Catan Board Game

Cracking out #Catan for #familygameday 🐑🌾🪨🪵🧱 What #games are you playing today?

“Grab the Mic” game set up on a table.

Tried a new #game today and we can see why it’s going #viral! Had a ton of fun playing #GrabtheMic and getting to check out some new songs. The game allows for 2-10 players.

Anytime! 👏🏼

Check out our friends over at #HatchlingGames! 🫶🏼 They have some great #ttrpg offerings 🧡🩵

Our thought exactly 😂

Someone made a “Hot Buff Duo” Minecraft skin for the Duolingo Mascot. We do not know why.

Found this gem while searching for new #Minecraft skins.

I have 2 questions for the original creator:
Who hurt you? and, Are you okay?

Port of Entry - Introduction to Casting - Variant Ventures One of my favorite elements in Dungeons and Dragons is spell casting. No offense to any of the fighters out there (myself included), but why […]

Whether your #DnD character was born or imbued with arcane abilities or learned their skills through magical studies, #casting can take some getting used to!

This graphic shows the break down for Area of Effect Spells in Dungeons & Dragons. It shows the area effected by 5ft, 10ft, and 20ft radial spells as well as 15ft and 30ft cones.

Many #AreaofEffect spells have wreaked havoc in campaigns hosted around the world. Have you ever narrowly escaped or lost a character to one of these spells? We would love to hear about your encounters! ✨

New Cover Art for the upcoming Daggerheart RPG System from Critical Role’s Darrington Press with a release date (May 20th, 2025). Features two primary figures, one tall in a suit of armor, another goblin style and stature character wielding a magic staff looking through an arcane door.

Have you heard? #Daggerheart, a new RPG system from @criticalrole.bsky.social and @darringtonpress.bsky.social is coming out May 20th, 2025! 🗡️❤️‍🔥
We are so excited for you to learn how to play and will be here to help guide your Daggerheart journey! ✍🏼✨

Had to crack out a few more whiteboard for gameplay and get creative with point tracking, but man is #monsdrawsity fun! ✍🏼

That’s a great question. I was very surprised that they weren’t available. So far no word on re-issuing promos but I wonder if they might host special events in the future or simply open trading up for more cards?

It’s still a relatively new game so I think there are a lot of unknowns!

Happy Caturday!

We thought we’d share our team’s party of feline adventurers from across the east coast.

Say hello to Parker (white and grey), twins Ella and Earle (grey), & Sombra (black)!

What D&D class would you give them?
