When I give lectures about my career to college art and design students, I always have an advice slide in my presentation that says “Learn to do drugs responsibly.”

A screenshot of CGE’s instagram page:

“With the above in mind, and after many heartfelt and vital discussions both internally and with members of the affected community, we have decided to donate 100% of the profit from this game to appropriate charitable organizations. We will ensure that an amount equal to our greater than the fee paid to license this product will go directly to organizations that provide support for the trans community.

We evaluate profits and make charitable-giving decisions each December, and we will continue using this annual process to direct the games profits. We will listen to recommendations from the community to help guide our choices of organizations that provide support for the trans community. Or goal is to select those that offer direct, practical help to people in need — for example, services similar to the emergency hotline that was recently discontinued.”

It's so incredible! This is basically the party game I have always dreamed of. Between Spots and Hot Streak, Jon Perry has taken over my game nights where we just need something light and fun

Rascal News Rascal is a tabletop roleplaying game and culture outlet striving to sustainably publish voicey journalism that is compelling, deeply-reported, and fearlessly honest. We’re also a little cheeky

As the TTRPG media sphere contracts, we're expanding -- Rascal is hiring a news writer!

We're running a short 2 week pledge drive, offering a 6 month, 25% discount, celebrating our Diana Jones Award... nomination... in order to support this new hire.

I’ve basically played all of the narrative exploration games, and I think Vantage might take the cake. @stonemaiergames.com

As an annoying extrovert with too many books, I am both offended and excited about this game 😜

Big congrats on having such a good con and fuck yeah on making it all happen!

Original Magic lore is dead. Hasbro investors will see all mainline Magic sets as failures. All will be replaced by Universes Beyond. When they run out of IPs to exploit, sales will dip back to pre-Universes Beyond levels and every armchair critic will say "Magic is dead." 🎶 The circle of life 🎶

Not really. They released one about six months ago. But there are soooo many champions and they’re all good.

Leviathan Wilds Work together to remove binding crystals and heal the ailing leviathans.

I can't heap enough praise on Leviathan Wilds by @mooncrabgames.bsky.social. It's such a simple loop, but every turn feels agonizing yet somehow makes me feel like I'm making smart decisions. It's as close to perfect as a game can get. boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/35...

Well this should get a totally normal and reasonable response from Eklund-heads.

Negative review?!! Obviously you didn't play it enough times, you played it wrong, the deluxe edition fixes it, and politics have no place in games 😂😭

The new Ashes decks are looking super fun. Lots of moving dice around and manipulating them in this playthrough. @teamcovenant.com youtu.be/JakpHX8-Xtc
