Just heard #PaxUnplugged is going full Human Made. Proud of em, it's my favorite gaming con. And it's nice to know they'd prefer to present the works of real creative human beings. That's one less sign booths need to make, but if you'd like to anyways, here's a free icon hinokodo.itch.io/human-made

I'd like to recommend Split Tarock for your Tarocktober festivities. Easier to get to the table, as you only need one other player. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47...

I will never comprehend how a person could deliver one of these “takes” & take a single word they utter seriously In reference to your beloved series with orcs, elves, dwarves, dragons, ents, & more…don’t be tossing around “accuracy” or “realism” nonsense Suzanne nailed it on the head; their loss

Folks tanking the rating for our game (which isn't out yet) because Aragorn is depicted as a Black man. 🫠 But, if nothing else, it's too bad because their anger is gonna prevent them from playing a really awesome board game. It's their loss.

4.8 rating badge from boardgamegeek.com because people are rating it low because our game presents Aragorn as a Black man.

1 ratings have been deleted but it doesn't seem to change the topline rating. It is what it is.

Digital art loosely styled like a vintage book illustration. A humanoid figure wearing a cloak, Doppel, stands in the middle of a clearing and looks over her shoulder. Stylized orange smoke rises above the tree line.
