I made it to Big Game Bash. Now is the part of the con where I haunt the perimeter and drum up the courage to engage.

"I rolled damage."

"What did you roll?"

"The unshakable feelings of rejection and paralyzing self-doubt as one contemplates their own faulty perception of how they fit into various social circles. It's a crit."

Hello! I am looking for #gamereviewers to review the #boardgame Pyrotechnics! What's a good hashtag to get the attention of reviewers? Post in the comments, please.

Here's a video with a little more detail on the game:

Who posts this sign, where, and for whom?

I’ve been lucky enough to find a pal with a similar mindset, and we pick one or two games to play every week until we’re exhausted of them.

Right now we’re on week nine of Men-Nefer and Agricola. It’s awesome.

According to that video, AI slop threatens to some day collapse the internet, so you need to buy their calendar.

A MIRU 2 session with the Hex Kit is going well! Excited for folks to get these.

On the last days of MIRU 2. The end is near indeed.

Boo. The god stands behind my little character. (And then it proceeded to whoop my ass)

Hey!
Did you know that I'm a game designer?
And that I've released a solo roll and write dungeon crawl, with four maps, for only $3?
It would mean the world to me if you checked it out!

I’m waiting for Prozempic. One million calories in a single shot. I won’t have to eat for a year and I’ll get so skinny.

Drawing Dungeon is a great dungeon crawler where you have some choice over the enemies you encounter and even the layout of the map. A really clever and fun roll-and-write, recommended!

Matt Soucy @msoucy.gay · 28d

It's a release!
Drawing Dungeon is a roll-and-write dungeon crawl I've been working on for a few months now!
Four maps and a playtime of 15-20 minutes per session, all for $3!
Explore the dungeon, collect treasure, and defeat the boss (or die trying)!

Sharpen your pencil and prepare to delve into the dungeon! Switch between exploring new rooms and defeating the monsters inside them to earn more items and treasure!

💡 #BoardGames Idea: Cap’n Wacky’s Chuckletime Escape-O-Rama! A game *about* people trying to figure out the various puzzles of an escape room, but abstracted out into a dry and crunchy Euro-style cube-pushing efficiency engine.
