Mr Baur gives a straight up assessment on how the tariffs affect his business, Kobold Press. If you are interested in how this affects the tabletop hobby, it's worth giving it a read.
I really really really hate tariffs. Some thoughts on Trump’s second tax hike (the first was in 2018).

State of Play SPECIAL EDITION! Kobolds hate tariffs!
Substantial US tariffs are going into effect on April 5, 2025. These import taxes will require most US game companies to raise prices on new releases. Here is how Kobold Press is responding.

We're clearing closets at the Taylor household and uncovered this gem from February 2007: my debut as a convention GM in nearby Princeton, IL. I ran three different games that night. The third session was cut in half because a snowstorm was forcing us to shut down early.

Folks over at Kobold Press have been sharing lots of free gaming goodies during this Advent season ... and this little item is downright wicked fun. "Earth to earth" indeed for unfortunate creatures that Cathria's Bloom takes root in.

Just finished 2018's "First in Line," a look at the modern vice presidency. Really exceptionally sourced. Biggest takeaway is the role Carter-Mondale played in redefining the vice presidency. The brief glimpse at Pence's role under Trump really foreshadows Jan. 6.

I do a lot of grilling. Even when the weather isn't so nice. I'll post about books I've read, activities of the family, crafts and photography and my contributions to the tabletop roleplaying hobby. Work and politics: not so much.
