We're nearly two weeks out from launching our KS campaign for a new printing of John Company and Molly House 🎉

Image from the Simpsons of Pynchon with a bag over his head on a cell phone. He's standing in front of a house with a neon sign advertising it as his home.

Alright, let's do it. Here's a little prospective reader's guide to every Thomas Pynchon novel. We'll take them in order of publication. This might be a long thread. Buckle up! 1/x

Toy Battle is delightful

I'm sure there is an AoD game hidden in there. If not, there should be!

Real Moytura, Guys I’ll confess it was a little surprising to unfurl Moytura’s board and see such a literal depiction of Ireland. After the suffocating hoplite melee of Iliad, the checkerboard Mount Olymp…

Moytura is the fourth title in Bitewing's Mythos Collection. As two clans race to control Ireland, they face pushback from the wild corners of the island, creating a world that's intriguing and desperate. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/09/24/m...

A little evening prototyping.

Chariots of Frickin’ Fire It is wild to me, utterly wild, that in 2025 CMYK has released not one but two racing games. Even wilder that the second, slipstreaming in the wake of Jon Perry’s Hot Streak, should be a rema…

Magical Athlete is back and better than ever. This game is full of loud laughter, crazy abilities, and more joy than a hundred other games combined. It is perfect. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/09/16/m...

Today we're announcing a small change in plans on our fall schedule. I'm still busy with the second edition of An Infamous Traffic and Hell Raisers is making great progress, but higher demand than anticipated and the vagaries of Trump's stupid trade policies means we need to get reprinting!

An Archivist’s Dream – A Recounting of John Company, the Megagame It’s 1710 and the world is in turmoil. Maybe. I’m not sure. as the Company and the state of its affairs are sprawled out on a massive table on one end of the room, and I’m at the …

At the beginning of August I attended Gen Con, as I usually do. This year was different. This year, I participated in an adapted megagame of John Company: Second Edition alongside 50 other people. It was insane. It was brilliant. My thoughts on the event:

Update: GMT's CROSS BRONX EXPRESSWAY game is shipping September 2025 👀

The designer (Non-Breaking Space) shared a photo of their game in front of the abandoned building (no longer there) & South Bronx street corner depicted on the box which was visited by Presidents Carter and Reagan 40+ years ago

Lately the party game that's been working best for me is... Yubibo

I’m just measuring the temperature - not really expecting that the majority of my followers even heard of my first “proper” game - but how would you feel about an officially nicely printed second edition of my card game All Is Bomb with new art, new expansions, maybe coming in 2026?

Coming soon: Take From the Studio that brought you Root and Arcs, join the crew!

Coming to Kickstarter later this year ... a new heist game from us, Leder Games! The Kickstarter preview page for Take is live now! Follow along to be notified at launch: bit.ly/LGTake

Also A+ music from Drew
