About to get our Meltwater on.

Also, I'll be in Urbana Champaign at UIUC this week, on a mini-Splotter Con tour.

Just closed on my new home. What a whirlwind of a week between Splotter Con and closing. Before you know it, I'll be hosting game nights!

I'm not sure I've ever been so excited to open a package as I was today when these arrived. Grateful for all of the folks in my various communities (Splotter, boardgame, personal) that helped pull this together. I can't wait to share it with yinz. But in order to do so, you need to...order a copy!

Come hang out with me and play lots of amazing games!

Hey @travisdhill.bsky.social , would it be possible to DM you (can't currently)? I had some questions for ya.

Whew, mission accomplished. But damn, that Money & Banking final took me four bloody hours.

OK, one final exam down, one left to take this weekend. And then a well-needed, short break from @giesbusiness.bsky.social MBA program.

Check out this awesome rules video for WEB made by our friend Ryan with Cards Unbarred! Meet Ryan in person at this year's Splotter Con! 5 badges still available.

Come hang out with us in Pittsburgh over Labor Day weekend. It is going to be so much fun!

Managed to get one more game of Web in plus a couple small Japanese games. Another great Origins in the books!

I had no idea you were constantly snapping photos, haha.

Always so wonderful to get to spend time with you and Jon!

Interesting 'pull-back-the-curtain' interview with indie boardgame publisher, Radical 8 Games. Some interesting insights, not all of which have been my experience but interesting all the same.

Our Favorite Historical Games of 2024 YouTube video by SD Hist Con

@danthurot.bsky.social & @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social are two other individuals whom I find incredibly insightful about boardgames and engaging to listen to. This discussion of historical games is evidence. I have so much to learn.

Mechanisms as Metaphors: How Board Games Create Meaning YouTube video by Mary & Amabel Holland

I love listening to folks, particularly those who think far more deeply about boardgames than I do, discuss various historical & pedagogical aspects. In this case, @amabel.bsky.social so adeptly explains how board games can offer so much more than entertainment.

Thanks Chip! I'm still waiting on you to register for the con! It's been too long since we played together at Heavy Con pre-pandemic.

Thanks!
