Bear Cavalry might not be a supported archetype in The Hobbit, but I feel that dwarves riding bears is a perfectly viable strategy in sealed. The standings seem to agree, as I took first place! (which is some pretty swell bragging rights) #magicthegathering #mtg #hobbit

Hey everyone, Braden here! We're still working on getting the new board game studio set up for streaming, but I figured you'd want a quick progress update via a picture! We're hoping to get Thursday streams back up and running this month, and I'd say we're on track to do so! #bgg #boardgames

Hey all! Chez Meeples is moving to a new location, so our streams have been on pause. We're loosely hoping to be back up and running in early May, but are focused on making sure we're set up properly first. Enjoy some pics of old shelves being emptied and new shelves being filled! #boardgames #bgg

It was the first time we'd used it - having utilized it without, I don't know how much the rails do beyond helping preserve the paper of the loop. Having a disc reach the top of the loop then have gravity take over was pretty common :)

Assorted Meeples @assortedmeeples.bsky.social · 06/03/2026

We had a blast last night at First Turn Games with the bring your own game night! We built some crazy race tracks in Pitch Car and saw cool tricks during the race! Last week's run of Roll For It by @calliopegames.bsky.social was also a rousing success, with some cool battles for 15 point cards!

We tried a ton of new games as a group, have been privileged to work with multiple game companies, and have a ton of things we're looking forward to as the new year unfolds. I switched up our video game rotation a bit, and figured out more of what folks seem to like from us too. 'cont'd

As we start 2026, I want to take a moment to reflect on 2025. I got to go to Origins for the first time, as well as Gen Con, meeting a ton of amazing artisans, content creators, and board game enthusiasts. We started demoing board games at our LGS, and work on a few projects continues. 'cont'd

December was a chaotic month. I (Braden) went in for a second cornea procedure right ahead of Christmas right after one in November, and while this one has been much more successful, it has come with the usual need for rest and recovery, so much less posting as a result. 'cont'd
