We ran a 10-player game of The Gang at LFG CON. It initially sounded like a bad idea to us, but the tweaks to the gameplay make it work (the 7-10 player expansion adds zero and exit chips). w/ @panda8ngel.bsky.social @silvermedaltavern.bsky.social

I have jumped universes again. In my previous universe, Dota 2 did not exist. Anyway, good to be here, hello everyone! en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dota_2 "Internationals feature a crowdfunded prize [...] that has seen amounts in upwards of US$40 million, making Dota 2 one of the most lucrative esports."

Gina and I had a lovely time at Games and Stuff, teaching and playing The Gang! Wonderful event; great staff; excellent venue (also the coffee was sublime). Thank you G&S so much for running these monthly board game socials!

My two favorite game stores @labyrinthdc.bsky.social and @gamesandstuffmd.bsky.social are both running Thunder Road: Vendetta events for Free RPG Day. Maybe your FLGS is running one too!

This is so relatable

Interesting read - definitely worth your time. Unplugging and enjoying the outside is tougher this time of year, but definitely need to enjoy the small things of life.

Canadian MP Charlie Angus: Our beloved Canada is under threat. The threat comes from the president of the US—a convicted felon and known predator. But the threat is also being driven by the hate algorithms of oligarchs like Elon Musk….

Do you know why a president would do all the most evil and heinous shit via Executive Order? Because his party can't easily make it law. And if they can't make it law, they can't make it last. Don't let anyone make you feel like this is The End. Do not let them demoralize you. Live to see them die.

I was sorry that The Gang was not nominated for As d'Or, but happy to see that Captain Flip, a fine game, was nominated! Bon Chance, Remo Conzadori! www.festivaldesjeux-cannes.com/en/festival-...

The gag order comes ahead of a key meeting next month where CDC officials were scheduled to help the WHO pick out strains for next winter's flu vaccine. Flu vaccine manufacturers and the FDA rely on the data and findings by that panel to decide on the shots used every fall in the Northern Hemisphere

So, my Onion print edition subscription initially got lost in the mail, but @bencollins.bsky.social and crew came through with 6 months of back issues and this very illuminating letter, re: those bastards at the USPS. Thank you, Mr Tim Onion 🫡

A stack of issues of the Onion print edition with a letter on top. The letter details the Onion’s ongoing battle (both legal and metaphysical) with the USPS and is signed by the very real, very much not made up Onion Membership Team.

Broke out The Gang at the office today and it went over well. Definitely works for non poker fans as well as poker fans. Good times, and a nice and tidy printed insert to go with it! Fits all components and rules with no lid lift :) (Link to design below) makerworld.com/models/672130

Ever wonder what snow in the swamp would look like? This is 5 miles into the Louisiana swamps in the Atchafalaya basin... it's unreal... having lived down there for the first 28 years of my life, we never saw anything like this. Smashed records. Curtesy of Garrett Roberts.
