I'm so stoked to announce my new line of tabletop shirts! There's a bunch of fun stuff in there, but the thing I'm most excited for is the collaboration with @tabletopgaymers.bsky.social! $5 from every pride shirt sold goes straight to them to help bring LGBT rep to the tabletop community! 🏳️‍🌈 💙

Did you know that every episode comes with a summary for the game that outlines the entire process of teaching it top to bottom? It's true! You can print these out and leave them in the box (or save them to your phone) so you're ready to play!

Happy birthday to How to Teach (and me lol)! 🎉🎊🎂 It's been amazing. How to Teach launched my video production career a year ago, and now I'm animating/producing videos full-time. A little teaser, the next one drops on the 16th on a game from @brotherwisegames.bsky.social 👀 Here's to another year!

And don't forget the Sensei's Guide! This little handout sums up the whole video/teaching process so you don't have to remember the whole thing. Print it out and leave it in the box so you're ready the next time you Let's Go! to Japan!
There are way too many words to put in the alt text, but there is a pdf version that should work with any screen readers that you need! You can get it for free over on my patreon.

As with every episode, here's the teacher's guide you can save to your phone, or better yet, print and leave in the box so you're ready to SOS whenever you bust this one out! Link to the HQ PDF is here: www.patreon.com/posts/were-s...
A guide describing how to teach the board game We're Sinking!

Too many words for here, so if you need a screen-reader compatible document, the link to a downloadable PDF is in the post! Let me know if that works and if it doesn't I'll make it right!

And because I love you kind stranger, here's the TEACHER'S GUIDE which has four new starting setups for you to use for your first game. They all share the same first verifier card so you can practice your teach using the same one across all of them! Have a PDF too! www.patreon.com/posts/118955...
So, too many words to put on here, but if you go to the link in the original post it'll take you to my Patreon where you can download the PDF version, which, in theory, should be compatible with screen readers. No idea if it is or not, so let me know if it works, and if it doesn't I can figure something out!

A picture of the board game Turing Machine with a light behind it. The holes in the front of the box allow for the light to shine through and reflect off the table. In the background there are three copies of the same game on the shelf and it's kind of funny and no one will notice.

It's such a pretty game... #boardgames @plaidhatgames.bsky.social
The game Wandering Galaxy is expertly spread across a table, not in any way that would be conducive to gameplay, but it sure does look nice.
