Amazon Prime folks can claim DOOM 2016 for free. An amazing game, if you haven't already got it.

Folks tanking the rating for our game (which isn't out yet) because Aragorn is depicted as a Black man. 🫠 But, if nothing else, it's too bad because their anger is gonna prevent them from playing a really awesome board game. It's their loss.

4.8 rating badge from boardgamegeek.com because people are rating it low because our game presents Aragorn as a Black man.

1 ratings have been deleted but it doesn't seem to change the topline rating. It is what it is.

I'll be at the Troy Book Fest October 24, signing copies of Do Not Seek This Treasure, and I'll be on a fantasy panel as well. I've got less than a month to figure out what I'm saying on this panel.

Strategy game night at the library this Friday so I'm refreshing my memory on the rules of Mind MGMT, Volt, Texas Chainsaw Massacre, and Pan Am. Chainsaw is a bit of an outlier but it's spooky season!

I feel like Tommy gives us a teachable moment here. For example, I can use this to teach people that Tommy is fucking stupid; and if they agree with, or like him, it makes them fucking stupid.

As someone who makes them, agreed! We strive in our games to connect the player's actions with what their characters are really doing; it's not just flipping a card or rolling dice.

All set up for a learning mission in 6:Siege. This game has great table presence. And now that I've read the rules, I think this game is more complicated than Phantom Division, which makes me feel good considering this game's success.

I watched a movie on Tubi last night, and all the commercials were for slop casino apps, and the commercials themselves were slop. They were shockingly bad, with one pronouncing its own product 3 different ways. I hope they all fail miserably.

I had no idea there was a Kickstarter in progress for the sequel to the Sega Genesis RTS classic General Chaos till just now, but it’s got only two weeks left and it needs help from the looks of it! $20 for a digital copy really ain’t that much. Spread the word! www.kickstarter.com/projects/cha...

I found a book with a tiny hole in þe cover for tiny paintings so I’m doing tiny pet commissions for $15 you’ll get a scanned in digital version of the painting. I’ll be doing watercolors and mix in some other medium. If you want my art, all you have to do is drop a reference photo in the comments.

Trials of Maya is a newcomer in the burgeoning tabletop MOBA theater. As an avowed fan of this genre (and team skirmish games), I discuss how it uniquely tackles the format and how it measures up against the best on offer. My review: playerelimination.com/2026/08/31/a...

The game has released! #ruinsOfCalaworm is a lovingly rework from an obscure early 90s German Dungeon Crawler. Think #roguelike but earlier: no ranged, no builds, few stats, deceptively simple. Just You and then Dungeon, bumping into Witches and Eldritch Horrors. --> Get it on @itch.io (Link in Bio)
