Thanks for subscribing Sam! And the EDGE comparison is spot on - that was always our go-to video-game mag.

When I got said shirt in the mail from @senetmagazine.bsky.social, I realized I mistakenly ordered a SMALL when I am most definitely not a small person.

So I ordered a LARGE. And will be gifting the small to someone at work.

Just got round to reading @mattthr.bsky.social โ€˜s piece on Lovecraft in boardgames for @senetmagazine.bsky.social and it was excellently done. Senet keeps on being such a great place for long-form pieces like this.

Not one but two packages waiting for me when I got home from my trip - the latest copy of @senetmagazine.bsky.social (always excited to read more words from @timclare.bsky.social) - and a copy of Nokosu Dice, via @travelgames.bsky.social, which I've heard nothing but great praise for #boardgames
