If you're still recovering from last night's food coma (or don't live in America/were responsible???) you probably don't want to spend too much time reading a heavy space-themed eurogame rulebook. If that's the case, then boy oh boy do I have good news for you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=-hhp...

Okay I'm gonna say it: it's really weird for large for-profit conventions to have "volunteer" staff. Fan-run cons do that because they're non-profits and no one is getting meaningfully paid. Professional cons are businesses and businesses need to pay for labor.

RT if you also wish ill upon JK Rowling.

If you got the survey email from Patreon this week, please don't skip over it. They're banging the pot about incorporating AI again. Let them know exactly what you think about that.

Writers should internalize Lao Tzu's lesson about how the emptiness at the center of a wheel is what makes it useful, and how a pot is valuable because of where the clay *isn't*. Corporate geek culture has warped us into thinking that negative spaces are flaws that need to be fixed.

Chunky board games imply the existence of creamy board games.

Welp, guess I know what I’m doing in October…

Continuing the Frosthaven Digital coverage with some beginner combat strategies! The first couple missions of Frosthaven (and Gloomhaven) do not hold your hand, so I put together these tips to help get you settled in. @arcgames.com @cephalofairgames.bsky.social www.youtube.com/watch?v=7GwZ...

The leadership of the Tabletop Game Designers Association was disappointed to see the publisher CGE touting Codenames: Back to Hogwarts, a new Harry Potter-themed version of Codenames.

I've been working on this one for a while, and now I'm happy to finally get it out there! If you've ever been interested in playing Earthborne Rangers by @earthbornegames.bsky.social, this will get you started in no time! Well...less than a half hour anyway.

I've gotten to do a couple great podcasts lately, but this latest one with Candice for BGG was so much fun! We talked about upcoming GenCon releases that we're excited for, as well as what we've been playing lately. boardgamegeek.com/blog/12153/b...

Hey folks! Trying something a little different today with a gameplay video on RTFM! I got to play Frosthaven Digital's Early Access build with @thingsgetdicey.bsky.social and @silvermedaltavern.bsky.social! Check it out here: www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdJp...

Got to talk with the fun guys at Adamantly Analog about heavy games that are "worth the weight!" My picks might not be a surprise, but we have a great discussion about what makes these games worth your time. Check it out! boardgamegeek.com/boardgamepod...

Posted a video on Friday talking about everything that happened with the channel hijacking. So if you're interested in the whole story, here's what happened. youtu.be/x0udRkbkiP4

Joy is a protest 👊🏼 empathy is never wrong and I will never ever be caught on the same side as the robber in Catan 😤

Bumping this again because the kickstarter just went live! Check it out if you want a light coop with some great artwork!

One of my Patreon backers just shared this Twilight Imperium soundboard with me, and I think it's fantastic! Very well made, and some solid writing too! tidraft.com/voices

Celebrating the return of my channel by posting a new video! In Weretigers by Sordane Publishing you'll protect a secluded village from an oncoming horde of feral beasts! And if I'm making a game about tigers, there was no way I wasn't gonna put one of my cats in the video 😉 youtu.be/eeT_6gRXySo

Cautiously optimistic that I've gotten access to the channel back. Waiting until I get home tomorrow to really dig into it just in case the different IP addresses tripped some security protocol.

Welp. Had my channel back for a minute. Then it got taken down again. Maybe because I was trying to restore it while out of town (oh yeah, all this is happening while I’m on vacation) and the ip addresses didn’t match? So I might have to wait until I get back to do anything. This is…frustrating.

I'm just putting this out there for the youtubers among you: if I see AI Art in the thumbnail, I instantly click "do not recommend this channel"

After posting about my channel hack here, I also posted on twitter, because YT has an account there and I wanted to contact them. I have connected with someone, but I also got over 50 comments from spam accounts trying to "help" me. Man do I not miss that place.

So my google accounts just got hacked. Obviously if you see a video on my channel promoting crypto or whatever it's not me. If anyone has recommendations for dealing with this I'd love some advice since Google doesn't seem to have any actual support anymore.

Brushing up for tomorrow's game with @rtfmshow.bsky.social! And with a cameo from @ruelgaviola.com, too! 🚀 youtu.be/AltGwY-bmfY?...

My Patreon has a monthly newsletter that is normally only for backers, but I'm putting this one up for anyone who wants to read it. I discuss the current events and what I think it means for the future of the board game industry. www.patreon.com/posts/its-we...

I got to play in Frosthaven Digital's closed beta the past couple weeks and I have some thoughts! Thanks to Snapshot Games for sending me a couple of keys and of course to @cephalofairgames.bsky.social for making Frosthaven in the first place! Ok, let's get started.

If you've ever been curious about COIN games but don't care for historical settings, you should definitely check out Red Dust Rebellion by @gmtgames.bsky.social It covers a Martian uprising and wouldn't you know it, I've just released a tutorial! youtu.be/lI5Y-0jm_uY

I got to go to GAMA Expo as part of their Hosted Media program! Figured I'd see what was really going on there and report back. youtube.com/shorts/sFt7m...

I love dice games, especially with drafting and push-your-luck, so I knew Moonrollers would be my jam. And it was! Becca, Ashleigh, Shea, and I had a lotta fun chucking dice in this game from IV Studio! #boardgames @goodtimesociety.com Watch: youtu.be/Ru84oP-JBbE?...

Pretty good start for the fish nerds!

I'm going to be going live with the cast of Dungeon Call at 7PM PST! We're gonna be hanging out, talking about the season, and answering questions. You should come on by! www.youtube.com/live/mx_xOtd...

Can you actually plan a trip to Japan using Let's Go To Japan by AEG? Technically yes! youtu.be/OVGW7bjkloo?...

I think I will always be reminded of this when I play the game now😂

I’ve been banging this drum for years. Not surprised that we feel the same about where the “important concepts” section of a rulebook should be.

I still have this. Sits on top of War of the Ring now.

A weird thing about being on youtube for a long time is that people will comment on my older videos telling me to improve something, and it’s always a thing I stopped doing a long time ago.
