It kind of annoys me sometimes that it took me 20 years to come up with an idea for a world and story. It's been a fun exercise so far though.

About 20% done on my first draft, and I'm starting to understand why people get writer's block

Played Through the Ages by @czechgames.com last weekend and had someone actually resign at the start of age III: the resign rule is a weird but interesting piece of game design, and is necessary considering how brutal the game can be. #boardgames

Was gonna attend UKGE but I don’t want to deal with rail replacement buses or a 2.5 hour roundabout trip. Shame.

Last Turn of our game of @multimanpublishing.bsky.social GCACW The Crater scenario of The Petersburg Campaign. I tried to assault New Market but failed, but I remained in Richmond and tried to rack up VPs by eliminating CSA manpower points. Solid Union Victory in the end. Thanks Marco!

Managed to play through most of The Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers: Trick-Taking Game and the last few chapters are incredible. The second to last one could almost be a game in itself considering how interesting it is to wrestle the puzzle it presents. Absolutely stellar game.

It’s honestly amazing how good the LOTR Two Towers Trick Taking Game is. The original was one of my favourite #boardgames but the inventiveness of the chapters in the sequel is outstanding. I almost can’t see going back to The Crew after this.

Happy Deep Rock Galactic: Rogue Core EA release day for those that celebrate (in like two hours)

Someone doesn’t want me to go away to play board games!

I think one of the most refreshing things I’ve read in a while was this advisory in Infernal Machine by GMT games. Many ACW games try to skirt around the subject or not mention it at all and I think this is definitely a step in the right direction. #wargames

Ciaphus Cain is coming to the tabletop. I repeat, Commissar Ciaphus Cain is coming to the tabletop! www.warhammer-community.com/en-gb/articl...

Wrote a review for Infernal Machine: Dawn of Submarine Warfare by @gmtgames.bsky.social for TTB! Let me know what you think: www.tabletopbattles.com/hextoricals-...

Been playing one of the pre-printed campaigns for Mothership RPG and I'm enjoying it a lot. It delivers some of the similar beats to the Alien RPG but with a bit less crunch, which I like.

Perhaps you missed this last evening: REBUILDING CHICAGO excels in many spheres. As a drafting game, as a race, as a dual-layered puzzle with polyominoes.

I've written some words on GCACW from @multimanpublishing.bsky.social, focusing on the series itself! It's my current obsession so if you are interested in ACW, have a read: www.tabletopbattles.com/hextoricals-...
