A cow wearing a t-shirt with the word "SICKOWS" on it looks through a window at 4 crudely made tools and says "MOO... HA HA HA... MOO!!"

spoke with the executive director of my local food bank today and got this really incredible line: "if you donate 1 can of green beans, we can give away 1 can of green beans. but if you donate a dollar, we can give away 6 cans of green beans"

Amanda Panda is excited to host John D. Clair, who shares insights about his upcoming game, Mystic Lands, launching soon on Kickstarter. Together, they also highlight their favorite deck-building games. Check it out! #BoardGames #Kickstarter

Example of a city generated by watabou's Medieval Fantasy City Generator. This is procedurally generated by an algorithm, not genAI. There is a walled city with a castle

The name riffs on @shing.bsky.social's wonderful keepsake game, A Mending.

In A Sending, you use watabou's Medieval Fantasy City Generator to procedurally generate a city and then write a postcard based on your imaginary stay there!

Always happy to see an enthusiastic review from TCbH 😁

if someone hits me with a pronounced "HOWEVER" during a rules teach i start salivating like pavlov's fuckin loser

IT'S SPACE SAVING!

I have a whole thing about small indie designers/publishers making great games from the heart. I had the chance to play Club Spooky a few weeks ago and was utterly charmed by it.

There's tension in the simple auction system that lures club goers to your hall, solid scoring and tableau building...

I’ve been working for 15 years as an animator and I can tell you without a doubt, the best fix I ever found for imposter syndrome is living a full life where your days and worth don’t hinge on whether or not you were a good animator today.

More people should write in books they own. Annotations are a gift.

Two panels. Above the left, it says: "Games I brought to game night". We see Heinze carrying a very big and heavy backpack holding at least 15 games (it shows the outlines of the boxes through the bag). Above the right panel it says: "Games we played at game night". We see the same image of Heinze carrying the back pack with only one small game highlighted in the entire backpack.

New comic! Bringing loads of games to game night and only ending up playing one or two small ones... Who else does this? 😂

So today's Halloween newsletter from @lauraehall.bsky.social features this Japanese pumpkin monster and two intruiging tidbits about it - it's the only known image of this creature and it's from a *board game*.

So of course, I had to know more, which lead me down a really fun rabbit hole
