ICE terrorizes our communities. People protest, and now Trump is sending 2,000 National Guard troops into Los Angeles. This is how martial law begins in the so-called land of the free.

Trump is deploying 2,000 National Guard troops to Los Angeles without the governor’s request or consent. Governor Newsom has publicly condemned the move, calling it “purposefully inflammatory.”

In June my job as a designer in the video game industry was “restructured” yet again so I decided to pour all my efforts into the Tabletop industry.
Since then I signed and completed work on TeaWitches which releases at GenCon 2025 from The OP. (cont.)

I’m Manny Vega, game designer of Flamecraft and the upcoming TeaWitches. I’m currently looking for new publishing home for a few games and maybe some full time dev or graphic design work in the industry. I prefer playing simple and friendly games with my family and friends… so I can crush them! 😁

🎲✂️ I’m wondering how you feel about secret unlockable envelopes in board games? No Legacy destruction, just more addition. Does the game have to be co-op for it to work or can it be competitive as long as unlocks are available next game for anyone? Plus, you don’t have to play with the same group.

Gotta represent the Cali folks and exclaim we just had an Earthquakr during the tropical storm, but uh... everything's perfectly all right now. We're fine. We're all fine here now, thank you. How are you?

Who has played Risk Strike? I tried it the other day and was pleasantly surprised that they managed to make it feel like Risk in such a compact design. I grew up playing this with my dad and then HS friends. Love that we can relive this feeling without a 4 hour investment. #riskstrike #takeaustralia

I’m so down for this. Just gotta convert an old Waldenbooks to a gaming room and I’m in heaven.
I realize this is supposed to be a joke but honestly it seems like a fun idea. I would definitely visit and hang out with my GenX friends for the day.
