Some days, you just have to put on some Sinead O'Connor while your bald baddie husband shaves your chemo head on the back porch.

My Favorite Wargame Cards – A Look at Individual Cards from My Favorite Games – Card #88: National American Woman Suffrage Association from Votes for Women from Fort Circle Games
With this My Favorite Wargame Cards Series, I hope to take a look at a specific card from the various wargames that I have played and share how it is used in the game. I am not a strategist and fra…

Already prepping for Circle DC 2027, this popcorn bucket will be one of the giveaways.
It's a big fucking bummer to share that I've been diagnosed with Stage 3 breast cancer. I start chemo tomorrow, and surgery will follow. I have decent health insurance, a wonderful support system, and the stubborn insistence I won't let one shitty titty take me down. Please send good vibes!
Had an awesome time at @sdhistcon.bsky.social North. Demo’d Night Witches with @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social, Undaunted 2200 Revolution, and Rebels Against Rebellion. @ospreygames.bsky.social @fortcircle.bsky.social
Last game played at SDHistCon North was The Halls of Montezuma by @fortcircle.bsky.social It’s a spiritual successor to the Shores of Tripoli. Very good 2 player tactical game. We played 4 player in teams which worked well too. I was gripped the whole time. @sdhistcon.bsky.social
I had a great time chatting with @downtowntbrown.bsky.social about the historical inspiration for Votes for Women, her game from @fortcircle.bsky.social! youtu.be/6vMafgfDzKA

10 MLB hitters currently have 20 HR and 60 RBI. Three of them play for the Washington Nationals: James Wood, CJ Abrams and Luis Garcia Jr.
Happy “liberal arts professor helps save the Union” day to all who celebrate
Time for a dirty martini and some Hunt for Blackbeard rules reading. I hear pirates like martinis (Well at least I’m going with that idea as opposed to rum since I like them). Check out this great two-player game if you haven’t already. @fortcircle.bsky.social @volko.bsky.social
First play of @volko.bsky.social's Hunt for Blackbeard, and he, @fortcircle.bsky.social, and everyone else involved did a fantastic job, easiest time I've had teaching a "complex" game since... well, the last Fort Circle game I got, Votes for Women.
Just to let y'all know, we've had to temporarily suspend all EU orders at senetmagazine.com, due to the incoming EU import duty of €3 that from 1 July will be hitting every package with a value below €150, regardless of size or contents... 1/3
Today’s after work reward: the new Hunt For Blackbeard from @volko.bsky.social and @fortcircle.bsky.social
I would never be so arrogant as to suggest I am a designer worth taking seriously, but the answer for me is never "both" or "its complicated" - the subject matter or "theme" are always the priority. For The Shores of Tripoli, I wanted to make a game on the conflict because none existed and...
Amabel Holland@amabel.bsky.social · 2mo agoRight! Because I have never seen a designer worth taking seriously who doesn't answer "both" or "it's complicated". But the question still gets asked.
Hunt for Blackbeard is such a fun game. The cat and mouse and guessing elements along with a little fog make this a gem. High replay ability as well. Great job to @volko.bsky.social and the @fortcircle.bsky.social team.

Heading to Origins and this is what I’ll have with me! @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social @fortcircle.bsky.social @rebellionunplugged.bsky.social @bitewinggames.bsky.social @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social
@fortcircle.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social Okay wargamers, this is going to be a big year for us at Origins. Time to come home to the convention that started it all. Four words: giant, magnetic, Twilight Struggle.
The commercials during the “hydration break” is total bullshit.
Where I was today in 2010. Stephen Strasburg’s first start in MLB.
Twelve years ago, I had the honor to help escort surviving members of the 29th Infantry Division through Normandy for D-Day festivities. I sincerely hope a few are still alive today to celebrate.
A super productive business trip to Barcelona comes to an end. It’s good to be back home.
