Tonight at 7pm ET/11pm UTC: Gamestop has decided crypto is the right investment, Stonemaier is investing in Disc Golf, and Battletech is going…Gothic? We’ve also got on Tom Lommel from Evil Hat Productions (evilhat.com) to talk about all the “Evil” things they have coming up this year.

Why celebrate St Patricks Day when you can have TANKS Patrick's Day. Wanted to tweak my tanks-giving scenario, so decided to hold another game the other day. Even got to use some of my finished Zone Mortalis #necromunda tiles to act as the "store". #warhammer40k #warhammer #tabletopgames

It might be hard to "See"iege, but I tried out the Anvil Siege force detachment with my Space Marines in our weekly 500 point game. Nothing but gravis! Did well until aeldari teleported next to me and wiped the floor with me. #warhammer #warhammer40k #tabletopgames

Everyone uses blue elites, I wanted to be fancy! Painted my #halo flashpoint elites the red color you'd see on the leaders. Love how they turned out! Time to play! #haloflashpoint #manticgames #tabletopgames

You might be "Star"-tled, but I actually put together a star (5 clan mechs) for a battletech game instead of just a couple of beefy bois. Didn't last that long though, so for game 2 I went back to a classic 3-mech list #battletech #tabletopgames

Well it’s 2025, and we’ve now finished getting all the 2024 Dungeons & Dragons rulebooks, most of which came out in 2025. Confused yet? I pick out my 5 favorite monsters in the Monster Manual from Wizards of the Coast #ttrpg #dnd5e boardsandswords.com/blog/2025/3/...

I'm totally "down" with the Dirty Down aging sprays. Used the mid brown on my #necromunda zone mortalis tiles and it really makes them look like the crungy setting that the game takes place in #tabletopgames #warhammer40k

Oh rats....I forgot I hate putting together minis. And there's a lot of them in this Skaventide box. #warhammeraos #warhammer #tabletopgames

Coven-ain't gonna stop these Spartans! Got the other two spartan teams of Halo Flashpoint done, making sure to really get those needler guns looking spiffy. #haloflashpoint #halo #tabletopgames #manticgames

In the name of the moon, I say exterminatus! We had a painting challenge at the local store to paint a space marine pink and I decided to kit bash mine to look like Sailor Chibi-Moon. (Thus why I needed the pink Pro Acryl I mentioned yesterday). #warhammer40k #sailormoon #tabletopgames

I really had my “eyes opened” looking at my first BattleTech sourcebook. I review the BattleTech “ilKhan’s Eyes Only” book from Catalyst Game Labs #battletech #miniatures #tabletopgames

Valen-time for some new Pro Acryl paints! I needed a better pink than I had so I picked up the Rogue Hobbies box. So excited to try them all out! #minipainting #tabletopgames

Tonight at 7pm ET/11pm UTC, we've got Jean from Pixels to talk about his electronic dice. Plus, apparently there's a helldivers 2 board game coming? youtube.com/boardsandswo... #tabletopgames #dice #ttrpg

Let's get one thing "straight," I would play the fuck out of this game. LGBT - Longsword, Glock, Bat, Taser. #ttrpg #tabletopgames
March 13, 2025 at 10:00 PM
I "axolotl" questions in life, but I have nothing for this #ttrpg. Love it. #tabletopgames
March 12, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Sometimes in "dire" circumstances, I listen to others when I make a #battletech list. This time, I brought just a single Dire Wolf. #tabletopgames
March 11, 2025 at 10:00 PM
Because we take our gaming super seriously around here, heres an attempt I made to try and play rocket league with #warhammer40k minis #tabletopgames
March 10, 2025 at 10:00 PM
I don't consider myself an "elite" painter, but I am close to getting all these Halo Flashpoint models done! What team should I play first? #halo #haloflashpoint #tabletopgames

Gloomspite Gitz from Age of Sigmar are the big pre-orders coming up this week. I'm proud of myself for writing this whole article and not mentioning "goblin mode" or "furries" once (aw crap now I did). It's time for this week's SMASH or PASS buff.ly/v9BgvrZ #warhammer #warhammeraos #tabletopgaming

I can't "stand" it when my #gundam models dont sit right on a shelf. Printed a gunpla stand I saw on here a few weeks ago and it works great! How many #gunpla is too many to put on one bookshelf?

Our patrons "tower" over all the others! The fixed patreon dice tower design, which I made so that you could add onto it each year to make an even bigger tower! I wonder how tall I could go before it topples over?? #dice #boardgames #tabletopgames
March 5, 2025 at 11:00 PM
Can you tell what's wrong with this dice tower? Started working on a new project for our patrons, and I made a big mistake on this first attempt. #boardgames #dice #tabletopgames

There's gotta be a troll Games Workshop employee designing some of these minis. Saw this Krieg Command Squad in the store and on the bottom right.... that's clearly a toilet paper roll right? #warhammer #warhammer40k #tabletopgames
