Incredibly proud to announce that @leder.games is publishing Creature Control, a coop dexterity game by me about mechs fighting kaijus!
For those wanting more info, check out the Leder Games Studio Chat from earlier today - www.twitch.tv/videos/27537...
This is a great opportunity to highlight some 2025 releases like Onoda from @fgradaille.bsky.social , Chicago '68 from @yoyoni.bsky.social , and In the Shadows from @josephnschmidt.bsky.social and yours truly.
It's such an unfortunate stage that people need to get over. But I think it's also connected to confidence, and I've seen that grow in every designer over time.
If you're interested in learning more you can check out the P500 page on @gmtgames.bsky.social website.
Six figures in black and either red or blue of Lord figures for the upcoming game Henry: The Agincourt Campaign 1415 from GMT Games.
I'm so in love with these Lord figures that Matthew Wallhead did for my upcoming game Henry that I wanted to share them again. Still work in progress, but love the monumental brass look Matthew captured here.

The worst baseball/board games crossover by far.
Such a fun game. Really enjoy playing this one with a group of people.
A 16th Century etching of Landsknecht soldiers in various dress with weapons, instruments, a flag, and a very good boy.
I made a weird little trick-taking game about leading a bunch of mercenaries called Landsknecht a while back. Did some recent edits on it. Haven't shared a PnP game in a while so figured I'd do that. Let me know what you think! drive.google.com/drive/folder...
Great landing spot for Smith. Kid has a ton of potential and I think Anthem is a great team for him.
Good news in my book!
Love the drawing of the nights on horseback. Well done!
How many Canadians played in MLR last season?
This is the answer and one of the many things I've learned from Volko.
I read The Dispossessed this year and really liked the way it described an anarchist collective. Would suggest that to anyone who doesn't grasp the concept.
US vs. Samoa? I always knew you were a man of taste.
Awesome! Someone made a flow chart and shared it on BGG. You can check it out here: boardgamegeek.com/filepage/301...
If you have Paramount+ or CBS Sports put on USA vs. Australia from the Women's Rugby World Cup. 10 minutes left and it's a great game.
Eagles gotta get Maher the ball!
The most frustrating bit is how few publishers there are who take a chance on weird games. I think a lot of gamers don't realize there are things they would enjoy because companies don't want to risk working outside of the box.
I love this idea!
I think the game vs Japan is huge for the US as a tune-up. Need to get their act together (especially the line-out) to prep for Samoa.
You think US will lose the 5th place game vs Samoa?
Living in California I find it very hard to like Newsom. He is really transparent in his goal to become President and I feel like he has not given enough attention to the serious issues the state is facing. Also, his turn on trans athletes is pathetic and gross.
Get 4 cards (each with a shape). Give those to all four players. Then, grab another deck and draw a card with randomly assigned alliances. That would be random and also not involve redos.
Playing sports
Awesome! That should be super fun.
League Leader in YATTPB (Yards After Taking Taiwanese Parliament Bill)
I taught a PTA board game design class for 4th and 5th graders at my kids' school. I'd start by giving them like 3 cubes and a die and saying, "You have 30 minutes. Make a game we can play!". They'd always come up with super creative stuff. Just making something and sharing it builds confidence.
