I love boardgames, card games & tabletop RPGs — and I’m designing a stabby little card game.
In the RuneQuest campaign I’m currently GMing, Praxians have thick, Boris and Natasha-style Russian accents, and I wouldn’t have it any other way.

I always thought Katrin Dirim’s illustration style was perfectly suited to RunQuest, and now she’s launched a character generator for endless creative madness. Gotta love it! Here’s my first shot at it:

This usually results in lousy rolls but I don’t care bc it’s one of the precious few things I can do with any kind of style.

Harmonies simply does not stop being great. The art, the vibes, the strategy — all great.

My friend and I started playing backgammon when we were in high school. Our kids are now high school aged or older. I love that the tiles and tables have remained a constant in our lives.

Just did a monster Cosmic Encounter game with the first time-player winning as the amoeba. 🦠 I freaking love board games.

We just spent a memorable week in Paris and one of my favorite things about the city is its metro system. A €2.50 ticket can take you virtually anywhere. So what better way to enjoy a glass of rosé in the apartment than with a game celebrating one of the world’s great subway systems?

While vacationing in Paris my wife and I walked past this bit of street art using one of our favorite classic board games. We I used to play marathon Scrabble sessions back in the day. Vive le France!🇫🇷

Every time someone whines that games should be free of politics I instantly want to play Resist!

Played the latest edition of Betrayal at House on the Hill for board game night. So fun! Even with three players this game is a riot. Fun mechanics, great theme, and RPG-style storytelling.

Sunday Cosmic Encounter! I will never stop loving this ridiculous, chaotic game. Had a great mix of alien abilities plus tech cards and artifacts. My youngest, purple, finally clinched a decisive victory.

My GMing style is basically Cory Booker runs a RuneQuest combat.

Dude, we are loving Harmonies! The learning curve feels like opening a treasure box of new ideas and strategies. Plus it’s beautiful as all get out.

First game of Harmonies! Obviously, we’re scratching the surface, but I’m already smitten by the mechanics and art. What a lovely combo!

A friend scored Paranoia: The Uncooperative Board Game, so we played 2 player to get a feel for the rules. This is gonna be a FUN game at 4-5 players. The mechanics reflect the RPG in clever ways and it has nifty features, such how the way you move is like a side-scrolling video game. #boardgame

It’s really chill. Good “play a board game and drink some wine for a half an hour” kind of game.
Plus it has an expansion with a teeny Eiffel Tower and Arc de Triomphe. And all the pieces are terrific: little post cards, tiny wood chimneys, etc. trés charmant.
