“Oh Jordan! You like board games, right? What are your favorite games?” Ok, so this one is really exciting, in this one you play as merchants in the Hanseatic League!

Chatting about indie games is mostly 1 person talking about a game they like 10 people saying “I haven’t tried that one. I really need to.”

Went to a college fair and overheard a different institution tell a girl she shouldn’t be a chemist, she should sell pharmaceuticals instead because she would just get bad grades in chemistry. I’m ashamed that I didn’t punch him.

People can argue about what they think the best city in the world is, and there are a lot of different answers… but no one can argue about what the worst city is. Because it’s Jacksonville, Florida and everyone knows it.

People are arguing if not altering the gm to wolves having pack tactics is cheating or not and holy shit just play a good game. Y’all keep arguing while playing a dogshit game. Be more interesting. Play more interesting games.

I get why old people didn’t like me or the things I cared about when I was young now. Because I’m old people now. If you care about this, I genuinely think you’re a loser. With every beat of my heart.

I’m at the point where I don’t really enjoy tv as much anymore because I could be watching a movie.

The amount of work Nico did for this post is fucking wild. I don’t like blogs and I read this blog.

I both agree and disagree with my friend, Victor. I like games so I want a gamified system, but I also find traditional initiative structure intolerable. My favorite initiative systems tend to lean towards a popcorn system. Victor is right, I just also like game in my game.

A co-worker had the unmitigated audacity to ask me about Star Trek as I was trying to leave and I was forced to talk about TNG instead of leaving work on time.

So fuck Donald Trump and his stupid arch, but that’s photoshop on the right. You can tell by the fact that it’s obvious it’s photoshopped poorly. Also the inscription is in Spanish, not German, as this arch is on a military university in Argentina. That took about 30 seconds of googling.

I just want to play board games about turning wooden bits into different wooden bits. What if I just got to play Concordia all the time?

Men (me) will do anything (buying a copy of Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance) before going to therapy (going to therapy).

I had to talk about registration data and how the employee education assistance plan functions under different tuition structures depending on the learning modality today for several hours today and brain is tired.

Feet break. Buy games to fix that problem.

My Lyft driver had the audio from a Spanish language Instagram Reel about Adam Sandler, Rob Schneider, and Mel Gibson playing on loop for the entire ride…

People who make some of my favorite games also have some of the most intolerable social media personalities of all time.

I’m not saying that no one dislikes AW legitimately… I’m sure there are people who have tried it and don’t like it, and that’s totally fair. I am saying that everyone I’ve heard complain about it has run it like D&D. Well… they ran a worse PBTA like D&D and decided that meant they didn’t like AW.

As the gm of this game, I can confirm both of these facts.

Game night fit!

Just finished Sirāt, what a brilliant movie.

One of my frustrations in the game review/critique space is when people make assumptions on a game's development regarding an aspect they didn't enjoy. This isn't about whether this part of the game is good or bad or "broken" or whatever, but the assumption that they know better and we missed it.

To the folks in the replies of this trying to talk about how you fix 5e to do dungeon crawling better. You can also just give your time and attention to designers who have made better games that are actually designed for the things you want. You don’t have to support the mega corp with the mid game

I am looking to hire an artist for my next project. It's a comedy game about playing the lackeys of a supervillain. Looking for a comics style with slightly exaggerated character design. If you're available for work, feel free to comment or DM a link to your portfolio.

What a delightfully reasonable post. This is such a refreshing way to think about crowd funding. I love this.

Another day, another student who got attacked by the hawk in the lobby getting first aid.

You simply love to see it!

I love the P500 so goddamn much. I love seeing other companies implement a similar strategy.

I've been in many discussions about the trying to figure out a way to make the P500 model work beyond the GMT niche. (P500 basically: once we get 500 pre-orders we set the game to print.) Really interesting to see this...

The idea of playing in a 5e mega dungeon is actually my worst nightmare. That game is so bad (I could stop there) at the kind of resource management you want for dungeon delving.

It’s a great day to play Damn the Man, Save the Music. (It’s Rex Manning Day).

New Arkham Horror LCG Core Set has me wondering if now is the time to get into a new card game….

Alright! My proxied powered vintage cube is complete! (For now).

“You just don’t want to put yourself at risk of death.” Yeah. That’s a great point. I agree.

I love that my hobbies and my career are separate things.

The College of Redacted at the University of Redacted was ranked number redacted and we’re VERY redacted about it!

Just watched Bad Lieutenant… and I’m trying to find what people like about this movie. The poster is great. That’s really the most good I can say about it.

Use only one piece of art to convince folks to follow you #ttrpg #FantasyMap #dndArtist #cartography

Seeing the Artemis launch fully made me cry. I love people. Humans are seriously so amazing.

The worst part about spring in the American South is that even the caterpillars are out to get you. @soundoftheforest.bsky.social I’m so sorry, but these are the bugs I don’t like. Other bugs are great. Tussock moth caterpillars are mean.

Bluesky apparently unfollowed some people for me… very cool.

This is the only April Fool’s Day joke that’s allowed today. Sorry. No one else gets one.

HAPPY WEDNESDAY LET’S GO TO THE FUCKIN MOON

In honor of (hopefully) today's launch of NASA's Artemis II mission, the first crewed mission to orbit the Moon in more than 50 years, here is a to-scale graphic of exactly how far away the Moon actually is. (Click image to expand.) You could fit about 30 Earths between the Earth and the Moon!

If your game crowdfunder doesn't fund in 30 min, then it's free

THIS is the kind of project we should be talking about and supporting. Instant back.

Just a reminder to all of my friends that Netrunner is free, by the way! There is a button on the NetrunnerDB website that lets you get printable sheets to proxy your decks.

Sometimes I think I understand the ttrpg community and then after a day, Traveller 5e makes a quarter of a million dollars and I have to realize that I don’t instant the community even a little bit.

I don’t like 5e or Traveller, but that pledge goal is genuinely funny. Crowd funding is broken, hahahaha.

Well, the RPG community has spent years platforming/supporting bigots and sexual predators so what's one more??
