Today is an awesome day to celebrate your favorite local businesses. (Like your FLGS!) If you're out and about, explore your community's bakeries, coffee shops, book stores, and more. #ShopSmall #SmallBusinessSaturday

This is an immaculate photo.

Stuff like this is why I love PAX U.

Combatting poverty and hunger in this city will take every single one of us. Myself included.

A little update to the yearly article I write about con crash! Hope anyone who went to PAX Unplugged is being kind to themselves this week.

With another PAX Unplugged done, we’ve updated our yearly guide to con crash with some more information, and some new resources from the lovely @guardiansmh.bsky.social nonprofit. We hope it helps con goers as we all catch up on sleep! www.spritesanddice.com/features/aft...

No, sorry, I have more to say about this episode because I constantly think about the character who was unable to even walk on their own without the Dot telling them which way to go. Because now we have people asking ChatGPT how to make small talk, what to eat, what to wear. We. Are. Cooked. 😐

I love going to PAX U, but there really is nothing like your own bed, your own kitchen, your own family, and getting some massive hugs from your kid when you make it through the door.

Because they won’t do it himself—I’M BLASTING THE FUCK OUT OF THIS. @walle132.bsky.social is in need of some mutual aid to cover some expenses and survival needs. I’d be here for days trying to encapsulate how beautiful of a person WallE is, but please consider helping if you can. 🖤

We had such an amazing time playing the SCIRE mega game at #PAXUnplugged! Based on CBR+PNK and run by @mythworks.bsky.social, it was a massive ttrpg of 60+ players who had to try and survive, get transformed, forced to change teams, and tons of other surprises. Absolutely worth the experience.

I WIN AT LIIIIIIIIIFE (the boardgame)!!!!

Another #PAXUnplugged done! Thank you to everyone who spoke with us to help make it special for our writers and community. Thank you to all the exhibitors and special guests that make the convention what it is, and THANK YOU to all who put it together! Already excited for next year.

YOUR 2025 PAX UNPLUGGED THE GAME OF LIFE CHAMPION @ethanquinsey.bsky.social !!!

Day 3 of #PAXUnplugged begins! What are you excited to see? What was your favorite part so far? Share what you love to help others find cool things on the last day!

From the Sprites and Dice community discord. They started taking bets if we were going to start going home on time from PAX U. I do not deserve such bullying!

Last day of PAX, time to share some amazing booths for last stops! @asmadigames.bsky.social has some fantastic games like Innovation and Good Puppers, but I had a chance to play Mystical Curling Club, a really fun dexterity game about, well… Curling! Check it out if you can. It’s on Kickstarter!

If you get the chance and you love #ttrpgs, stop by @thoughtcrimegames.bsky.social! We picked up a copy of Community Radio and Griot Anthology, both great small books that are easily packed for the way home!

Indie Games Market last night was a rousing success!!!! WOW. I’m so impressed by all of the vendors organization and skill. I’m sure we’ll be able together get stats from the PAX team, but this year definitely felt way bigger 🧵 🎲✂️

At PAXU and want some Exeunt Press solo games? @ipr.bsky.social Booth 3701 has almost all of them, and Make Your Own One-Page RPG. Go! Visit! #pax #paxunplugged

The third day of PAX U is always strange. You don’t want it to end, but you miss your own bed. You want to keep playing and buying new things, but you already probably spent too much. You can’t wait to see your family but don’t want to miss out on meeting new people and friends. Life’s a paradox.

Had an awesome time at the Indy Games Night Market at #PAXU talking with tons of game designers about so many new board games! It was such a great experience to hear all the pitches and look at the diversity of games! #IGNM

I love gaming conventions because it helps you feel connected to others who share your passions, your hobbies, your interests, but who also help you see things in a different light. Megagames are one of those special convention things. 60+ all playing the same game differently… It’s just awesome.

It’s been a phenomenal PAX Unplugged, with so many awesome designers, panelists, content creators, booths, games, all of it. Anxiety’s been high lately for a bunch of reasons, but having some time with friends and a chance to play so many games has been wonderful.

