Very well reading. Some awesome graphic design going on here.

I wrote about fictional corporations set in the STELLAR EMPIRE universe. And I’m a marketing nerd, so I made mock up brand documents for them. 😅 @jamr-media.bsky.social @searsandrew.bsky.social @dyc3r.bsky.social open.substack.com/pub/stellare...

A great month for games! We played a game every day in January and got some favourites to the table! Four new to us games: IUNU, Planted, Dorf Romantik: Sakura, and Everdell Duo.

I had the pleasure of talking to Ross about #CrystalHeart a few years ago, and there are so many other fascinating interviews with boardgame (and boardgame -adjacent) artists on his website. So glad to hear he's planning to do more. Go check it out!

To the #photographers out there, specifically the canon folks: Thoughts? Canon R6 Mark ii or Canon R5 (not mark ii)

This scene always gets me. #Terminator2

(RE)Building the World: @dyc3r.bsky.social walks us through creating a map for a fantasy world decades in the making. www.disasterparts.com/p/rebuilding... #fantasy #author #fantasymap

POV: You're listening while we explain the Stellar Empire Lore. @dyc3r.bsky.social is in the background, adding new characters, planets, and wars as they pop into his head. @searsandrew.bsky.social just created a new game off the top of his head while you were reading this caption.

The BlueSky Board Game Feed passed 3,000 daily views for the first time this week. It's great seeing so many people using it; hopefully, getting as much joy as I do is lovely. We're currently averaging about 300 board game posts a day. Excited to see the community grow!
