Hold My Beer In the summer, @indigopotter.bsky.social, DJ (the designer), and I started a weekly game of Hold My Beer. It has quickly become one of my, if not THE, favorite trick takers and launched me into tarot game obsession. What an incredible game. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/43...

I'd like to recommend Split Tarock for your Tarocktober festivities. Easier to get to the table, as you only need one other player. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/47...

Bid, stash, and try for the half-wit in this tarock for two.

The world feels very unsettled, and art isn’t always the priority in these trying times. Even so, I'm here and keep on making. These are my latest one-of-a-kind raku vessels available now. A share or like to help them find their people would mean a great deal. 🙏
6 raku vases in a grid with a white background in two rows of three.  There is a vase name in black text under each image, from left to, to right bottom, the names are Lagoon Nebula, Draconis, Skyfire, Pinwheel, Persueus'Cloud, Tethy's Tide.A closeup of 3 vases glowing in the reduction firing of the raku process.

Next Tuesday, I'm launching Metal Scraps Covered in Moss, a small-form, solo junk journaling #TTRPG #zine of Noticing. It is a 7-day campaign, no frills, no stretch goals. $15 gets you both zines, one with the text and the other to journal in. Thanks for sharing. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...
an image of two zines, one closed and one open. the closed zine has an image of green forest floor on it and reads, "metal scraps covered in moss, a solo game of uncovering what once was" The other zine is open with lots of script and paster-in scraps of paper.
Two flat zines, one in green and the other in ember brown.

While I can still stomach it, peppermint tea helps me. Or peppermint lip balm. A hot shower to relax the back of my head, followed by sitting where it's cool if possible. Level two is saltines and some cold Coke. We always keep those in the house, and gel ice packs in the freezer.

I've played it a dozen or so times (last time in Feb.). People who already know a promoted rank-joining-trump game like Mu will probably have an easier time. Also those that like making (or busting) a nil bid like Spades. Bid possibilities / bids are public. Try to squeeze other players to miss.
