Got to help an awesome dad and his very cool kiddo make a kid-friendly/not TOO scary Ghost Busters themed TTRPG during the workshop at @opalgrove.games yesterday! Glad for the opportunity, and I'm really excited for this family to have a TTRPG just for them!

Happy N7 Day. Tune in to twitch.tv/modiphius in just a few hours to learn more about the future of mass effect.

Hi everyone, episode 120 of Cardboard Time is now live! (tinyurl.com/4hkuurda). This episode features Aisha and Rowan of @opalgrove.games , who have done a wonderful job building up a store that centers community. I really enjoyed recording this one, and I hope you'll enjoy listening.

Quick thread of today's #GenCon indie TTRPG pickups. Lot of these I've read or seen, some are brand new. Starting with this really cool bagged edition of @lackingceremony.bsky.social 's The Quiet Year.

If your argument against radical structural changes in broken countries like the USA is just boring doomerism “It’ll never work because a better world can’t exist” I’m not interested in your politics. Maybe just take a rest and please get therapy.

Our friends at @fridaytea.com could use your help! They're a lovely, woman-owned small business and have been hit hard with the tariff situation. If you can, please throw them a donation at: bit.ly/4kTkPdU You can also pick up our Cahokia blend tea from them at: www.fridaytea.com/products/cah...

Forgive me, #ThirstyNerds, for I have grifted. 🍵🏳️‍🌈 PS it’s not rainbow washing or rainbow capitalism if it’s an ACTUALLY QUEER SMALL BIZ, my dudes. 😂 #HappyPride #ShopSmall #ShopQueer #pridemonth #homophobiaisntcool #dontmakeitweird

I believe in a world where play helps us be better people. Play is a just, necessary goal to incite in the world. And I want to be a part in that.

I think games have an opportunity to help people connect, promote, learn, reveal, and incite belief and action into the real-world. Play can help us see beyond ourselves; To live lives that transform and transcend us.

K! So! We spent this week figuring out how the tariffs, inflation and other bullshit is going to affect business. Time to thread. For those not in the know, I'm the Director at Hachette Boardgames USA and I import games for foreign publishers and market and sell them in the US. 1/?

I just woke up. I don't know what happened. I can't believe this. AM I DREAMING??? Overnight we raised $425,000 for @translifeline.bsky.social. We have now broken last year's record! 💜 💜 💜 There's 24 hours left. Can we...hit half a million by tomorrow? Let's do it! Donate-----> t.co/yNz2LaW3M5

Either city would be amazing compared to Louisville and both a massive step up in terms of abortion and lgbtqia human rights protections. Chicago recently indicated immigrant protection too. Glad these cities being considered!

More games for more gamers is good for the hobby. There's a valid argument make that there are too many games coming out each year, but I can't really believe that this one [a sequel to an immensely popular game from an S tier publisher designed by an up and coming designer] is the problem 10/

If you’re a marginalized tabletop game designer—this is a space you’ll want to keep your eye on! Whether you’re working on your first game or want to try selling a game you made yourself, indie markets are on the rise and we want YOU!! 💪 Only we can create spaces truly for EVERYONE!! 🏳️‍⚧️🌈

We’re open 12-8pm today and tomorrow for all our fellow procrastinators! We see you, we know the struggle, and we will be here with games for everyone on your list! 💖

I’ve been beating myself up for signing up for a holiday market at what turned out to be a mostly dead mall. Today, a young Black man got so excited chatting with me about my store & learning D&D, then turned around and said “Mom, I found my people!!” 1000% worth it for this single interaction 😭💖
