In Terra Mystica, you could theoretically calculate potential moves until the end of the game since there is no random element. www.juhanapettersson.com/100-boardgam...

Beatrice Dalle is quite striking as herself in Lux Æterna.

I've seen first reactions to the Vampire book Live from the Succubus Club so I think those who put in pre-orders have had their PDF versions. The idea for this book was based on some real "back to basics" thinking. Anne Rice. Leather pants. Red wine and murder ballads. Rock star vampires!

The emotions you experience when a co-player takes that crucial plowing action, thus destroying your chances of feeding your family come harvest-time, are indescribable. www.juhanapettersson.com/100-boardgam...

You have to be very brave indeed to travel by sea in a game set in the world of the Cthulhu Mythos. www.juhanapettersson.com/100-boardgam...

Corpses sure pile up in the shadow of the clocktower! www.juhanapettersson.com/100-boardgam...

This is the most terrifying horror game I've ever played. It works because the more you think about it, the worse you'll feel (complimentary).

Okay, as promised, here are my 25 boardgames that would make good presents for historians or the historically-inclined. - I've played them and enjoyed them - They have to have a historical theme or be related to the practice of history - They were within the first 25 I thought of...

After ten extraordinary years with White Wolf, the World of Darkness, and Paradox Interactive, I’m closing this chapter with deep gratitude, and beginning another. Working on Vampire has been one of the greatest honors of my career. You can read my farewell note here.... 🦇🍷

Despite the controversy, Horses is only shocking if you're unfamiliar with the history movies, theater, literature, or basically any art form that does not have stats. aftermath.site/horses-indie-g...

So this happened… I am White Wolf’s new Lead Game Designer! I will figure out how to post the whole text here, but there is a picture with the announcement and the alt text has the full thing! #TTRPG #RPGLATAM #VtM #WoD #DnD #NotDnD #ShowYourWork

Good to see Ireland, Spain, Slovenia and the Netherlands doing the right thing. It feels shameful that we in Finland remain committed to supporting genocide.

Obviously this is impossible because Alan Moore looks like he's genetically a wizard, it's simply impossible to imagine what he would look like as a schoolboy oh there he is.

One of the fun things about working on an IP is that you learn to appreciate what other people working on it are doing on a very nuanced level. In the last few years, I worked a lot on Werewolf: The Apocalypse books for the roleplaying game. I've also been playing... (con't)

Surely there has never been a better game than Heroquest: www.juhanapettersson.com/100-boardgam...

Particularly in roleplaying games, it's really useful if the players share an instinctive understanding of concepts like "month", "year", or "day". Things become difficult when a year is 500 days which are 20 hours long and you learn someone is 56 years old. What does that mean, culturally?

As a Nordic person who was a child in the 80s it was nice to play Tales from the Loop: The Board Game in which Swedish kids explore mysteries in the 80s. www.juhanapettersson.com/100-boardgam...

Brazil's system dealt with their wannabe dictator. I hope that in the U.S. and Europe, we'll manage the same. Developments like the breaking of the firewall in the European Parliament are not promising.

Many folks' final assessment of Star Wars Galactic Starcruiser---the closest thing to a multi-million-dollar larp experience we've ever gotten and one of Disney's highest-ever-rated attractions---came from a 4-hour complaint video about its game app, instantly accepted as sacred dogma.
