Very cute April Fools treatment on MTG Arena - all the cards look dinged up!

Melody Lanes playing ‘Standing Outside A Broken Phonebooth With Money In My Hand’ right now god bless

Giving Cloud Strife cap’s shield and Aragorn’s sword lol

Horrified series gotta be one of my fave cooperative games, so curious how a D&D theme will work!

Hey MTG players past, present, and future - a lot of cool stuff coming out this year so we put together a roundup of everything coming in 2025 at @techraptor.net techraptor.net/tabletop/fea...

This is a really, really great way to learn the game. Great for younger players and anyone a bit rusty on how TCG’s work!

Hey Warhammer fans - I tried a new format with this one, getting all the useful info in one place for my review - let me know your thoughts!

Looking for last minute gifting options for the Tabletop Gamers in your life? I put together a Tabletop Accessories gift guide - perfect for the gamer who probably already has all those rulebooks, but still deserves a present! techraptor.net/tabletop/fea...

OH at PAX: "I think an important quality for dice is mouth feel."

Some of the best upcoming games I’ve played at #paxunplugged from L to R: Malediction, Overgrown, Whisker Wars, and Creating the Cosmos!

Who else is heading to #paxu this weekend!? I’ll be there with a press pass repping @techraptor.net !! Cal is filling up with meetings but I’d love to meet with indie creators where possible!!

I feel like I don’t know how to use Bluesky because most posts I see are people being like “Bluesky just uploaded a new kernel onto the sub-cloud, divesting data by three. Y’all this. Is. Huge.”

Guess which tiktok took 1/100th as much time to make as the other

Walking around I forget how much has changed… we used to be a proper borough

If you see this post your bird art! I went on vacation in St. Lucia and took an art class at the resort like the old man I am hahaha - when I told the teacher my name is Giaco, he said we have to paint the St. Lucian National Bird, known colloquially as the "Jacquot" 😂 Real bird on the right

A lot of new followers coming in! Hi! As a re-intro, I’m Giaco! Tabletop editor at @techraptor.net - overseeing a great team writing up fun features, in-depth reviews, interviews, daily news and more! From light board games to crunchy Warhammer points updates, if it’s on the tabletop… we’re on it!

Bumping this one more time today with the #ttfeed #boardgames #tabletop to make sure we get some eyes on this! This article’s just the start, I’ll be talking to designers, artists, shipping managers, customer service - all kinds of people across the Asmodee USA org!

Island cat alert! This is not a drill we’ve got an island cat gracing us with their presence on vacation!

Hey board game fans, want an inside look at the business? I spoke with Julien Sharp, the US GM of Asmodee, about running such a large section of an org!

Ooops I forgot about Bluesky hiiii

Games Workshop's pretty smart for this one - tiered levels of starter sets based on your familiarity with the hobby/ability to invest to get started.

Games Workshop sent us the four Warhammer Age of Sigmar Dawnbringer kits, and after hours of building they all came out pretty sick! Special shout-out to my horse riding pal

Hi new Tabletop, Warhammer, Board Game, and RPG fans! I’m Giaco, the Tabletop Editor at @techraptor.bsky.social ! What are you playing right now??

My top 3 thoughts on the new Warcry box set Nightmare Quest: - The warbands are visually stunning - They play differently enough from one another to make the game balanced (mostly) but varied - The Realmshaper Engine as included terrain is wild! Read my full preview at @techraptor.bsky.social

This is my cat Prince Henry. Please greet the young man.

Friendly reminder to follow @techraptor.bsky.social - we write a lot of really thoughtful content about video games and tabletop. So much earnest brainpower goes into the site it’s shocking.

My toxic trait is always, always forgetting to plug my laptop in and then wondering why I have 10% battery after a day of zoom calls

Played a game of Oltree tonight, just absolutely gorgeous, and one of the Simplest (but still satisfying) storytelling coop games out there!

These little dudes were not the easiest the build (very fiddly), but I think it’s adorable that in Star Wars Shatterpoint the droids come 3 to a base

My first impressions look at Star Wars Shatterpoint is now live! Give a look! https://techraptor.net/tabletop/features/star-wars-shatterpoint-first-impressions

Last night, on Star Wars eve, Yoda (aka Atomic Mass Games) left me a very special present… Star Wars Shatterpoint! First Impression article coming later today!

Brookfield Place going crazy with the tulips

Can do!

New 40k datasheet has been posted for Roboute Guilliman, who I’ve always read in my head as “Robert” - Games Workshop’s really killing it with their new formatting

“I dreamt something bad happened at work” come on giaco get yr shit together

Went to my first board game night at Hinterlands Bar in Brooklyn, and on top of playing Nidavellir and Ra for the first time, was blown away by the old Warhammer rules plastering the bathroom walls!

The Harbinger of Decay just got announced for Warhammer Age of Sigmar and I love his little bell

This has to be the most stacked Warhammer 40K starter we’ve seen in a long time! Truly freaking over here, the system is ready for this big, seemingly approachable reset

The new showpiece miniature for Games Workshops LOTR wargame is so good! This is going to be so annoying to put together and paint but I need it

Good morning! Another day of Googling Dragon Magazine and a random number - Issue 27, ilysm

Google Dragon Magazine and a random number and show me those wild D&D covers. This is from issue 89 and I love it so much

Al Dudley, giant pretzels, huge steins of beer… DSK in Brooklyn has literally everything I need. In my opinion one of the best Biergartens in the city!

Trinity Churchyard in Manhattan - I walk past here on my way to work and (blooming flowers aside) it gives big Dark Souls energy

When these trees on Eastern Parkway are in full bloom the vibes are impeccable.

Just got two new board games (+expansion) in from Hachette that I haven’t reviewed yet! Which should I start with?

Look at this little man just taking a breather

Wild to see The Lion & Retinue preorders sold out on Games Workshop’s website! I reviewed the set prior to its release and I get the froth, it’s an incredible model with powerhouse rules

Got utterly heartbroken at the thrift store

I just reviewed the upcoming Warhammer Age of Sigmar Seraphon Army Set, great models that don’t perfectly work together but form a good building block for a Seraphon list https://techraptor.net/tabletop/reviews/warhammer-seraphon-army-set-review

What Tabletop board game do you get to the table most often? For me it’s definitely Dominion - even after all these years it’s still a game we play almost weekly
