CAN. NOT. WAIT. First ever co-design with the amazing Brett J. Gilbert (and 48,237th co-design with the similarly awesome @trevormbenjamin.bsky.social). Also my first collaboration with @mightyboards.bsky.social, and it's been fantastic.

New addition to the 2026 lineup. The kickstarter for War Chest: Shock Tactics is live. It was a really exciting opportunity to expand the War Chest line with this new expansion. The "shock" mechanism we added really changes the feel of the game.

Ok, I’ve signed up to be notified when tickets go on sale for the K-Pop Demon Hunters sing-along theatrical release! It’s rare that a movie comes along that everyone in the family is excited about. :)

My Star Trek loving daughter and I started season 3 of STN last night. Before starting the episode we needed to do a recap. But not of the overall plot of season 2, just of all the romances going on in the show. lol!

I recently reorganized my game shelves so that my historical games are arranged by time period. It seems fitting that these two would be together.

There’s a LOT of pressure for a game design to be good when the art is this fantastic.

I have serious issues. I’ve been wanting the new version of El Grande because I only play core El Grande and the “Big Box” is just insanely big. Well, I picked up a copy of the new version, went to put it on my shelf, and…well, see for yourself:
