Tabletop industry in full panic as Trump tariffs are poised to erase decades of growth ‘Devastating consequences’ on the way, says trade group

Co-signing @ckunzelman.bsky.social saying @chasecarter.bsky.social has been working on this, and Charlie Hall was before the Polygon purge. GAMA for sure has been yelling, as have most publishers. Even TTRPG publishers are worried their books might get reclassified as games.

Designed by CNA, "LEXICON" is an in-the-box #wargame designed to help military staffs to explore & learn about capabilities in the #information and #influence environment. It is immensely valuable to get feedback from IO planners to help refine the game design. #wargaming

#ManeuverWarfare is finally hitting the streets! If you pre-ordered from @thedietzfoundation.bsky.social, copies are going out as we speak. And now that I’ve got my own official copy, I finally get the @sebastianbae.bsky.social card back that mysteriously wandered off at Modern Day Marine!

A Wargame to Take Taiwan, from China’s Perspective In August 2025, 25 international experts gathered at Syracuse University to do something unusual: plan China's invasion of Taiwan. For two days,

I love the idea of wargame design centered on China's perspective and decision space in a Taiwan contingency. So it's disappointing that they didn't discuss the design or execution more. Personally, I want to do a #wargame centered on TWN will to fight.

"Beyond tactical insights, the game created significant value by providing a stage for professional conversations. The game’s fast pace required direct non-hierarchical discussions, which created a favourable learning environment and fostered collaboration."

In July, my new laptop transformed into a paper weight. I lost the entire Andor prototype and 3 months of event card work and graphic assets on Penitent. Sometimes losing one's place gives perspective on a design project. Have you ever lost progress only to find a new direction with a design?

NEW EPISODE! I chat with @gregisonthego.bsky.social about his excellent zine RULEBOOKS FOR RADICALS, his work, and finding design inspiration in dire times. We only got sidetracked on Process Era 76'ers for a tiny bit, but GDDD is never a slave to the algorithm. www.buzzsprout.com/1993070/epis...

Last year, I made a #wargame for @sebastianbae.bsky.social Indopacific microgames kit, Ambush from the Depths. I have now made a digital version of that game with @godotengine.org. I discovered unanticipated difficulties in turning board games into computer games, but learned from the experience.1/3

Wasn’t sure how my non-military lib/progressive friends would like wargamming…they loved it, 10/10 recommend

Please please please everyone (pls reskeet) who is involved with a uni/college academic program (broadly speaking) conected to games Could you write a quick comment + links if any apply to what you and your institution are doing in that sphere? I need to show what's out there. 1/

Heartfelt thanks to the Peruvian Naval Tactical Center for hosting three sessions of my "Littoral Commander: Indo-Pacific" #wargame. It was amazing to host young officers from various communities at the same gaming table -- spanning from special forces to submariners. 🎲 💥 #wargaming

Taiwan needs U.S. intervention if China uses military force in a blockade. Taiwan’s military could defeat a non-military effort by China, but it struggled against even a limited Chinese military effort.

What if Russia invades the Baltic? A tabletop game offers answers “Littoral Commander: The Baltic” depicts a Russian invasion of the Baltic region around 2030.

What would happen if Russia invaded the Baltic region? "Littoral Commander: Baltic" is a new tabletop game that explores that question -- and shows how the modern kill chain works. My latest for Defense News.

Sebastian Bae speaking about wargaming

Special thanks to the Peruvian Naval War College in hosting me and CNA at SISEDE 2025. It was a pleasure to discuss the utility of #wargaming for professional military education and the value of gaming with allies & partners in the theater.

Great to see our alumni representing wargaming!

I NEED THIS SO BADLY. What a clever way to represent the undersea domain! If you had the poles on extendable ones, you could even include depth relative to each unit! #wargaming

"The key to winning “Littoral Commander” can be summed as: “What can be seen can be destroyed, so don’t be seen.”"

YouTube video by Georgetown University Wargaming Society Wargaming and the Just War

"Ensure Just War considerations are built into every professional wargame (unless you want an unjust war of course). Wargame post bellum before you start the real war."
