Took the kids to Memphis to the Civil Rights museum. Very powerful experience.
This morning in Biddeford, Maine, a 26-year-old man said goodbye to his wife and daughter and left for work. Moments later he was dead, shot in the head by ICE agents, the second man ICE has killed in six days. ICE is killing our neighbors. ICE cannot be reformed. Abolish ICE.
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
🎲📦 Mail Call!! Queen of Spies (designed @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social & @djackthompson.bsky.social / art @meeplefactory.bsky.social / published @saltandpeppergames.bsky.social). It’s a solo game about espionage in WWI Belgium. I love the b&w art, and I’m looking forward to playing. #boardgames

Just a note for folks who might be interested in Rebels Against Rebellion. I've started a design diary where I do some deep diving into the game's origin story. @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @kwanchai.bsky.social boardgamegeek.com/thread/37152...
Just had the chance to play a couple games of Rebels Against Rebellion using a prototype made for Origins. Can’t wait to demo this to folks! @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social @kwanchai.bsky.social

Henri Whitehead@henriw.bsky.social · 3mo agoI’ve been working on a solitaire hex and counter war game for several years, and id like to get more outside feedback. The game exists as a rules-enforced html demo with a tutorial. I did all of the artwork by hand (no AI art). Message me if interested in taking a peek at it.

Take a look at this magnificent cover from @kwanchai.bsky.social and Jina Rueter for my upcoming co-design with @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social: Rebels Against Rebellion, published by Flying Pig Games. This is my first venture into the American Civil War for a game design.
I won an award at work for building a retention risk prediction model that helped turned our academic alert system into something akin to minority report (except instead of arresting people before they commit a crime, we just get them into tutoring services before they fail a class).
Taking photos of Night Witches to help with rulebook examples, but I keep stopping to admire it. We need to do a few fixes but this game is going to be gorgeous.
There have been a few recent scripted series covering women's sports ('GLOW,' 'A League of Their Own,' etc), but not a ton. Can 'Ted Lasso' be successful with its fourth-season shift to women's soccer? My thoughts at Bucholtz Sports Media (premium post): andrewbucholtz.com/posts/can-te...
Can 'Ted Lasso' continue its success with a fourth season on women's soccer?
There haven't been a lot of scripted shows on women's sports to date. Can 'Ted Lasso' make the jump to covering women's soccer successfully?
