You know it has to happen one day but you always hope that day is as far off as possible.

I was at PaxU yesterday. I got to meet Nyla Rose at 9th Level... and took a chop from a professional wrestler. It was sweet. She signed my chest.

The only thing really bugging me right now is that Bill Burr, Jim Jeffries, and Hannibal Buress are scheduled to perform yuck yucks for the Riyadh Comedy Festival. Tools of propaganda for a paycheck.

This was an Etsy ad I got during my recent Thingiverse search. What pile of weird shit does Etsy sell now?

You know what I am enjoying about Bluesky? I don't ever feel the need to be on here. There's no endless scroll. There's no endless supply of content to consume. I can be here and disappear for weeks/months on end if I feel like it and don't miss it.

Hey look @stonemaiergames.com was on CNN (illustrated by some boardgames you might recognize):

"If we shipped all the games to the US that we started making in January, it would amount to around $1.5 million in tariffs."

Interesting breakdown of tariff costs down the supply chain of board games here. Worth a read just for the insight into the economics of the sector alone stonemaiergames.com/the-math-of-...
The Math of Tariffs
In the whirlwind surrounding the 54% tariff paid by any company importing goods from China to the US, I consistently saw questions, confusion, and even accusations of greed regarding the math of ta…

The tariffs are a heavy blow to Solis Game Studio. In order to survive, we are running a sale to offset the sudden thousands in additional costs we need to bear for our current inbound shipment... Tariff Impact Sale: store.solisgamestudio.com/c...

It's done.

I started podcasting in 2007 on a whim and because my friend disagreed with some message board members' ideas about DnD 3.5. That version of my show went on hiatus in 2012.

Then I returned in 2014 with a new co-host and have uploaded a lot of episodes until last May 2024.

Cheers.

This weekend I will be sunsetting my show. It's been a fun ride. I've put out somewhere between 300-400 interviews.

After 15 years of talking about board games, I don't have more to say.

Thanks for listening. Thanks for being a guest.

I'll still be here posting about game or whatever.

I hope the election in Germany wasn't as bad as the election here.

Board game designers all over the world please weigh in:

Your name on the cover of your game: icon to indicate you're the designer or not? E.g. a cog or a light bulb.

What do you feel?

@danthurot.bsky.social I saw that you relatively recently (6 months ago) reviewed Kemble's Cascade. This is one of my favorite games. The threat mechanic is a puzzle I love solving, the theme is unique, and the wackiness is fun. I, too, wish it had more content... and toyed with making some myself.

I extended the deadline by 1 week. If you are still on the fence, let me know how I can help you over it.
I'm still looking for designers for the TN indie game market, an event like the indie game night market, in April. It will be part of Nashville's tabletop day, so there will be plenty of gamers present.

If you can, share it so I can make it happen.
