A slide that reads "Presenting games primarily as  consumer products undermines arguments to preserve and make them accessible as an art form." from a MAGFest panel. That panel from the Dark Knight Returns where he breaks the gun also is on there.

That's what I'm talking about.

Risk Legacy is Β£18 in Morrisons! As a game it's fine, but as an artefact of board game history it's a must-have. The game that kicked off the Legacy craze, and pioneered several things that are now commonplace.

We've got two copies. Never finished either.

Got a pitch for a high-risk game show exclusively for German coeliacs:

Gluten Tag.

I'll see myself out.

We didn't make it in the end! Absolutely gutted. Hope it went well, and best of luck with the rest of the tour.

Hi Jay! I have a ten year old daughter who obsesses over your videos. I'm thinking of bringing her on Wednesday, do you get many kids at these? I don't wanna bring her if it's an adults only affair.

I'm so sorry, I hope you can overcome this setback.

I'm in the same boat! If you find an alternative, I'd love a recommendation. (And I'll let you know if I find one.)

This is a half formed thought but we need to remain aware of the fact that the culture of "left vs right" ignores "up vs down". Especially because it feels like a lot of people conflate "left" with "lower left" and "right" with "upper right". It muddies the water and makes actual engagement hard.

We've officially entered slow cooker season. Nothing like coming home to a house that smells like stew!
