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!

BACK-TO-BACK 🗣️

THE MINNESOTA FROST ARE THE WALTER CUP CHAMPIONS FOR THE SECOND SEASON IN A ROW!

I'm really excited to be diving into @gregisonthego.bsky.social and Nick Brachmann's Ahoy. @lordoftheboard.bsky.social is also excited and this game is worth some in depth analysis! You can expect more throughout the summer.

I'll be at UKGE at the end of the month and am looking to meet folks! Who all will be around?

I've been told before that this funny photo isn't set up correctly

YouTube video by Beyond Solitaire Game Manufacturing Q&A with Anne Kinner of Leder Games

Wondering about game manufacturing and why so many games are printed in China? My colleague, @napoleanne.bsky.social, will be joining me for a livestream on Tuesday, 4/15, at 7 PM CST! Come and ask your questions, and we'll do our best to answer them. www.youtube.com/watch?v=8crC...

Omg Pati. 🤣

Currently here: ledergamesromp.podbean.com
But over the coming week it'll start showing up on all of the various podcast apps! First new episode March 11!

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...

My four year old daughter is on her second playthrough of Thank Goodness You're Here.

I am a good father, I swear.

My first time just playing 2p, Base Ahoy.
Clutch game. We tied in the end and I won with 1 gold to my opponent's 0. I stole their gold in my last action of the game. Can't get closer than that!

It'd be a real shame if someone introduced a box sized addition to this mess...

Some say lifestyle, some say "a curse"

If we invite him here we'll just have to watch him like a hawk for cryptic banner updates. Better to leave him out in the cold

YOU CAN'T PROVE ANYTHING

If a man dreams a buggy dream, who am I to intervene?

A mediocre white kitchen with a perfect pig face holding some aprons and a sign that says Routinely Do Nothing. There is also an illustration of butter.

I think alt text is an art form.

Can I get added to "Other Industry Roles?"

I really wanted to post a photo of Greg the Bunny as a bit, but thankfully I forget about it often until I see my DVD of it in my basement...

That canceled TV show you'll never stop thinking about

Nidoking sleepin' good. Nidoking is a pokemon. He's pink and big and is kind of a spiny dinosaur. And in this picture it almost looks like he's making, like, a dirt angel like you would make a snow angel. But he also looks chill as all-get-out and I love him for that.

Weekend Vibes

You gain absolutely nothing by watching Trump speak. Just wanted to remind everyone of that.

GenCon was spent helping organize a Booth and Demo Room for @ledergames.bsky.social and Live Shows with @spacecatspod.bsky.social. This crew made me well up multiple times with their kindness, generosity, and unrelenting humor.

GenCon is next week and I think I might implode

I've decided this will be the social media void that I'll blindly send my house project updates into.

We're getting closer to our move to St. Paul, and it's feeling like we'll actually successfully end up in the house we bought. (Long story) But it's a house that's gonna need some work. So I've started watching This Old House and have decided this is my new personality.
