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

Thanks for playing! I'll have to try more variants. I like Omaha and Pineapple.

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."

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.

Oops I wish I could edit. I meant synonyms meaning "felon" for visitors to use, of course.

CooperJohn @cooperjohn.bsky.social · 14/02/2025

Synonyms for visitors: outlaw, loser, offender, malefactor, con, lawbreaker, delinquent.

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….
