This game is really hitting the sweet spot for me… dialog choices that build relationships, combat that I can scale back to fun button mashing, and a guitar hero mini game, all in a sci fi future of queer and diverse characters

We’ve kicked off the fall season in community concert band! I really like the recording of this piece but it’s tricky and fast! Just gotta keep trying and putting in practice time between rehearsals.

Enjoyed a lovely evening chatting with a friend over a game of Carcassonne #boardgame

Here's my opinion on PAX Unplugged Houston. There are people there that deserve joy and community that cannot get to another PAX. I think about how many privileges I have, and I still wouldn't be able to get to PAX Unplugged Philly without the help I get. As a trans person, Texas is rough 1/?

My dad brought by some peaches from his tree and we had everything else in the house we needed to make a crumble… and then paired it with a lovely bourbon

We dropped 19yo off for his sophomore year and quickly got out of his way.

Run tracker + radio drama where you are one of the characters in the story. I’d do anything for cinnamon roll Sam Yao

I wrote about how angry I feel watching people write columns about trans women in sports.

Just call me a man already and get it over with

I'm angry. I hate writing when I'm angry. I think it makes me too emotional, too attached to copy and most importantly makes my brain move too fast having ideas pop up and die before I can even get t...

Castle Ravenloft #boardgame made it back to the table tonight after a bunch of years. We took a lot of damage but managed to defeat the kobold villain and his artifact

Tsuro is such a good #boardgame when hanging with family. Not too complex for my folks at all.

I got to combine two of my passions in this story about why the US publisher of the board game Catan is now striking partnerships with sports teams, including the Timberwolves and the Ottawa Senators: www.nytimes.com/athletic/751... (unlocked)

Why a board game is popping up across the NBA, NHL, and NFL (Gift Article)

Catan, one of the world's most popular board games, is hoping to lure in sports fans with a growing number of partnerships.

Fascinating article! h/t @zombzilla.bsky.social

Last weekend we hosted our annual Games*a*palooza #boardgame day (est 2011)! We were 22 friends and family playing 26 different games. I got to introduce folks to Fate of the Fellowship and The Gang. And 19yo and 22yo are great at teaching and running games too

We’ve finally broken out Dice Throne Missions #boardgame. We really like the simultaneous play while we battle evildoers

The whole family finally had a chance to sit down together and improve clean energy while reducing carbon emissions in Daybreak #boardgame (twice)

You’re going to make me cry, aren’t you? 💜🩷

Here it is, our final podcast episode! We recorded it live at Crystal’s in Vegas since Ambie and her family went there for vacation! We talk about Color Jam and Rosetta: Second Edition and reminisce about the podcast and our friendship. @lunarpunk.games @dvcgames.bsky.social youtu.be/-PO5fsoKyiAo

Big excitement here! 19yo’s #boardgame preorder from @upperdeckent.bsky.social arrived! Nice to see the designer’s name on the box

We had a lot of #boardgame fun in July! We played Daybreak 3 times at PAXEast and loved it so I gifted it to hubby for his birthday

This weekend we… * hosted our annual board game party * moved our daughter into her first apartment * performed a community band concert I a m E X H A U S T E D

The stars aligned for a rousing success in Fate of the Fellowship #boardgame. We managed to capture three strongholds and destroy the ring while full of hope. Spencer must have been the key, checking on our progress often

Apparently this is comfortable since he’s fast asleep

I can’t imagine not listening to my Board Game Blitz podcast after having it jump to the front of my listening queue for 10 years. 🩷 @ambierona.bsky.social 💜 @crystaldax.bsky.social Absolutely grateful for all you’ve contributed to the board game community!

As we announced during our 10th anniversary episode, Board Game Blitz (the podcast) is coming to an end. Our final episode will release on August 6. Thanks to everyone who has reached out to share stories or fond memories you have of us and the show. It means more than you know.

Out with old (cardboard), in with the new (laser cut, kallax sized) storage solution for Legendary Marvel #boardgame. We finally finished printing/cutting dividers and labels 19yo earned the upgrade by ruthlessly managing our house clean out of 16 years of stuff— garage, basement, attic, closets…
