9. Wyrmspan by @connievdc.bsky.social (14 plays) (I've only played solo twice it seems! I thought it was more!) Just a gorgeous game, wingspan but the heat is turned up a bit. You play twice as many cards, you get MORE actions not less. Slick, fun, classic. 10/10 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/41...

EA Sports nailed some Capitals faces in NHL 27. Others appear to have been created from a vague description given over the phone. Naturally, we ranked all of them. russianmachineneverbreaks.com/2026/09/08/n...

And just like that, my adventure with Avalon Hill comes to a close. We departed from an airport consisting of a man, his dog, a hand-written passenger list, and a bathroom scale. Stay tuned until early October for details!!

Day 4 - highlight so far was seeing a sloth. Also saw two types of monkeys, plus birds, crabs, and lizards!

Day 3 of my adventure with Avalon Hill & @hexstardragon.bsky.social . Can't share what we are doing, but I had a little down time & explored town. It's on a peninsula, with a canal on one side, & a walking path on the other. The town is car free. Can hear howler monkeys, but haven't seen them yet.

Going on an adventure with the Avalon Hill team and @hexstardragon.bsky.social ! Any guesses as to where we are headed?

The English language is often dumb, and it gets even dumber when you want to refer to another human (or humans) without gender. 😡

Mary Ellen 🩷🤍💜🖤💙@maryellenreads.caviaporcell.us · 2w ago

Oh, shut up, dude. I don't say "y'all" to be folksy. I say it because it's an easy, gender-neutral way to address two or more people. That's it.

Just got done with a Mass Effect campaign by @ithayla.bsky.social & @ericlang.bsky.social! Played with my same group that has played through Gloomhaven & Frosthaven & had a great time! 1/

One major purpose of TTGDA is to help tabletop game designers negotiate better publishing contracts. We just released the rubric of what we look for -- and info on how different publishers scored on the rubric. Soon we will also release a model contract. More at www.ttgda.org/contract-bas...

Engelstein’s Law: Your game is more complicated than you think, even when you take into account Engelstein’s Law.

Eric Lang@ericlang.bsky.social · last mo.

Game designers always tell me their game is “simple, everyone gets it” And then I watch them demoing at conventions doing 90% of the heavy lifting and repeating rules over and over. Your game ain’t simple, hombre. You just really like it.

Great video from Matthew Dunston on the life of a game designer :-)

Matthew Dunstan@matthewdunstan.bsky.social · last mo.

In this week's video I reflect on the last 5 years of being a full time game designer, how I made the decision to go full time, and the various pros and cons of that career choice! youtu.be/1G_jXgo7CKQ Thanks to @eanderssonsunden.bsky.social and @connievdc.bsky.social for inspiration :) 🎲✂️

That was so cool!

I'm David! I'm a graphic designer, illustrator, community manager, and game designer. Most of my graphic design and illustration work in the tabletop world has been for my own projects, but I'd love to get serious about changing that! 💼: davidmasnato.com ✉️: hello@davidmasnato.com #PortfolioDay

This is a topic that's near & dear to my heart - these are the regs I built my legal career around. Please take a moment to say you oppose politics in science & political meddling in government grants.

Katie Mack@astrokatie.com · 2mo ago

There is still time to submit your comment and tell the government that you don't want US research to be completely destroyed by politicians meddling in individual grants. You can submit your comments here: www.regulations.gov/commenton/OM...

Almost exactly a year ago, I left my (stable!) job for full-time game design. Some reflections 1/ 🧵

There are still a couple more local “improvement” projects to check on but that’s a project for another day, I think my feet are done 😂

Every. Single. Time.

Peter@notalawyer.bsky.social · 2mo ago

one thing that’s dying out in the next generation or so is knowing roads. my parents will ask me shit like “how’d you get there? 178? 232?” buddy i went where the computer told me.

Oh this is me for sureee If this isn’t everyone who designs games, time to put an ice pack on that swollen head

had to screencap this for future use

Incredible. I'm watching the fireworks from my house and it's literally the most boring fireworks show I've ever seen.

Can we talk about this firework show? They're advertising 850,000 fireworks. That's 300 fireworks/sec for 45 mins. Starting at 11 pm. Last year was 7,000 & the air was shit for days. This year it's about a thousand degrees & the air isn't moving.

Ok ya'll. I'm 2 hours into a hair appointment and am bored! AMA! Or show me something cool you saw on the Internet this week! Or a photo of your pet! Anything!

Love this. Super curious.

Elizabeth Hargrave@elizhargrave.bsky.social · 2mo ago

Every game I put out gets "1" ratings on BGG before it is for sale. For funsies I'm gonna track the 1s on WS Pocket in real time. What are these people up to, who feel so strongly about a game they haven't even played? Game details were announced yesterday, and the first "1" is up. LET'S GO! 🧵

Ok @popville.bsky.social any idea why there have been nonstop helicopter flyovers in cap hill today? They're low enough to literally shake my house & it's been nonstop.

On the one hand, this is laugh out loud funny. On the other, it's depressing. Something that could have been cool - for residents, visitors, local businesses - replaced with utter garbage.

This is an absolutely wild series. So glad @hexstardragon.bsky.social and I were able to catch part of it

Jesse Granger@jessegranger.bsky.social · 3mo ago

Unbelievable. This game. This series. My god.
