Here we go again... #chessphracts
A four-player chessboard, normal 8x8 squares in the middle, with four "wings" on each side, 3x8, containing the red/green/blue/yellow player pieces.

The government *still* isn’t tracking how often immigration agents detain U.S. citizens. We are. 500+ Americans have been handcuffed, held at gunpoint or held against their will in Trump’s second term. Our tally is almost certainly an undercount. THREAD (content warning: violence) ⬇️

Had a fantastic time at the Jerry's Map workshop at the Grand Rapids Art Museum today—we drew and collaged our own panels and assembled them together, people showed off their own maps and decks, and got to chat a lot with Jerry and Meg, who are just the best people. I need more of this in my life.

2 things, in ascending order of importance: 1) Polls are Possibility but they don't vote; don't stop working. 2) El-Sayed has Massive support in a mid-west rust-belt state while vocally supporting transgender kids & adults/directly Dismissing claims that trans people are "dangerous."

Yep, just like graph paper, basically, with just a little bit of data pulled in from elsewhere. I could make it much fancier, but I want to get the mechanics down all the way before I spend a lot of time with formulas and have to do it all over again... again. :D

We were on our way to the laundromat this morning and passed by a house around the corner from us with a handmade sign on it that said "Birthplace of Diana Ross" and we were like, sick hustle, bro. But then we googled it, and sure enough! (It's right around the corner from Doctor Detroit auto shop)

Lol, it's not a good process. 😂 I've got three map sheets (one player facing, one GM facing, one "big map" with more details), some of which run off an "Atlas" tab that has system/faction info, some of which I'm still tweaking by hand. The rest is just manually doing borders and fills...

Marc Majcher @majcher.bsky.social · 14/09/2026
Update: I am definitely going to run this. 🤣 (I spent last week making mech battle maps and assets for Owlbear, and I'm finalizing the GM guide and google sheets for everything and it's *so much* but it's gonna rule. Early 2027, most likely!) ((I'm also gonna need to recruit GMs for this, so...)

a coalition stands together, that's how it generates and wields power in the political arena. on top of being basic human decency, standing up for trans people is politically expedient.

I have a ton of board games, and I'm looking to unload a bunch both because I'm broke and because we're moving soon, and. I guess games are just really expensive these days? I was looking at the replacement cost for like, my unopened copy of Root that I bought for $40 in 2019 and it's $60 now? Huh.

I am bummed that the place we live now—which is smaller than our previous place—does not have a table or other surface on which to play games. I am double bummed that the next place we will live—which will be even smaller than this one—most likely will not, either. (Hobbies? In this economy? 😂😢😭)
