In this episode of the Power Curve: How many creature allies would they have to print to make Rod of Animalism playable? And, a new best card in the game?! youtu.be/l3mp7Odh4Xs

we need to talk about that Ring Super Bowl ad

Amber Glenn, a queer Texan who started ice skating at the stonebriar mall in frisco at age 5, who plays magic the gathering, is an olympic gold medalist

Had a great time with our preview play of Stellar Ventures, attempting to sell out all of space capitalism to the aliens.

Stellar Ventures always plays out so differently - no game is the same! Thanks @optimalplay.bsky.social, @benmandelker.bsky.social, and Jordan for the awesome playthrough! youtu.be/EMCmExPFgK8?...

Boooo I've always hated the community lingo "cluever" for someone who focuses on clues in Arkham, and FFG's "new player" article now codified it. 🤢

Something to make you smile this evening.

All time moment

Heated Rivalry episode 5 is the hardest I've cried in years?!

"We see the tremendous weight of grief, anger, and fear that so many are carrying right now. No one should have to live with constant fear. Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and to be treated with dignity." Read more: stonemaiergames.com/we-stand-wit...

Tried out Dragons of Etchinstone last night! It played out kind of weirdly - I had almost no trouble at all cruising to the end game taking very little damage, then got trounced by the boss dragon when I drew a bad hand in the endgame. Not sure if just bad luck or poor leveling choices!

Escape!, the novel by @stephenfishbach.bsky.social just arrived! Perfect way to spend the time before Survivor 50 finally starts.

Now get rid of the rest of them too

Hahaha these people are evil but are also a lot weaker than they want us to think.

Lance Bass said hi to my dog yesterday

Trials for every ICE member.

12:01am on Ryan's birthday. Day seems to be off to a good start.

Ryan and I got Kingdom Rush back to the table last night, which was long overdue. We started from the beginning and scored three stars in the first two scenarios, actually stickering the map this time. I kinda can't believe this is the only game I've seen do polyominoes as damage, it's so clever!

This makes me feel more patriotic than the national anthem ever could

I'm guessing pivoting this game to a licensed Invincible tie-in has worked out well for them business-wise, but I miss the Astro Knights. It was quirky and fun sci-fi and I just have no knowledge or interest in this show. Ah well.

Played chapter 7 of Clank Legacy 2! This one had a timer mechanism to its main story contracts which was cleverly executed, but caused us to blitz those objectives then not have much going on for the remaining 2/3 of the session. Still a lot of fun as always.

love this for Warhammer, James Workshop has done it again frvr.com/blog/warhamm...

We're planning a trip to Japan and a reel my husband was watching just highly recommended getting an eye exam and glasses while In Tokyo, because it's so much more affordable than the US. So that's a nice peek at the state of things.

Lol

Played a couple more games of Riftbound last night with precon decks - a 1v1 and a 4 player free for all. Avoided having a grindy endgame when the Lux player nuked everyone's big single units and grabbed all 3 battlegrounds as soon as she was at match point.

We should all sit with this ICE murder. Any one of us could be executed by ICE, and our government wouldn’t bat an eye. Instead they’d just lie about us to the world.

Like when I was on a bank robbery trial jury and we made sure to give them kudos for a heist brilliantly planned and executed.

I want to be more active here and I've always enjoyed @octavianbgg.bsky.social's game report posts, so I'm going to make it a resolution to share my #boardgame plays here this year! Whether it'll be literally every game or just the highlights is TBD.

For any Dimension 20 nerds out there, we WILL be bringing the dome to Capitol Hill if I win.

🥶

Multiplayer civil war coop gameplay! Can we take down Captain America at this game of shield frisbee?

Just a couple chapters in but loving this so far! A deep dive into reality competition show history and how it reflects greater society. Super sharp and fun read, by a dude I've listened to hundreds of hours of for reasons I cannot explain.

No new Marvel Champions core set on the horizon! I would have lost that bet. #paxunplugged

Wow, so none of the Arkham Horror Chapter 2 investigators even change class for their new iteration, huh? Sort of surprising and disappointing. #paxunplugged

Tend is the heaviest flip-and-write we've ever encountered. Like literally, the box is huge and weighs like 40 pounds. youtu.be/6oK7W1gA7UM #boardgames

I was in the audience for this and it got such a huge reaction. Not surprised they cut it but certainly disappointed!

Regicide Legacy out of context

Asked ChatGPT to identify this weird mushroom thing I've noticed growing in my yard and it insisted it was just a discarded piece of bread.

It's Halloween and the seas are rough. Can the Atlantica make it home safe before the horrors, deep ones, and our own friends tear it to pieces? youtu.be/fna4PqgJvfQ #boardgames

So the inspector and our remodel electrician got into a big argument and the inspector stormed out and left. Is this good?

The New York Times publishes a handy guide to which federal forces are terrorizing us at any moment. This is America, 2025.

We're live tonight, trying out the gorgeous new hotness The Old King's Crown on stream! #boardgames www.youtube.com/live/wzQMwap...

If your opponent in a tabletop game forgets an important rule, you have an obligation to remind them even if it screws you over.

For your blocking convenience.

Incredible.

This Welcome to the Moon board has got to be a world record.

It's October and there are a bunch of commercials with terrible acting and jokes lacking a punchline. I can only assume these are all football players?

So excited to be live with @nightcrewgames.bsky.social trying Cyberpunk legends on their stream! Swing by and see the action!
