Congratulations! ❤️

This is only scratching the surface! Check out GW's long history of having _very strong opinions_ about Margaret Thatcher.

Wait, you play Armada?!? Since when you do play miniatures wargames?

Also, if anyone has a copy of Continuum in nice condition, and is looking to sell . . . .

. . . without overstaying its welcome. Everything you want in a ttrpg/board game hybrid!

. . . but it's also a good game in its own right. I've been playing ttrpgs for decades, and I enjoyed it tremendously. It helps you tell a fascinating, emergent story, it gives the right amount of support to keep things moving without bogging you down, and it ends when the story's ready . . .

Keep the Faith is about how religions change over time. It's thoughtful, respectful, and just plain interesting.

@gregisonthego.bsky.social presented it as a game for folks new to tabletop role-playing. I think it's great at that . . .

For folks unfamiliar, this is the second collection of essays I've put together with students from the NYU Game Center.

For folks interested in a PDF version, you can find it here: s-rank-zine.itch.io/vol-2

You could play with those little sticks to push the minis around, preferably while aides mutter in the background!

So it ends up the same for me as well! I could work my way through all that to play a flight simulator . . . or I could just play 20 minutes of Mario Kart. Time's already so limited; why not spend it playing?

Nintendo hardware exemplifies "it just works" for me. To play a flight simulator on my PC I have to mess with Joystick Gremlin, get the right HID values assigned to my joystick and throttle, fight an update that broke something . . . My son turns on the 2DS and he's playing Mario Kart.

I'd love to--but can't! Possibly your DMs are set to only accept DMs from folks you follow?
