor Reiner, and play lots of game with new friends including Punchboard Cathedral and Rolling Reggie.

Breaking: Leah Nanako Winkler's "Thirty-Six," which Shotgun Players produced, has won the 2025 Will Glickman Award for best play to premiere in the Bay Area! CONGRATS to all involved! www.sfchronicle.com/entertainmen...

Enough is enough. A new  $8.6B Exxon petrochemical plant in Calhoun County would poison air, water & communities already fighting Formosa Plastics’ pollution. My friend Diane Wilson & her neighbors deserve better.  grist.org/accountabili...

I need this 😝

The #oaklandboardgamers recently hosted a “Spice Must Flow: Dune All Ways, All Day” game day. One table played Dune (the OG one), Dune Imperium base, and then experienced players played 3v3 Dune Uprising x Bloodlines. Which table would you have been at? #boardgames #duneimperium #boardgamer

Everyone outside of the US sees Gulf of Mexico.

As habitats and species are lost to climate change, their voices disappear. A new documentary by Masha Karpoukhina tells the story of this loss through firsthand stories and a deep archive of recordings.

Scenes from the Desert Botanical Garden: it’s my 3rd time here and I always feel invigorated and inspired by the spectacular sunsets and fauna. Also sighted a #spacex rocket streak across the sky. 😑 #phoenix #desertlife

I’m gutted that federally funded programs like this are threatened with the upending of our federal system. I hope conservation work like this finds a way to survive. #nature #conservation @pbs.org youtu.be/EPeT3LMU_BQ?...

I had front row seats to see “The Thing About Jellyfish,” a poignant, dark comedy about a 12-yr old grappling with the recent death of her BFF. The set was amazing—immersive with digital projections, plus aerial work. Check it out at #BerkeleyRep if you can! #theaterbayarea #livetheater

Last night I played: 🗿 Bora Bora by #stefanfeld ⛵️ River of Gold @officedoggames.bsky.social 🐙 Cthulu: Death May Die 💥 Marvel Dice Throne X-Men: Missions @roxley.bsky.social Which would you play? All or just one of these? 😊 #boardgames #boardgameaddict #boardgamenight #boardgamegeek

Marvel Dice Throne X-Men Missions arrived! We played mission 1 - Deadpool, Gambit, Rogue and Psylocke vs Doctor Octopus 🐙 Deadpool had the coolest goodies! #boardgames #boardgamenight @roxley.bsky.social

Have you played SETI yet? @czechgamesedition.bsky.social has succeeded in publishing a highly thematic and strategic game. Love it! #boardgames #boardgamer

This show looks bonkers and I’m here for it. Who else is going? #theaterbayarea #sfbatco #livetheater #worldpremiere

Have you played the new Map 2 pack for Ark Nova? I really enjoyed Caves and upgrading ALL of my action cards. Still lost by 20 points but had a ton of fun! #boardgames @capstone-games.bsky.social

Interesting and timely discussion about the impact of tariffs on the boardgaming hobby. boardgamegeek.com/thread/34531... #boardgames #tariffs

My year in board gaming is off to a strong start. What was your most played?

Opening night of Exotic Deadly: Or the MSG Play at the @sfplayhouse.org. Wow! What a crazy, LOL-fun sho. While set in 1999, its themes are so relevant for today’s current political climate with regard to racism, fear, and identity.

Wow, so thrilled for my friend Brendon whose game, We Need to Talk, was reviewed by @danthurot.bsky.social spacebiff.com/2025/01/29/w...
