Tonight I get to do a Lancer!
Having fun grappling a boss enemy and overloading my reactor. How's your evening going?

A game of Hive (pocket edition) with a very developed and wacky board state.
Today is a good day.

We had a good #boardgamenight this last week! We played Avatar: The Last Airbender board game, Star Realms, and whatβs become a weekly favorite, Thunder Road! We often end up getting looks with people shouting as the dice are rolled and the cars blow up. #boardgames

Join us this weekend easily our best show to date!
You can also watch on Twitch. Hit up our discord for the info.
As the story goes, I believe the adage was "what's good for my goats is good for me."
Though how we go from there to the roasting/grinding/water part is still baffling to me.
For me, coffee blows my mind. Somebody was like "yeah this fruit is fine but what if we take the pits, roast them, grind them into a powder, and then pour hot water through them?"
Crazy genius that the world should give thanks for.
Freshly set up game of Thunder Road Vendetta with me playing purple.
I guess it's time to do a race.

I find it ironic that my local one will have a nice haul but it's bc of me, not in benefit to my library π
Sadly the complete opposite. I'm in NY, the Hudson Valley area north of the city.
If you're not on our discord, I invite you to join us. Often we'll post things there, which included when I was selling these for cheap (would ship if the buyer was OK paying shipping). For the future.
Sold what I could. The rest are being given away because they can't stay with me anymore.
Sad to see some of them go, but realistically it was time. Hadn't played them for years and likely still wouldn't. I hope they all find good homes.

Well, some local people are about to be very happy about board game finds at the local charity shop.

The Jesse Lonergan Unveiled deck. Each card is a contrast between it's art and a box in the center which features a different scene slotting in with the edges of the larger art around it.
I don't talk much about my personal life here. I'm debating maybe just slightly changing that? Dunno. We'll see if it lasts.
Anyway, here's a fun fact about me: I read tarot. Ironically I learned on a thoth deck so 99% of decks confound me (being based on RWS). I am finally learning them.
A party horror game? What could go wrong?
Our review of This Game Is Killer: Alien on Board by @smirkanddagger.bsky.social, a clever small board game that recreates a classic horror movie as you betray your friends to survive.

To think it was just 6 months ago I posted regularly. Feels like forever.
Anyway have a cat update!
This is a very relatable problem. Ironically we just finished an event we do each year on the SnD discord: Finish the Damn Game Month, where folks can win some fun prizes for clearing out titles in their backlogs.

02.10.2025 15:22 β π 2 π 0 π¬ 0 π 0Dig this piece! One aside I think about a lot is how today's big budget games want to tell mature, nuanced stories, but still want killing to be the central thing you do in them. And as a result, so many of the those stories have to be ABOUT violence in some way. Lots circling the same ideas!

I hear that the Epic store will soon be offering Nightingale on its free offerings.
I played over 200 hours wrote about it. Then played 200 more hours after the Realms Rebuilt update. If you were curious, I happen to have an early access review right here for you:
