Is it time for Gen Con yet?!

One week out to Gen Con and I'm already excited to the point of complete distraction.

Also, Hi Bluesky I sort of forgot you existed for a bit there

These are so, SO good. Last year's were fine but these are absolutely worth the cost of flying to Gen Con lol

A woman working furiously on her laptop in a prime seat on the beach at the Polynesian Resort. The boats from Disney’s electric water pageant are in the background.

When the Electric Water Pageant is at 8:30 but the presentation is due at 9. #WaltDisneyWorld #wdw #Disney

Update: she called it the Gulf of Mexico and then promptly corrected herself. Old habits die hard I guess.

At a gulf beach with my wife’s MAGA aunt. So far both sides are just calling it “the gulf” let’s see who blinks first.

t-3 days to Disney and the kids are losing their M I N D S. I was just woken up at 5:30 to a lightsaber fight happening in the kitchen.

Undercover Boss but it's your Dungeon Master

That time I was sick in bed and in the depths of a cold medicine haze I apparently came up with this idea for a post:

I have to say, and I don’t want to make this a whole *thing*, but man the Wheel of Time show just does not do it for it.

It has its moments, but the highs are infrequent and the lows are LOW.

Kurt Vonnegut tells his wife he's going out to buy an envelope: "Oh, she says, well, you're not a poor man. You know, why don't you go online and buy a hundred envelopes and put them in the closet? And so I pretend not to hear her. And go out to get an envelope because I'm going to have a hell of a good time in the process of buying one envelope. I meet a lot of people. And see some great looking babies. And a fire engine goes by. And I give them the thumbs up. And I'll ask a woman what kind of dog that is. And, and I don't know. The moral of the story is — we're here on Earth to fart around And, of course, the computers will do us out of that. And what the computer people don't realize, or they don't care, is we're dancing animals. You know, we love to move around. And it's like we're not supposed to dance at all anymore."

Kurt Vonnegut man

😍

I can see how it makes some sense, it just makes me sad because Morgase was one of my favorite characters. I wish they had found a way to do what they needed without the Game of Thrones nonsense.

Well episode two is starting off with the first truly irremediable deviation from the book. I REALLY don’t see the need for that.

#TheWheelOfTime

I fucking loooove the wheel of time 😍

Me 14 years old, reading Wheel of Time 20 years ago: it would be great if __ and ___ kissed

Me tonight: Yussss

#WheelofTime

Wow so Wheel of Time is coming out of the gate *strong*

God forbid men have hobbies

One of my favorite things to read about (honestly) is when people jump into an entirely new to them industry and assume they can just "business" their way through it. Happens in the restaurant world every single day and it's always a disaster.

Wow I'm sorry to Agrax Earthshade, I was not familiar with your game

The ring tracker from the board game lord of the rings Duel showing the fellowship making it to Mt Doom with the Ringwraith only two spaces behind them.

It was a close one in LOTR duel tonight.

I have an all-day work thing tomorrow and the office manager just texted to make sure it's okay if they order empanadas for the team for lunch and I'm struggling to think of anything that would be more okay.

A small dungeon made up of individual 1x1 tiles. Mostly blue with some black and a couple orange pieces thrown in as well. General desk detritus can be seen throughout.

First mini dungeon is shaping up. Now just need to finish printing walls and then paint this sucker.

What the dems will do is, predictably, sit there quietly and do nothing that will in any way stop this train wreck.

Comment on Kickstarter: "Thank you for deciding to absorb the tariffs. But I have to say I’m not quite sure about buying your assertion that there is no cost-effective way to produce the game in the US, given that you got over a million dollars in this campaign. Of course, I realize I don’t know much about production costs and know you need to make a little profit too, but given the amount you got? (Shrug)"

The same comment on Kickstarter that edits out everything except "Thank you for deciding to absorb the tariffs. I don't know much about production costs."

The only part of this comment that matters.

JD Vance blasted on Vermont ski trip for Zelenskyy clash Protesters held signs that said "Vance is a traitor go ski in Russia" and "Stand with Ukraine."

JD Vance came to my town and we showed up show him he’s not welcome here. Love this for us.

Two worker pieces from the board game fromGe, sitting in the bistro quadrant looking at each other.

I like to imagine these two both had their dates head to the bathroom at the same time so they struck up a conversation

Yeah it’s an easy teach and once everyone knows it, it almost hits filler game territory in terms of playtime, which is nice.

The box for the boardgame Fromage. It has a landscape made out of wheels of cheeses and a cute little village thing.

After weeks and weeks playing it on BGA, I finally got this to the table in real life. #Boardgames

It's an Oreos and margaritas kind of night.
