Been working hard on my Battle of Carthage (missouri) game. Let just say that I would be completely rudderless without @djackthompson.bsky.social. Can’t wait to bring it to SDhistcon.

Apparently all media right now is entirely dependent on insurance, sports gambling, and GLPs. These are dark times indeed.

The only thing distracting us from Travis’s season is the non-stop barrage of sports gambling and car insurance ads that we are forced fed all Sunday.

I have 1 cat, but about 13 cat beds! A cat tree now blocks my view of the television. Cat toys are everywhere. How did this happen? Mostly because we love the little furball.

Went down to Austin to check on our daughter at UT. Took her to a longhorns game (absolutely felt like a traitor in burnt orange) and since I’m a big Brandi Carlile fan, I talked everyone into going to a out-of-this world concert experience

Moytura is a head-to-head game that throws an extra head into the mix that both players have to manage. Area control for two with special powers and beautiful art. The @djackthompson.bsky.social & @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social duo do it again and @bitewinggames.bsky.social did a great production. 1/2

Inis is another game that hadn’t hit the table in ages. Cyclades, Kemet and Inis. A trifecta of troops-on-the-map games that each have their own twist, but feel like part of the same family.

The margin of how bad these amendments lost is mind boggling. Our governor wanted the income tax repel to be his key initiative and even my county which voted for trump with +50 margin was a +50 margin against.
