"Oh no! All the life saving inhalers in the world emit the same pollution as half a million cars! How many cars are there actually in the world?"
"1.4-1.6 billion"
"Oh, so it's .03% of the pollution from cars alone? Cool, stfu"

How'd it feel? Less Diplomatic?

Looks like someone is Galvanizing and Liberating...

I really love it and keep itching for more plays of it. The 3-4 player games are so much more interaction than I expected from it

Hey Gamers. We're Back.

We "finished" in that the Axis powers conceded after Tokyo fell and Japan's navy would be wiped off the map in the subsequent next two actions. I don't know if I've ever FULLY completed an A&A game, but I'm by no means good at it

I had to talk everyone into it but it made the company slack a fun place to post updates. We're talking about what our next office Async game will be. Some folks are pushing for Burning Banners...

The entrance to Dodongo's Cavern in Ocarina of Time. I didn't play the game until I was much older because I could only make my brother and his friends play it out of fear.

I don't have a meme, but I have this, and that feels meaningful

Book Cover for "A Life in Conflict: Sergei Eisenstein" by Ronald Bergan. It's a photo of Sergei Eisenstein and includes this quote: "Lucid...A reminder of both how great a director Eisenstein was and how much greater his achievement might have been." --Economist

Look, I started a new book. Everyone pat me on the back. I want to feel smart.

We're being really coy about it, but everyone should absolutely come to the @leder.games Hootenanny on Sat at 6pm of GenCon. Room 135.
The team has been working so hard on what we have in store and I'm so excited for everyone to see it.
You don't actually need a ticket, just come on by

Omg I love it

Paul!

Omg I had one huge box simply full of empty board game boxes I was refusing to throw away. It traveled 9 hours with me for no reason and I have begun the purge

I want to chuckle at the notion of how niche a fly fishing film festival is, but looking at the website and dang that's some beautiful videography...

Okay we all give Geoff Keighly a lot of grief for doing like no awards at The Game Awards.

But you all thought he was emulating the Oscars, when he's actually doing the Grammy's...
