been reading some board game book recently. im an enjoyer and it's expanded my yap capacity re; cardboard. but i think it's really interesting how the majority of table games writing is science paper coded when my personal engagement with games is literature paper coded.

Today I emailed publishers about a concerning practice a board game media creator engaged in. This will likely become public, so I'm providing the details here to give the full context of what I shared.

Thanks to @tombrewster.bsky.social for chatting with me about Arcs! Do we still like Arcs? Should Arcs try to woo more players by taming it down in an expansion?
