Today's the day! At 4.30 pm PST, join us at twitch.tv/plaiddog for the start of a full weekend of TTRPGs and charity fundraising for Andrea's Adventurers! feat. @wisdomcheck.ca @rejectedmuse.bsky.social @GMofReven Let's Roll a Nat 20 to Beat Cancer!

They make a Second Breakfast Tea WITH or WITHOUT roasted barley, for your gluten-sensitive hobbit friends! Perfect for your next Elevensies Party!! WILD

This fall has been an extra slow one for small businesses out here, and the tea house is $3.7k shy of where we need to be to make rent before late fees hit this month. All this to say, if you have some tea shopping to do or friends to point our way today, we'd sure appreciate it!

🎶 Oh the sun will come out, tomorrow...🎶 And so will the games! Please prove I am not the only board game-playing, musicals-loving geek and say hi tomorrow at protoconbc.ca!!

Ok. ProtoCON is tomorrow. We're at 93% tickets sold/gifted. *Deep breaths

"How do you get things done with your AuDHD, Jae?" Idk what you want to hear, but spite and guilt can be amazing motivators when used appropriately.

My Simple Salad Formula: - Leafy Stuff - Protein of choice - 2 types of fruit/non-crunchy veg (strawberries, grapes, dried fruit...) - 1 type of crunchy thing (croutons, nuts, julienned carrots, etc) - oil, vinegar, salt, pepper, and a citrus juice/zest in a jar. Shake Vigorously. Enjoy!

I rarely play the same game at the same time as my partner, but when we do it is fascinating how differently we play. I'm an item and lore hoarder who surprisingly speeds through an area to find everything swiftly. He's methodical in his exploration, slow, steady, and sometimes ahead of his level

Game workers of Toronto unite! Take a break from making games by playing games at the UVW Toronto meetup on Friday November, 14th at FreePlay Retro Arcade Bar. Admission is free (just check in at the door), first drink is on us! www.eventbrite.com/e/united-vid...

Want to know a secret about the Worst Thing about ProtoCON BC's event on November 7th to 9th? Come closer...

So, uh... We've sold over 80% of tickets for ProtoCON. The 2 timeslots tier sold out. We only have Sunday timeslots for playtesting available.

When buying books, you can’t always tell if you’re supporting Canadian businesses. But the Certified Canadian Publisher program is changing that. 📚🇨🇦

A well-loved Canadian Band has sung about it being one week since... We're looking at one week until protoconbc.ca! Think you know the lyrics of One Week? Finish this line: "Gotta see the show... "

Bill 94 has passed in Quebec. Students and staff will have to attend school with their faces uncovered. Menus adapted to religious restrictions will be prohibited. Absences or leave granted to staff for religious celebrations also gone. montreal.citynews.ca/2025/10/30/q...

Remember: The richest 1% evade over $160 billion in taxes every year. That amount would fund SNAP for a year with money to spare. Ask yourself who the real freeloaders are.

Volunteer applications are also open! Pitch in for 3 shifts over the 3-day weekend and we'll give you a full weekend pass plus other perks. It's a great way to meet other people and help build Vancouver's board game community! terminalcitycon.ca/volunteer/

🎺 Early bird tckets are live for #TCTC2026! 🎺 Join us March 13-15, 2026 for board games, RPGs, and three days of tabletop community in Vancouver, BC.

Rebecca is a legend and needs some help. Consider donating if you can! www.gofundme.com/f/help-rebec...?

We have a *BIG* surprise raffle prize just for Designers, thanks to @terminalcitycon.ca! Entering its 13th year, Terminal City Tabletop Convention (TCTC) is a celebration of all things tabletop gaming and is Canada’s largest community-driven tabletop game event!

"I DON'T NEED YOU TO FUCKING REWRITE WHAT I'VE JUST WRITTEN!"

What do you mean I went from 100 days away to 10??? #protoconbc25

Pretty sure it's not Monopoly...

Stop using $20 words to argue your 2¢.

Scary. Be warned Canadians. Who knows what they're doing with our faces.... #cdnpoli #canada www.cbc.ca/news/busines...

"Stay out of politics, stay on the fence Stay out of all of it to keep half your fans Isn't this obvious? Am I insane? There might be two sides to everything that you say It's all a bit cloudy but there's one thing I know That if you're fucking racist then don't come to my show"

Our volunteers are the sweetest, kindest, friendliest volunteers. Prove me right, and join us!

Look, this might go very sideways, and there will be limitations to what can feasibly be done but @alexvalente.fyi insisted and you know how he gets when he has an idea... Part of the Andrea's Adventurers silent auction for charity: design an original dice set with the AD team!

Hey, all! Two months into striking, things are getting… uncomfortably tight. I’m so proud of doing my part for collective action with my BCGEU colleagues ✊, but my bank account is growling and my bills are grinning. If you’ve enjoyed my work and have the means to help out: PayPal.me/aidanmoher

Calling all BIPOC indie game devs! Want to showcase your new game at #PaxUnplugged this year? Apply for the PAX Together Demo Days program by Oct 31 🗓️ Application linked in our bio! @officialpax.bsky.social Co-sponsored by @worlds4all.bsky.social @sidequestbooks.bsky.social and Nomnivore Games✨

Is it ironic to start a whole playtest-focused convention because you don't get enough playtesting of your board game, only to have no time to playtest your game because you are chairing a whole playtest-focused convention? 😂 Just over 2 weeks, and I cannot wait for ProtoCON BC!

We are pleased to announce @raincity.games as a Sponsor! Rain CIty Games is an independent specialty game store in the hearts of Vancouver and New Westminster, a purveyor of fine cardboards, and a warm place to find your next game night favourite!

If you listen to their podcasts, they had an episode where they basically confirmed Ned cost them literal millions in sponsored content that had to be scrapped and endangered the livelihoods of the entire staff. But yea, haw haw, how dare anyone be upset about it! Boys will be boys!!1!!

Hey Friends! Still looking for event volunteers for ProtoCON BC! Come help out, play some games, and be a part of indie tabletop gaming!

Alrighty folks: I have had upper back pain for just over a week now. There is nothing we can trace it to, injury wise, other than maybe 'slept poorly' I'm using over-the-counter painkillers. It blunts it. What's some advice for resolving it that ISN'T chiropractic or massage therapy?

23 Days! Still plenty to do to prepare for ProtoCON BC's inaugural event! We're still looking for volunteers for the weekend - you can get in contact through our website, or our volunteer form forms.gle/61LvXcYcP9iW... See you in November!

I don't know how anyone can spend a moment in our healthcare system and think that gutting it further is the way to go. Taxes pay for it; the more taxes go to it, the better it'll get.

With the holidays upon us, don't give to Salvation Army. Not even change. It's a scumbag "charity" run by anti-gay zealots. Habitat for Humanity is great. Your local Food Bank is great. So many "charities" are for-profit scams. Use Charity Navigator to vet them. www.charitynavigator.org

I think we really should stop using antifa and just fully say anti-fascist and get them saying they are against anti fascism. Using antifa is giving them some distance and I genuinely think some of their base don’t even know that’s what it stands for.

Canadians: The federal government is seeking public input on how AI should be developed and used in business, research, and the military. If this scares the shit out of you, please let them know:
