Save 35% on GNOSIA on Steam The Gnosia lie. Pretending to be human, they’ll get in close, trick and deceive, and then eliminate one victim at a time...

Strong recommend Gnosia.

It's a single player social deduction game that tells a pretty great story about being trapped in a time loop.

It's also wonderfully and unreservedly gay.

Here's a piece that means a lot to me. I spoke to @andrewgillis.bsky.social to discuss Girl By Moonlight, their Magical Girl RPG (published by @evilhat.bsky.social). The game is full of magic, heartbreak, and bittersweet hope.

Massive thanks to @wyrdscience.bsky.social for publishing this.

Oh my goodness, I loved Darren Shan's books when I was growing up! They made a film adaptation of Cirque du Freak and I was so excited, but then it was absolutely terrible. 😅

There's a Morbius MTG Card now, whether you like it or not Yes, Morbius gets a card in Magic: the Gathering's Spiderman set - but is Spidey's vampiric rival a viable card or forgettable draft chaff?

Just published my first piece with @wargamer.com, all about the most Morbin' Magic: the Gathering card of all time. 😅

I'm a Cube guy. You get to design your own Limited format with all of your favourite cards, what's not to love? :)

Theros. I was a massive Greek mythology kid growing up and seeing Magic do its take on all of those tropes and characters was great. Heliod was such a jerk, but then Zeus was no saint either.

The gameplay of building up big Voltron creatures with Heroic was also great fun. :)

There needs to be more Vorthos content out there, thanks for this. :)

The 10 Best Creatures for Stationing Spacecrafts | EDHREC Spacecrafts are an exciting addition in Edge of Eternities. But no spaceship could fly without a crew. So here are some of the best options.

We've heard of toughness matters in Commander, but with the new Spacecrafts, it's all about the power. Ben Macready looks at some of the best and most efficient creatures to use for the station ability. By @macreadymusings.bsky.social #EDH #Commander #MTGEOE #MTGEdge

Are you reffering to a specific game here?

Here's a piece that was really interesting to write. Turbulence is a board game about the experience of the Chinese diaspora living in Indonesia. I met the game's designer at @gamestransformed.bsky.social and she gave me some insights both into the game's design and the history that inspired it.

So I've decided that I'm going to experiment with YouTube Shorts. I'll be reviewing every new Commander in Edge of Eternities in a series of minute long videos. Hope you enjoy. 🙂

It was great playing against you Josh, and being a part of this.

We'll have to get another game in some time. 🙂

I'm very excited to be a part of the @praetorsforchange.bsky.social block party fund raiser. 🥳

I'll be playing a Phyrexiatastic game of Commander from 13:15-15:15 EST (that's 18:15-20:15 UK time). Check it out. 🙂

Check out our newest YouTube short, in which @macreadymusings.bsky.social explains how the Force works in @unlimitedffg.bsky.social:

Yeah she's pretty great, hope you crack her in a pack. :)

As a a part of my ongoing mission to write about every card game under the sun, here's a piece about @unlimitedffg.bsky.social for @cardgamer.com. 😁

Thanks for getting me an invite for this, it was a great day. :)

Great deck tech. :)

If I use this deck and make some controversial plays am I the Golbez?

@synergy-thegame.bsky.social had a lot to say about what we should prioritize in City Builders. It's one of the most thought provoking simulation games that I've experienced.

The footage I've seen is less "the largest show of military might in three decades" and more fed up looking soldiers traipsing along to ill-fitting Creedence Clearwater Revival music. 🙃

I had a great time at #UKGamesExpo this weekend. 🙂There were all sorts of awesome indie creators there. Here's a piece about three great upcoming new card games that I saw.

Here's the goofiest video I have ever made. To quote the first comment, 'This is stupid and I love it, you had me at the moment you asked to ignore half of the commander's rule text.'

Here's my spicy brew for an upcoming commander. 🤩

Here's a piece about inclusivity and tabletop gaming that I think came out pretty well. 😄

Thanks so much to @gametherapyuk.bsky.social, @littlegoblingirl.bsky.social and the folks at RPG Taverns for helping me put this together.

That sounds awesome! I would 100% watch a big Prestige Drama with a cast full of orcs and ringwraiths. 😁

The nemesis system in Shadow of Mordor is amazing! 🤩

I played it years ago with my flat mate, and we still talk about an Uruk called Ûgakûga the Mindless who was the best friend that a ghost walking ranger could ever hope for.

So I'm very excited to announce that I'll be appearing on a Magic Stream this weekend hosted by @janeplaysmagic.bsky.social.

Watch me try to pop off and do stupid Simic things. 😅

Did you kick the crap out of the person sitting next to you when Jack Black said "Chicken Jockey"?

I understand that's tradition. 😁
