On this Thanksgiving, may your day be filled with family, friends, & good food, as we all lean into "being thankful." We are thankful to share our journey and our games with amazing customers/friends who have supported us through both good and challenging times for over 35 years. Thank you!

We've plugged in an auto-share widget to our site that will feed articles from our archives into our social media feeds a few times a day, so keep an eye out for something fantastic that you probably missed the first time around

I will surprise absolutely no one when I say World War 2 infantry regiments were large. Very, very large. It's only when you try to shove one around on a tabletop in a game like "A Fistful of TOWS 3" as we did tonight that you see just how large. More to come. @armchairdragoons.bsky.social

By the way, it's National Editor Appreciation Day.
Nobody ever reads a great article and thinks, "Dang, that was some tight editing." But editing is a big part of how it got to be great.
So writers, if you've ever worked with a good editor, shout 'em out.

The pre-Alan-Watkins-screwing-with-the-format WKNC from the 80s and early 90s would likely have a lot to say to pretty much every station in here
So great to see college radio in all its glory featured in today's NYT. I interviewed for the piece (WFUV is at Fordham, WFMU is independent, formerly of Uppsala--such is the way with radio, which has more acronyms than the New Deal): www.nytimes.com/2025/11/20/s...
