Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 11/08/2026Rivers of London is a great book series. The audiobooks for Dungeon Crawler Carl are really well produced. It’s a fun book series too. 130

Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 15/02/2026It’s wonderful to have you back. I missed you. Thank you for adding historical cats photos to our social media consumption. 030
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 13/02/2026I went to that building years ago when I lived in Buffalo. The Karpeles Manuscript Library was having an exhibit of maps of the new world. It’s in a great location, right between Downtown Elmwood and Allentown. 080
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 12/02/2026Is “10 visions of the future…” a short story, a novelette, or a novella? 100
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 01/02/2026I’ve also really been enjoying reading the Dungeon Crawler Carl series. The audio books are even better because the narrator does very funny voices. 060
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 14/01/2026Thank you for all your historic cat photos. I’m sorry you are leaving. I hope Bluesky will improve and allow you to come back someday. 0100
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 14/12/2025What’s different about it? I can’t tell what they improved. 000
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 22/09/2025Huzzah! I hope Dork Tower patrons might still be able to see your original cartoon for Wednesday. 050
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 22/09/2025I have fond memories of “I’m Bored”. I bought it for my nephew, who’s now 16. It’s still a great book! 150
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 08/09/2025I love that song! It’s a very funny song. Here’s a link to a recording on YouTube. youtu.be/HPMrnlOAsgc?...youtu.beA Neurotic Love SongYouTube video by Urban Tapestry - Topic 120
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 05/09/2025I’m excited to try it out! The new dragons are really beautiful, and the pass-on-draft mechanism reminds me a bit of Terra Mystica and Res Arcana. 010
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 28/08/2025Where can I go to learn more about “the damage done by the Big Online Ebook Retailer”? I don’t know what you’re referring to. 120
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 21/08/2025Is “Bankrupt” a real YouTube series? Can you post a link to it? 120
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 08/08/2025You asked in the episode if there’s an app for Vantage. There’s already an online app with all the rules and storybook entries. (they’re not narrated, but they make solo easy to play) You can find it here: vantage.rulepop.comvantage.rulepop.comVantage | RulepopVantage rules. Fast. Useful. Awesome. 110
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 27/07/2025Sad news. I loved listening to his songs as a kid. www.nytimes.com/2025/07/27/a...nytimes.comTom Lehrer, Musical Satirist With a Dark Streak, Dies at 97 020
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 25/07/2025I’m excited by boardgames like Wingspan where I don’t know who will win until the very end of the game. I’m less excited by games where I can clearly see who’s winning mid-game (like a racing game). If it’s clear I’m losing and I don’t feel like I can be competitive, I lose interest. 290
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 10/07/2025Congratulations! I loved playing Apiary and Wyrmspan, so I look forward to your future designs. 020
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 30/06/2025I remember Carleton proudly shared this story in their promotional material when I went there in the early 2000’s. I also loved seeing the bust of Schiller get stolen again and again. 020
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 11/06/2025I just finished reading this story from the Hugo voters packet. I enjoyed the discussion of life in academia, the subtle fantastical elements, and the slowly escalating tension. It’s an excellent story. 010
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 11/04/2025You might this article from Stonemaier games on the economics of tariffs helpful. stonemaiergames.com/the-math-of-...stonemaiergames.comThe Math of TariffsIn the whirlwind surrounding the 54% tariff paid by any company importing goods from China to the US, I consistently saw questions, confusion, and even accusations of greed regarding the math of ta… 011
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 07/04/2025Thank you. It’s one of my favorite songs from “Sushi and High Tea”. One more question: was your song “The Lady” based on a specific story? The song vaguely reminds me of “Interview with a Vampire”. 120
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 07/04/2025This song is a favorite of mine. I’m curious, which Ray Bradbury short story is it based on? 110
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 06/04/2025I don’t listen to metal, but I enjoy Blackmore’s Night. Ritchie Blackmore’s wife Candice Night will be 53. (they started the group when she was 26) 000
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 23/03/2025It means you like listening to Paul Simon. (and maybe that Paul Simon liked adding musical themed metaphors to “Graceland”) 020
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 07/03/2025Thanks, I was confused because I didn’t see it listed in the White Space book series. All I see are books 1 and 2. 120
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 07/03/2025FYI - I noticed there wasn’t a goodreads page for The Folded Sky. I use goodreads to remember books I want to read. 120
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 13/02/2025Thank you for sharing his story with us. I’m sorry for your loss. 000
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 07/02/2025I backed the kickstarter years ago and enjoyed reading this series, but never got around to playing the game. I’m glad it’s getting a wider release. 010

Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 24/01/2025You might enjoy reading Radio Free Vermont, by Bill McKibben. 021
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 25/12/2024We enjoyed playing Expeditions with family on Christmas Eve. It felt like a good game for the winter solstice season. 020
Asa S. @asa-s.bsky.social · 18/12/2024I liked how Pandemic Legacy told an interesting story across multiple games. I hear Arcs also has a really creative campaign mode. 100
