#Bluey introduced the term "tactical wee" to me and my family. Oddly enough, one my kids doesn't like the term so we coined a new one: "yellow ops." You're welcome.

Blocking JD Vance is the only right move to his attempt to troll Bluesky. Don't give him any attention, just block and move on. It's sad that with everything going on in the world, our Vice President has stooped so low as to become an everyday forum troll, but that's where we are now.

J.D. Vance is here. And he immediately became the most blocked account on the app.

My gal and I tried a similar drink at a local restaurant, loved it, and concocted our own.
So far, it's best w/ citrus flavored sparkling waters (such as tangerine La Croix) and we use oat milk for cold foam. The citrus and foam give it a creamsicle quality. It's a refreshing drink on a hot day!

COFFEE SODA
1/2 glass cold brew coffee
1/3 glass sparkling water of your choice
Ice if you so feel like it

My kids gave me the most awesome card and a sweet, sweet shirt from Nintendo SF for Father's Day.
It's true that the apples really don't fall far from the tree 💙

Several of the game's creators dropped in, watched our tables play, chatted with us, and signed autographs. The players loved the game and we all had a wonderful time!

To celebrate today, some friends and I are getting together online to play my favorite game, of course! I hope you all find opportunities to play as well, whatever game happens to be your jam. Take care and be kind to one another.

Play is certainly important in children's lives as it teaches them about the world in engaging and memorable ways. As we grow older, it's critical to continue playing since it provides us with ways to relieve stress, forge connections with others, practice skills we know, and learn new skills.

Brotherwise Games, Evil Hat, and Magpie Games tell Rascal that the 90-day tariff reduction is not only a much-needed breath for a drowning tabletop industry, but also a "maddening" and "a nightmare scenario."

Latest 90-day tariff reduction is a stay of execution for some tabletop RPG publishers

For others, it’s just smoke from an authoritarian dumpster fire.

Played a D&D AL game last night! I saw on Warhorn that a college buddy was playing, so I signed up. Despite being friends for almost 30 yrs & playing tons of D&D over the years, we rolled dice together for the first time last night. It was a wonderful session!

Finally, the last add-ons.

- Hero reference cards: Includes each heroes' various scores. Great for when you want to use just the Power Cards w/o the character sheets.
- Skinny minis: Acrylic stand-up minis of each included hero. I love these and foresee using them in other games as well 😎

Jay Africa @jayafrica.bsky.social · May 14

These are the add-ons for the deluxe edition.

- More dice: The standard starter set comes with 3d6. The deluxe set comes packed with 12d6, enough for several players.
- Power Cards: Nifty decks for each starter set hero. Hand these to the players to help keep track of their heroes' powers.

Next up, playing aids for running the adventure.

- Double-sided maps: 2 single page-sized maps for a few small encounters & 1 poster-sized map. I expect to get a lot of mileage out of the poster map!
- Game pieces: The set comes with a variety of tokens for use with the maps.

Jay Africa @jayafrica.bsky.social · May 14

First off, the basic stuff. These come with the standard edition of the Starter Set.

- Rulebooks & adventure: Every starter set needs these, of course! I love the art of heroes playing the RPG 😄
- Character sheets: Starter sets need these, too. These ones are fancy, printed on heavy cardstock.

Hey folks. I backed the Marvel Multiverse RPG Starter Set a while back and received the finished product some weeks ago. I'm finally breaking it open and--my stars--this set does not disappoint!
FYI, I got the deluxe edition which comes w/ some cool add-ons.
