Looking for a game this weekend? Try out the demo for Winds of the North! Winds of the North is a sandbox campaign game set in Viking Age Scandinavia with survival and adventure. Immerse yourself in Norse culture and history! #boardgames #TTRPG #RPG #sologames www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

Finished re-reading Kromak's Saga (an Icelandic Saga), trying to get out of a reading slump. Lots of magic in this saga. But I forgot what an awful character Kormak was. It's no wonder about a 3rd of the saga is instead focused on the much more honorable and likeable Bersi the duelist. #reading

⚔️ Winds of the North 1.0 demo is out. Why a demo? In short, at the request of the publisher; they need to see numbers. So share away! Winds of the North is a 1-player sandbox campaign, with settlement-building and survival adventure. #ttrpg #boardgames #RPG www.drivethrurpg.com/en/product/5...

After 11 fantastic years, Bloomsbury Publishing, the owner of Osprey Games, has made the difficult decision to sell the board and card game line. This was not a decision taken lightly and reflects a strategic refocusing on book publishing. (1/7)

Here’s my effort. Thanks Scottie!

This looks very rad: www.goodgoblet.com/witches And it's "name your own price" - I will be picking this up.

The most bad-ass rebuttal from Tite Kubo, the author of Bleach.

Catching up: We recently played Agricola (finally in person). After seeing the AR version, I bought the previous big box version. Sadly, we got use to BGA understanding the cards for us. We all had at least one card that had confusing wording. I wasted a couple rounds on such a card. #boardgames

It's Wallpaper Wednesday! Today's piece is Honeycomb Hooligans from Hubworld: Aidalon. Also, a reminder that we are still accepting late pledges! ✨ gamefound.com/en/projects/...

I have to admit, this made me tear up a bit. I'm a sentimental old fool.

Someone made a site where you can send any song and receive any song. This is what I sent, with the tag "night": www.youtube.com/watch?v=tj2F...

I'm so sick of seeing AI disclaimers like this. The solution to not having the budget for voice acting isn't to use AI, it's to not have voice acting at all! Games don't need VO to be good! By jamming in slopvoices, you're not making your game better, you're making it worse and reprehensible!

I posted at an awkward time yesterday and didn't have room for all the hastags. But here's an update on what's hit the table recently! #boardgames #TTRPG #blog #gaming thomaspking.com/2026/03/22/c...

Finally found some time to post another update of what's hit our table recently. Revive and Doggerland were the two new games played (both were my picks). Revive is the stronger game, in my opinion, but Doggerland has the better theme and is more thematic. #boardgames thomaspking.com/2026/03/22/c...

Yesterday, we played Doggerland for the first time. I love the more grounded prehistory, hunter/gatherer theme. I really like the map and how smooth exploration works, and I think the animals and hunting works well. I enjoyed it, though it's got some clunk, and feels "seen it before". #boardgames

This weekend, we had two gamedays. First day was back to Earthborne Rangers! We made surprising progress, given how bad we are with traversing. Our second location was over in the blink of an eye! When I have time again, I look forward to starting a solo campaign. #boardgames

This past weekend, we played Robinson Crusoe with the Treasure Island scenario. We had some really rough luck, with almost all of our founding cards being wood (no healing drawn), and few extra food sources. We starved frequently, and couldn't heal up fast enough. ☠️ #boardgames

I'm behind! Couple weeks ago, for gameday, I picked Revive. This was our first in-person play (+1 BGA). I'm really enjoying it so far. It's a very clean, mid-weight Euro, which is pretty rare these days. After, we watched House (1977); one of my new favorite movies. #boardgames

Ancient European hunter-gatherers were far more advanced in their cooking methods than previously thought, a new study has found, combining ingredients in “remarkably selective” ways, with cuisines even varying by region.

I think if I were asked to give advice on what's the most important component to a game's success? Like, what can literally you do, to make your game better? "Polish." Polish includes testing. So when I say "Polish" I mean, among other things, "LOTS of testing." But I also mean....

The Unseen World is on BoardGameGeek! You play a paranormal investigator traveling across Japan, visiting various towns, researching haunted locations, and trying to collect evidence of the supernatural. #boardgames #tabletopgames #TTRPG #gamebook #sologame boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/46...

Hey board gamers - your feelings an opinions about games are being turned into slop. There's a channel called Board Game Critique. All their videos are clearly made with AI. They fess up to this, but they claim that they write their own scripts. I cannot definitively prove that they don't, but 1/x

Someday, I hope I can be like Ado and get out of my lonely dark closet...

Before I forget, last weekend we played Star Wars: Outer Rim with some modules from the exp (not the ambitions). I'm amazed that even at 3p, and with Garindan (got him turn 1 or 2), being a bounty hunter is really slow if other players aren't turning over contacts. So much wandering... #boardgames

This past weekend, we had a bonus gameday. I picked Vantage (my second play). I've been really enjoying how much the game opens up as you add cards to your grid; it's not just the list of options in your location. Feels like a hybrid of RPG and board game. I need to try solo. #boardgames

Proof copy of my up-coming game, Winds of the North, arrived. Now to go through this thing like crazy to find as many lingering errors or little issues that need fixing. #boardgames #tabletopRPG #TTRPG

It's the year of the horse.

Today, we tried Tiny Epic Game of Thrones (co-op). Tried, because the rules are a mess, and so many cards are confusing to try and play in co-op. We hadn't played before, either, so learning the base rules and co-op mode was difficult. We gave up after 2 hours. What a mess. #boardgames

I seem to have forgotten to post last week's gameday. It was Wasteland Express Delivery Service. This was our second game. I enjoy it, but I don't love it. It's a lot of randomness for pick-up-and-deliver, but there's little interaction with the board. I wanted a little more adventure. #boardgames

Five years ago, #Valheim entered the realm of Early Access! Join us as we celebrate with a small patch, live right now! 🍻🎉 valheim.com/news/five-ye...

I've also been watching more movies lately. The only one I didn't like was Hanaoni/Battle of Demons (2009). Just could not handle the writing and directing. The big highlight for me is House (1977). Crazy fever dream of a movie, but so much fun. Kung-Fu was the best ❤️ #movies #Letterboxd

We're finally settling back into something resembling normal. Yesterday, we got 3 games played! First was London 2nd Edition. Great little card game from Martin Wallace. I kept drawing paupers and accumulating poverty without a good engine to get rid of it, so I didn't do very well. #boardgames

I don't know if I have anything useful to say on current events, but maybe I can borrow someone else's words. Hávamál, stanzas 127–128 (Henry Adams Bellows text):

Been catching up on Alien movies I hadn't seen. Prometheus: Pretty good but definitely has flaws, especially in editing. Covenant: Okay, but surprisingly stupid. No one has a brain. Romulus: Fun, expensive fan fiction. And very video-gamey. Could have just made a video game. Might try Earth again?
