We are calling for an immediate stop to all purchases from Upper Deck. Their total lack of communication is distressing—so we call upon everyone to help us escalate. No purchases from Upper Deck. No media coverage or posts of their games. Upper Deck will only respond when it hurts their wallets.

It’s official! I can talk about it! I’ve spent the last 2+ years leading the narrative for the Magic: the Gathering Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles set! I’m excited to see all of this release! TMNT is such a weird, wild franchise that meshes weirdly well with Magic magic.wizards.com/en/news/feat...

This thread. Board games could be so much bigger than they are… but deep hobbyists quickly lose perspective on how unusual it is to own dozens (or more) games and how “light” is a meaningless thing when trying to engage the masses.

If you go to one of these Fathom Events screenings and you're a board game fan... make sure to be there for the adverts at the beginning. Our team had a lot of fun making game commercials to air at these. 🤩

Nobody will ever know everything about gaming. There will always be gaps. There will always be something new to learn. Assuming you're a curious and open-minded person, this is neither a problem or a personal flaw - it's healthy. Enjoy yourself. kimimithegameeatingshemonster.com/2021/03/15/t...

Played a special homebrewed Marvel United mini-campaign today at @gamesandstuffmd.bsky.social , created by @robertcampbell.bsky.social (who needs go post the group pic because I forgot to take one) Peep that final boss though 👀

Table with board game spaces, each a location for heroes and villains to fight it out.

Marvel United Heroes minis Spiderman, Storm, Rogue, Captain America

Final boss: the robber from Catan! Board game spaces set up but Catan homebrewed boss looms large

As an avid supporter of print-and-play roll-and-write #BoardGames, I'm dismayed by the increase of "AI art" used by the designers. This is what I sent to a designer today. So bummed, the game looks good. But there are lots of good games coming out and I'll toss my $ at those not using AI "art".

Congrats on the launch of Moonlight! The game looks amazing mechanically. I sincerely hope in the future you'll reconsider using generative AI. I understand you're an independent operator and art costs seem like a frustrating expense. But regardless of the post AI human touch and the check that it doesn't outright copy existing art, both the sourcing the AI system uses and the environmental impact of those systems are really awful. I know you know this and don't want to hear from a stranger (though I am a backer of previous work) but I would love to be able to support your work in the future. All the best.

One thing I try to remind folks in the board game industry is that hobbyists quickly forget how complex our hobby is. What we call a "light" game is considerably heavy and odd to the vast majority of people in the country.
