I’m ALLOWED to talk shit about the Midwest because I’m from here and have lived here my whole life. Any of u coastal elitists CANNOT talk shit 🔪

Happy (almost) Valentine's Day! This year, we are putting the spotlight on platonic friendship! Because sometimes your fellow adventurer is more than a traveling companion or friend. Sometimes they're a bro. Learn more in today's KS update: https://ow.ly/JLwt50YfinW

I'm feeling pretty thankful, optimistic, and hopeful today. Despite the every day doom and gloom, and absolute terror that this current US administration is spreading across the world...I am choosing happiness today.

Silly little skit

I’ll never forget the day I found out “Too Many Bones” actually refers to the dice in the game. The bones are dice. Dice are bones. Too Many Bones still makes me chuckle. What a wonderful name for a board game.

My husband is famous!

Plotweaver is currently getting developed by a wonderful group of folks! So, please read (and share!) below about the people making this awesome game 🧵

MISS my pink and red hair. Was it practical? No. Was it an amazing look? Absolutely yes.

Discernment is a learned skill. You do not have to comment on or quote post every single post you have *thoughts* on.

We had people over yesterday to celebrate my spouse’s birthday, so one of my friends parked his car in front of my neighbors house. I guess this pissed off our neighbor because they then boxed my friend’s car in and waited by the window until he left so they could watch him struggle to leave?

Adding things to my task list on Monday and then immediately switching them to "Done" just to feel something

This perfectly encapsulates my feelings on channels that advertise that they’re completely unbiased and/or uncensored. Once you start advertising your channel this way and building a community around this sentiment, then you’ve got a quota to fill on “the truth.” That isn’t being unbiased.

When u gotta protest at 3 but a local business to support at 5

Thousands of people filled the streets of downtown Minneapolis in protest of federal immigration enforcement for the second consecutive Friday. 📷️: Aaron Lavinsky

"We see the tremendous weight of grief, anger, and fear that so many are carrying right now. No one should have to live with constant fear. Everyone deserves to feel safe, valued, and to be treated with dignity." Read more: stonemaiergames.com/we-stand-wit...

The dark underbelly of the board gaming hobby: that there are too many bones

There is a lesson somewhere about the type of community you cultivate when you're silent on certain topics. Silence means you're willing to accept bad behavior and harmful rhetoric under the guise of being apolitical.

I’ll never forget the day I found out “Too Many Bones” actually refers to the dice in the game. The bones are dice. Dice are bones. Too Many Bones still makes me chuckle. What a wonderful name for a board game.

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

It's new portfolio website day! charliehallwriter.com How's this thing look, gang? I write on websites, not build 'em. I have no idea what I'm doing here for the most part...

Taking a moment to stop and appreciate the amount of snow we got in Central Ohio today. 19” and counting! I can barely open the back door.

TTRPG friends, Matt, our friend and community member @nurdrocks.bsky.social has been taken by ICE while his back was turned, peacefully protesting. Matt is the founder of Justice Frontline Aid that provides aid & education in the MN community. I've linked the video footage below. Do not stay silent.

Greg Bovino stepping out in the most Hugo Boss inspired Nazi coat of all time is a dog whistle if I’ve ever seen one.

This is all so fucking horrific. I have no words.

A letter from Saint Paul to those last few friends and family who have somehow become indifferent to ongoing campaign of terror in the Twin Cities:

People as far as the eye can see.

You can tell we don't use chatgpt or gAI to write out our posts because of my occassional misspelling. Oops!

Mischief Toy Store in St. Paul has until Wednesday to turn over employment records to the Department of Homeland Security as part of a surprise audit launched Friday, just hours after one of the shop's owners criticized ICE agents during a television interview. bit.ly/4r5AFol

I think seeing a game's mechanic, specific card, character power, etc, and asking "Is this OP?" is such a boring way to engage with the medium.

who the fuck WANTS their posts to go viral, have you ever had that actually happen? it's like getting a winning pull on a slot machine if wasps started pouring out the bottom instead of quarters

Our blog posts get auto-posted to social media. I don't use FB myself, but went in there to post this. I don't expect to see similar attacks from any Bsky users, but figured I should elaborate on my personal opinion here.

Mad Men is such a good show. This is my second time rewatching and it is just too good.

Hey TTRPG Sky! I'm looking to organize group games for my team here at Demiplane/Roll20, and am seeking professional online GMs to hire for one-shot play. If that's you, you can drop me a quick line through this google form: forms.gle/Yesw4e9r3WR7... Systems I'm looking for in the next post.

Finally sharing my sizzle reel! If you're in need of video production work (or pretty much anything creative), hit me up, esp. at #PAXU! I don't ask for this much, but if you're in the #boardgames industry and like what I do, consider sharing this! I'm looking to book up 2026! linktr.ee/jcw.gay

Forever wishing I had the confidence of commenters on BGG

9 years ago today, I started my first internship in NYC at Natori :') Crazy to think how stressed I was living in New York by myself, and how it is just a distant memory now!

BGG, please stop allowing random people to change games listings for publishers! It is really annoying!

Abolish and prosecute ICE. They did a murder in broad daylight today. Imagine what they're doing in the closed facilities we're somehow not even allowed to see.

Reminder: The Cosmere RPG Giveaway ends tomorrow! We are giving away 4 books (2 Handbooks and 2 World Guides) to 4 lucky winners in the US and Canada. To enter the contest, details are below:

Lay's changed their packaging and branding recently, and they got me. I thought they released a new version of their chips that were the "healthy" version, but it was just a branding update. On top of the visual changes, the bag is now matte instead of shiny.

I need this silly hat

yeah

Oh no, everyone is "circling back" this week.

you simply do not have to preface your statements about this with “but Maduro sucks” whether or not Maduro sucks is entirely beside the point - we invaded another country and grabbed their leader with no justification other than “we wanted to” don’t give them cover on it
