@amabel.bsky.social is my podcast guest this week, and as usual, our conversation was an absolute delight. youtu.be/IbEpCnCLLBQ

Love the marketing happening here.

What are books that changed the way you think? For me, Habit by Charles Duhigg is one of them. Highly recommend it if you have a chance to read it. It's one of the few physical books in the "business" world that I own. amzn.to/43JmA7p

I had a chance to playthrough a prototype version of #Lairs by @kidstablebg.bsky.social for @tabletop.express the past few weeks. Check out what I thought (hint: I liked this one quite a bit)

Knowing these things as the Education Secretary is only part of your job - minor detail there... www.msn.com/en-us/money/...

Stonemaier’s “pretty big gamble” with large Wyrmspan print run pays off, as soaring sales help company’s revenue surge to $23.7m boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @stonemaiergames.com

What is illegal about a boycott? (Nothing) "Radical Left Lunatics, as they often do, are trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla, one of the World’s great automakers, and Elon’s ‘baby,’ in order to attack and do harm to Elon, and everything he stands for,”

Yikes. Assembling quotes for a reprint of a $40 MSRP board game. The latest to come in is a US printer with a price over $18 per copy. (If $40 is the MSRP, then we are actually getting 40% of that amount when we sell to distributors, or $16, and we pay the cost of shipping to them.)

Did you know that #CompanionQuest by @ghostfiregaming.bsky.social is now live on Kickstarter? We had a chance to check out this cooperative game with some enjoyable dice rolling and dice mitigation.

Choo Choo! Kicking off our Top 20 Games Series tonight at 9 pm. Join us live and let us know what you think of Anthony's Top 20 #BoardGames of all time.

What he said.

Final product is going to be stellar - based on their previous work.

KOSMOS has a small clearance section on their site, which includes several board games. If you use the code WELOVESTEM, you get buy one get one for 50% off on already reduced sale items. store.thamesandkosmos.com/collections/...

I'd like to know who thought Ichiro wasn't a HOF.

We knew this was coming. @erininthemorning.com does a good breakdown of what's in the document in the thread that follows.

Lacking words today - so I am going to focus on board games.

The narrative of "Trump saving TikTok" is disturbing to me. This is the same man who effectively started this conversation of banning it in 2020.

We're live with our latest episode of Call Aboard - The Live Call-In Show and we're back with part two of our Cull | Play | Shelve series. Find out what games @ryanesp.in is going to Cull,Play and Shelve - and let us help you do the same with your own collection!

In 2015, I asked the question - "Why Do You Social" - as part of my podcast - The Why I Social Podcast. With the podcast back, stay tuned - finally going to bring that podcast over into it's own account here on @bsky.app. if you've never listened, check it out at open.spotify.com/show/0aYXvby...

Fantastic trailer by Marvel. Can't wait for the return of #DareDevil

Big credit to the customer service team over at @vidiq.bsky.social. The TLDR: I didn't realize I was paying for two accounts - one that I had upgraded. They fixed the issue, took the previous month's payment, and applied it to the other. A masterclass in customer service.

We're going to host a live holiday party on @tabletopexpress.bsky.social at the end of December with this one if people are still on the fence (which you shouldn't be)!

If you backed Lairs (or are considering it) - tune in tonight - I'm having a chat with designer Christopher Westmaas and would love to see what questions you have for him! #BoardGames

Back in Dallas yet again for some good ol' fun! On this LIVE episode (11:00 AM CST) at BGG.CON in Dallas, Texas, Mik and Starla give their top 5 games of 2024... so far! These include only new releases from 2024 that they have really enjoyed! WATCH: www.youtube.com/watch?v=I17m...

A nice guide to getting ready for #PAXUnplugged. Made me think about how I prepare as well. www.spritesanddice.com/features/gui...

Watching Tyson/Paul can best be visualized with this.

Can you tell I'm excited for PAXU? Updated the Discord accordingly in preparation.

I told the @tabletopexpress.bsky.social team I think we can hit 1k subs by the end of the year. I am 95% sure they think I'm crazy - but in 45 days if I hit that number, that means I'm not, right? [help me prove them wrong - and say hi to me at PAXU too!] And now, my regularly scheduled content

I'm learning - through the logical comparison - that Threads seems to have inherited significantly more spam from X than this platform.

The Express has been busy lately and has apparently ignored this platform. Until today :) Come aboard the Express today at www.youtube.com/@TabletopExp...

Choo Choo. The Express departs tonight at 9 p.m. ET and the team invites you to call in with YOUR favorite two-player (only) games. We'll be sharing our favorites as well! www.youtube.com/live/B9IfFjH...

I guess I'm back

@downtowntbrown.bsky.social Any chance you'll be at PAXU?

Last week's video featured a conversation with Gil Hova.

My daughter got to attend the wedding of a woman she admires - her teacher of 2.5 years. I cannot express how much joy this image gives me.

Is anyone using Threads more these days? Trying to manage my time appropriately on these platforms - and I want to make sure I continue to connect with the Board Game Community which seemed to embrace this platform.

Tonight, Anthony is taking the reigns of Creators Corner and hosting Connie Vogelmann (designer of Apiary) for a chat! Tune in at 9 p.m. ET to learn more about Connie and Apiary.

I'm fully convinced the board game community is what keeps me going a lot of days. Appreciate your communities.

Question for those here. Are you also still using Threads? If so, where are ou spending more time?

Come say hi to Kyle Rowen, designer of Vagrantsong, tonight on Creator's Corner! I'm itching to learn more about his design process - and would love to see what questions you have for him. Join us live at 9 p.m. ET

What day is it?

Here's hoping the new TWD spinoff gives a proper explanation as to why Daryl is in France (just started, watching Ep. 1). I don't know why I still watch things related to The Walking Dead, but Dead City was actually enjoyable.

Just getting back from my family's annual fall trip together to a pumpkin patch and farm. Can't help but think about what was missing. You're in our hearts, Dad. Photo is from last year.

This early sketch of Fit to Print is a great example of how I handle most numbers in games: pick a value/size that seems right, and if it continues to seem right don't change it. Thus, the Sunday board size never changed once. Neither did the number of buildings in Tiny Towns.

Great night of games with some of the @tabletopexpress.bsky.social community tonight on Discord/BGA. Grateful for this hobby.

Meanwhile, on that other site. mashable.com/article/twit...

The Tabletop Express is live now - call in and be part of the show! www.youtube.com/watch?v=TyfK... Tonight's call-in topic - what games did you play this past month? [all welcome, first-time callers, don't worry - we're super friendly!]

I have some very fetch news, Mean Girls Musical in THEATERS - If you followed me on Twitter over the years, then you understand why this is incredibly exciting to me. The only thing that's off is the release date, which should have been on October 3rd.

Work in a nutshell today. Had a form scheduled to be taken down at 5:30. At 5:29, asked to send the form to someone so they could fill it out over the weekend. Yeah, about that.