If I can ask y'all for some help, please read & just share the following? Medical emergencies + 2yrs of unemployment + debt is a hell of a combo. Any support would be a huge help. So far, through your kindness I've been able to pay off $3k of my $20,000 debt gofund.me/5bfe73dd9

The SCIRE is in lockdown! Final player count: 64!!! #paxunplugged

If you get to the far corner of the #PAXUnplugged expo hall is @absurdistprod.bsky.social and they have an amazing board game called Winter Rabbit. Made by a Cherokee team and written in both Cherokee and English, it’s a semi-cooperative game of surviving winter! Worth checking out if you can!

Just to review, in the last week the President of the United States: - Refused to condemn the rise of Neo-Nazis in his party - Tried to block the release of further evidence he sexually abused children - Encouraged the execution of Congressional Democrats Those are just factual statements.

My special announcement to all of you following me here. A Year Of Living With My Library. I am challenging myself for 2026 to play only titles I already own. No new purchases. I hope you're as excited to follow along with me as I am to kick this thing off! #boardgames

Just in time for SCIRE!! www.myth.works/products/sci...

CYB+PNK: Augmented by @mythworks.bsky.social is a small package that managed to create some of the best tabletop gaming moments we’ve had. Tons of flavor and a great introduction to many ttrpg game mechanics, wrapped up in a cyberpunk setting. Our review: www.spritesanddice.com/reviews/cbr-...

If you are going to PAX Unplugged this week, make sure you check out the Mythworks booth. They have some amazing ttrpgs, and during the last year, CBR+PNK has been a gateway to enjoying a whole new set of tabletop games. My review: www.spritesanddice.com/reviews/cbr-...

Today is the day to repost this meme about International Men's Day, one of the most unironically wholesome memes that has ever been made. Shoutout to all my fellow champs, chiefs, and kings. ✊

I know it’s easy to criticize the ACA and much of this era in hindsight, but this bill happening right as I was leaving college and finding my way did so much to keep my life affordable while still having coverage I needed. It was an imperfect bill that still did a world of good.

Run it up

One of these days, I will have the brain power to make one of those super fancy 'hey this is me, here's how you can say hi to me at a convention!' things, but I do not think that day is today. I do hope to see lots of happy and excited gamers and geeks in a few days though!

Boosting again. I’m sorry I keep asking. Thank you in advance 🖤

Coming to #PAXUnplugged2025 !? Join us thursday nite for a fun time! We will be set up handing out tabletop inclusion mental health kits, resources and greeting everyone who comes by! #paxu2025 #paxunplugged

Our yearly guide for PAX Unplugged is here! It's meant to help those who haven't been to this particular convention before, but there are hopefully some ideas for everyone. Check it out, and feel free to comment with your own best tips! #PAXUnplugged www.spritesanddice.com/features/gui...

Pope Leo absolutely cooking

Also worth mentioning that PaxU is the first time you'll be able to buy Griot Anthology, a collection of awesome work by black TTRPG designers and artists. We'll be at booth 3850, come check it out!

Who's gonna PAX? Are U gonna PAX??? www.rascal.news/scire-megaga...

This game has been my new obsession since its release last week. Considering Wyatt's already got an article written, it sounds like it's hit him pretty hard too. Everyone seems abuzz about Arc Raiders. This is part of the reason why.

I (finally) wrote a thing! Been a crazy last half a year for me, but that doesn't mean you should sleep on this game if you've been looking for a #ttrpg like this.

There is no better anti AI advertisement than the newest worst campaign in COD history, BLOPS 7

Been a while since felt the energy to be proud of my cooking and also post about it, but - making stir fry, with Hoisin sauce instead of soy to try and caramelize the chicken a little more. Made with carrots and garlic grown in our own backyard! Happy Friday everyone.

So the streamer Ludwig recently found out that one of his earliest regular viewers, who was trans, passed away and tonight he's doing a charity stream for the Trevor Project. So far he's raised over $46,000 in about 5 hours. www.twitch.tv/ludwig

It's officially less than a full week to the expo hall opening at PAX Unplugged. Who's excited?! Here's some tips and notes I've picked up from going to this convention. I'd love to hear some of yours if you want to share! Also - who am I going to see there?! Can't wait.

This is for @ethanquinsey.bsky.social and @rosequeue.bsky.social bahahahaha

Oh right #PAXU panel next week , I'll be there but Im joined by some amazing folks you should come listen to while I nod in agreement, come by & nod w/me to the words of @therosecleric.bsky.social, @catieosaurus.bsky.social, @blackgirlmage.bsky.social, @intersectionscch.bsky.social &@naladraws.com
