Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 08/10/2026Quick question, would you be able to share the email where they were soliciting the rulebook/design? It can be redacted, I'd like to see what the supposed "pitch" to designers even is for being on their service. 110

Reposted by GametrodonDan Thurot @danthurot.bsky.social · 05/10/2026I'm relieved to report that the long-awaited second edition of An Infamous Traffic is even better than the original — in gameplay, in narrative, in clarity. My preview: spacebiff.com/2026/10/05/a...spacebiff.comAgain, Opium War, AgainWhen Cole Wehrle first unveiled An Infamous Traffic way back in 2016, it was a scrappy little devil. Not only was it Wehrle’s second design, it was also the earliest releases from Hollandspie… 612521

Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026I went to Boston FIG! I played some cool games! You can read about it here! (And congrats to all the award winners!)gametrodon.comBoston FIG 2026 - GametrodonI went to Boston FIG! Here are 8 really cool games I tried, and that you should keep an eye out for when they come out! 000
Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 04/10/2026Okay so small thing before I post about more cool stuff, but one of the quiet bummers of being really into seeing in-development board and video games is seeing something cool, and then coming back to it a few years later to see that it never managed to get enough traction to become real. 110
Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 02/10/2026Excited to see this! It’s a ton of a fun, and anyone at Boston FIG who likes area control games should give it a shot! 000
Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026The timeline does not rule out that this could be him. However, he has not been officially/legally identified as the individual on the list at this point in time. An unconfirmed individual said in messages that that have now been deleted that it was him. 110
Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 01/10/2026In short: North Carolina Supreme Court demanded that UNC release names of students disciplined for violating their sexual assault policy. A name matching his is on the list, along with a semester suspension. It also appears several of his collaborators have severed ties since this came out. 110

Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 26/09/2026Bad idea: Lets just split legendary into two keywords. Name one heroic, and that means a card can be a commander. Name the other "unique" and that indicates you can only have one copy in play at a time. Keeping these two bolted together feels like it's starting to cause problems. 000

Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 22/09/2026I’m not convinced this is happening. 30th Anniversary ETBs MSRP at $70. They’re 180 on TCG player, and 140-160 on eBay. We already knew other products (premium collections) will be coming out throughout the year. Only reason to meltdown about this is if you thought you could resell at 300. 000

Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 18/09/2026I genuinely think is more likely to be a semi-insider then someone directly on the pauper panel or at Wizards. Either a third party that has penetrated WoTC systems and has access to internal information, or a contractor that has been been bribed to share this information with someone. 110

Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026It's not impressive or exciting to me to go "the human cost of war is bad actually" in your series about violence when someone else already took any of the significant tonal and thematic risks before you and made gangbusters. No amount of blizzard polish can fix that. 010
Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 12/09/2026Starcraft Dominion trailer seems really well done, but I can't help but have part of me look at this and go "Yeah, but this project would never have gotten greenlit if Helldivers didn't already exist" 100

Reposted by GametrodonDan Thurot @danthurot.bsky.social · 09/09/2026Between its adorable critters and light asymmetric gameplay, Pond presents like an entry-level Root.

Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Doesn't it also mean that if everyone gets a Veto, a single bigot can pretty easily poison the entire process, and by that extent, any process they're part of? 3383
Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 04/09/2026Doing my every 4-5 years or so reread of Naruto. It's always so surprising to me how poorly the story works on a large scale, while being incredibly compelling on a micro-scale. As a serial, it's brilliant. As a piece of work... it just makes zero sense. 000
Gametrodon @gametrodon.bsky.social · 02/09/2026to clarify: I feel like your writing is always good and informitive, but it's most impactful when it's about your life as whole, like your review of Eila and Something Shiny. Those are the pieces that stick with me the most, even if they're less "just review" then anything else. 010
