You can never plan for everything in an RPG session but a bird flying into the basement and the ranger turning it into an animal handling LARP was certainly nowhere in my notes.

Pandemic extra messed it up for me because introducing a 3-4 year gap in between when kids really change. It breaks my brain

If you want to see a panicked expression on the face of your friend in the tabletop game industry, say the words "On this day next month Gen Con will be over already."

This is good. This is VERY GOOD. The tip I would leave for the quality of that joke, and the likely face the customer made, would be large.

I know nothing about PLAN 9 FROM OUTER SPACE. I don't know the murderous aliens behind it, particularly Xarzon, who is a good friend. Anything they do, including raising the dead to destroy humanity, I wish them luck. But it has nothing to do with me. Hail Xarzon.

I mean no judgement if you want some sexy rocks in your life, but at that point you're not allowed to use the term "realism" ever again.

One of my least favorite trends of the last 10ish years of game pitching. (I feel similarly about sell sheets)

I finally saw a cybertruck this week in real life and the very first thing that occurred to me was how much it resembles a taco bell quesadilla press. Add wheels to this grill and you would not be able to distinguish between them

Gotten a whole bunch of boardgame followers today (which I'm grateful for) but fair warning: I'm mostly going to be shouting about politics moreso than talking boardgames nowadays.

Donald Trump called Biden a manchurian candidate and said Israel should "finish the job" and nobody is calling for him to step down and it's making me feel fucking crazy. It's people are saying this shit at this point just because they *can* influence the democratic party.

Why not… I took a stab at making a #boardgame Starter Pack. Suz’s thread of folks to follow was a big help to me when I got here so I was inspired to try this.

Game designer retreat meant a bunch of prototypes. Also got to be the first person to log a play of Talisman: Alliances. And really need to get a copy of Cabanga. I enjoyed that a lot.
