Recently played Fromage with my best board game people. Loved it. But for a game whose mechanics and physical design elements are so elegant I found the art design uninspired and a little insipid. #boardgame

An important reminder
One of my regular Players ran his first DnD one shot for us. A puzzle focussed steampunk Dungeon Crawl. He aced it. #dnd #ttrpg #5e
@dimension20.bsky.social Gladlands... Bravo.
Love it. My first thought was that it reminded me of Chagall's Jerusalem windows.
I will admit it took me a few episodes to gel with @gwddnd.bsky.social but the warmth and heart, together with the depth of the story now has me waiting for each ep.
Screenshot of a Donald J. Trump social media post reading, “Potential Marble armrests for the seating at The Trump Kennedy Center. Unlike anything ever done or seen before!” Below the text is a four-image collage showing rectangular marble armrest pieces laid out on a white surface, including close-up views of veining, mounting slots, and a hand holding one of the marble pieces.
Note what Trump is focused on instead of fixing healthcare or bringing down prices.
Makes sense. So that photo with Bill Clinton in the hot tub would be when... #BUBBA
Yusho to Kotozakura 14-1. His one loss being to Ura
I don't watch baseball but I have found myself following the 2025 #worldseries and it is somewhat compelling. #mlb
I absolutely understand the inconvenience, the not ordering ahead thing and accept that is poor and entitled behaviour. But the other part of me thinks that if selling croissants 2 at a time warrants a tip of 0, then selling them 20 at a time will cost you 10 times that in tips. 😃
Genuine question from an Australian. Does your tipping culture extend to retail purchases? Like if you buy an item from a store you are expected to tip also? Or is there a service component I'm not seeing?
I agree that people do dumb stuff when they are young. they should have the opportunity to grow, and learn, earn redemption and take responsibility. But ome of that taking responsibility includes accepting "that dumb stuff I did probably means there are better choices than me to take public office"
Introducing a new person to my regular DND table this Sunday. Quietly excited by what they may bring. #ttrpg
When my players (or I) need a break from the main #dnd campaign, I will sometimes run a historical one shot in my campaign world. Having the players be part of the creation is much more fun and engaging than asking them to read and remember lore. #ttrpg
If i posted this before, I apologize.
But i want everyone to see this. While our federal joke of a government won't help feed kids, the governor of Michigan will.

I have come to the view that familiarity does not breed contempt in respect of cities. I am in #Adelaide for work related reasons for the fourth time today and think I have liked it a little more each time. See also #Mackay, #Bundaberg
I genuinely try to keep my own posting to nerd craft. #boardgames, #ttrpg, #sumo, #booksky etc but the personal is political and every ❤️ of support for an artist or creator I admire, whose empathy or bravery speaks to me, drives the algorithm a little further left.
I am finding it surprisingly comforting to be following a #sumo Basho, where the top guys are performing like top guys, and the next tier are industrially sorting it out among themselves.
Lost Ruins of #Arnak, came out in (I think 2020) and maybe got lost in a bit of a COVID bubble for me. Me and my best #boardgame people got it to the table for the first time tonight, and it won't be the last. Tight without being mean. Great fun.
Me and my best #boardgame people had resolved to play small games last night. But then someone brought #Vantage and I spent three hours exploring an alien planet and duelling skirm
This deserves to be more widely celebrated.
If your #dnd players manage to kill your Final Boss during an early set up encounter... It turns out they weren't the Final Boss anyway.
There’s a persistent myth that new solar farms don’t really help tackle climate change because panels are “made with coal” and “never pay back” their carbon debt.
This is simply false.
- UN: solar ~8x cleaner than gas, ~19x than coal per kWh
- panels repay CO2 in 4 months; save 57x over life
The Bondi family business. Charges dropped…for those with the right connections.
@brisbanelions.bsky.social member but Genuinely happy for Gold Coast Suns, club and supporters #afl tonight
