I fear we’re ignoring the reality that there are people who think it’s a fine idea to throw our rulebooks into an LLM and have it spit out a vibe-coded version of our games Players will take advantage of opportunities to “try the game” and form their opinions based on these… things

Hexed Electron is flinging raccoons into a haunted house @hecticelectron.com · 09/10/2026
So close to making the haunted house map available as an add-on for all raccoon backers. When I tell you how gleefully I worked on this ... I could _see_ the house. I think you'll see it too. Happy hauntings! www.kickstarter.com/projects/hec...

That part about the components definitely bothered me, especially as someone who usually chooses component color based on what I'm able to see color vision wise. That said, I loved my play of it enough that it really stuck with me.

THE ABSOLUTE PERFECT BIT BOWL FOR BOARD GAMES HAS ARRIVED AND IT’S $1.50 AT DOLLAR TREE! Not an advertisement but definitely an endorsement; I just bought all five. www.dollartree.com/greenbrier-k...
Five “Cat Bowl”s from Dollar Tree and a deck of cards for scale. One bowl is overturned to show the rubberized bottom. Each bowl is a different color.

@peppermintfox.bsky.social picked this up for me as my first anniversary (paper) present ❤️. It's been on my list that I've been looking for at game stores ever since @phantommeeple.bsky.social and @thebakermeeple.bsky.social taught it to us at Grandcon last year!

I make something like Rayroads - the space train game that ends when capitalism has exterminated all life - and people assume I'm some kinda doomer or bummer to be around and no, I'm just angry, because things can be better anger is as much about hope as it is despair, both felt urgently

GOP lying about trans people again because they can't get anyone that fits the narrative they're laying out? I'm shocked, shocked I tell you!

I think that the impact is intentional for sure. I don't want to judge the overall story based on the initial impression we had, because there's definitely room for it to develop...but the initial shock sure hit us like a ton of bricks.

Tonight we started our playthrough of King's Dilemma after it sitting on my shelves for a number of years waiting for the right group. I'm still processing what I thought...I like what the game system delivers a lot but the subject matter was visceral...especially in today's climate.

Aly and I went to Matty Matheson's restaurant Rizzo's House of Parm to kick off our anniversary vacation tonight. While the chicken parm was great, the carbonara and Focaccia absolutely stole the show for us.

So I played retaliation solo on BGA as my first full Nemesis game (I've played the 20 strong version) and I was missing something. I haven't played the other two, but have the original on my shelf of aspiration. It'd be hard for me to give you a good rec on that. C:DMD is outstanding though!

I had a couple of discoveries during the game as well! It feels great to pull that one tile that gives you 3-4 pieces of information.

I wanted to play more but we had other games that we needed to table. Heading up to Toronto tomorrow and stopping by a few game stores so hopefully one will have it!

I've heard a lot about "Got Five" (Yoann Levet, Blue Orange) and got the chance to play it during a recent game day. This is on my shortlist to pick up. Accessible logic experience in a relatively small box and a play time that allows players to pick up another round immediately afterwards.

When the 205live boys had to sneak out to meet Pac, we just wanted to see our friend again. Our fearless leader. 

Pac wanted to meet us for something else. He told us that he wanted to apologize for leaving. That he felt he left us hanging. We had to assure him that we all supported him and him fighting the machine. Despite everything he was going through, he was thinking of us. 

As we said our goodbyes, Pac pulled me aside and said “Don’t let the rat bastards pull you down, bubba.”
