I acquired this in a fundraising sale from a St. Louis group whose friend had brain cancer. There was a picture of him in the box. I kept it taped to our game shelf. His name was John.

Being thrilled about drafting those striking dice kept me engaged for several games — until more enterprising opponents showed me how nasty that comboing could get.

Goodbye, Old Friends: The Board Game Cull à la Dunkirk — Breakup Gaming Society Board game culls can be highly emotional. Join me in briefly mourning these titles and celebrating their new chance at life.

Three stacks of boardgames sit in the middle of a room full of stacks of other stuff — CDs, framed pictures — awaiting clearout preparatory to a move.

All three of these stacks went into my neighbor JoJo's car last night. I'm putting my house on the market and these can't come along. Do you have memories or stories of any of these titles? Put them in the comments, I'd love to hear yours. (Complete list with link below) 👇

Strong week.

Parts of a visible hand show us details of a Savior card and a weapon card from the game, Final Girl: The Killer from Tomorrow.The card at left shows varying things that happen if the kid (based on John Connor from T2) trusts your Final Girl; at right, a picture of a sawed-off shotgun (Boomstick) and icons and text depicting its effects/stats

In Wyoming, my man Fritz played his first-ever game of Final Girl (Killer from Tomorrow). The same weekend, I got my Madness in the Dark movie back out. I interviewed him before and after our games. Hear our talk with link in comments 👇

Lichoma TTRPG Deep-Dive Interview + SETI Preview — Breakup Gaming Society It's a taste of optimistic Euro-style play before the vapors of the bleak and compelling Lichoma meatpunk RPG blot out the stars.

www.breakupgamingsociety.com/episodes/set...

Elements of the indie tabletop roleplaying game Lichoma: a box with game title and a giant cleaver graphic; a standing brochure with red/black/white art and the headline, "failure."

I interviewed @liberludorum.com about the grisly near future of Lichoma, the visual triumph of the artifact itself, and what you can expect as a resident of The Wen.

Listen to Walt talk this thing with me👇

A picture of three bagged comic books in a row — The New Defenders, Scout and Marvel Secret Wars — beneath a number of six-sided dice in several colors, some loose and some in rectangular plastic cases.

When somebody supports the show, sometimes a gem will pop up outta that '80s comics box. Bet you can guess which one this donor picked.

Excited to once again be working with @printinkling.bsky.social on developing a boffo new wearable for Breakup Gaming Society. It won't be for sale, but it will be part of the — if I may say so — inspired small gift package I send to people who follow through on the Donate page. Stay tuned.

I'll go on record here, too. This was an impressive kickoff. Starkville salutes your crew.

Your stocking stuffer and problem is solved. Give Midnight Market a look and shop some small game makers.

Started a living post at Breakup Gaming Society where capsules and links for all my #indie #ttrpg interviews with @liberludorum.com will live. Episode 104, dropping in six days, will feature a chat about the soul-flensing and stunning Lichoma.

Cave Evil Reprint: The Resurrection of the Pedal-to-the-Metal Cult Hit — Breakup Gaming Society When the joy of playing a Stygian slugathon all weekend with your friends builds an underground fantasy wargame franchise.

www.breakupgamingsociety.com/episodes/cav...

B/W illustration of a Skeletal Monstrosity creature from the Cave Evil dungeon wargame, depicting a four-legged skeletal being with immense horns rising from its raised hindquarters. It is surrounded by stat numbers and card effect description.

I'd never seen anything like Cave Evil when it hit my radar in 2011. An utter commitment by three friends who simply had to design the dungeon wargame they wanted to play.

I interviewed co-designer and fellow Coloradan Nate Hayden about the decision to reprint it in 2024. Interview's down there 👇

"Once your eyes map a face in the night boughs, you’ll start searching it out whether you want to see it or not; mine is a giant or golem with a steam shovel jaw."
