Did not realize how many games I ran this past week until I wrote it all out!
While everybody was having a great time at Pax U, I was having a great time in my cozy living room.
What did you play this week?

The "A Land Once Magic" backer PDF from @moreblueberries.bsky.social & @vidityavoleti.bsky.social just dropped in my inbox and... y'all. This game is beautiful. I'm so excited to get it to a table as soon as I possibly can.

Democrats are the worst. Use a shutdown to bring visibility to skyrocketing health insurance premiums, just so you can then end the shutdown in a way that guarantees Democrats get blamed for those skyrocketing premiums.

Chris Murphy: "There will be pretty substantial damage to a Dem brand that has been rehabilitated if on the heels of an election in which the people told us to keep fighting, we immediately stop... if we surrender without having gotten anything, I worry it'll be hard to get them back up off the mat"

Dems backed Trump into a corner where he’s advocating for starving Americans and hemorrhaging support. If they vote to let him off the hook in exchange for nothing it’s a cataclysmic failure. I know people are in pain but insulating Republicans from political consequences is not the answer.

The average SNAP benefit per month is $177 a person.
The average ACA benefit per month is up to $550 a person.
People want us to hold the line for a reason. This is not a matter of appealing to a base. It’s about people’s lives.
And working people want leaders whose word means something to them.

Most of the games we've published in the last 10 years (ie Monster of the Week, Thirsty Sword Lesbians, Blades in the Dark) either use the Powered by the Apocalypse engine or are hugely influenced by it.
Happy to back this latest incarnation from the Bakers.

Are you looking to get into the Halloween spirit? This game only needs one more player to get started! Come join us as we JOURNEY TO THE CENTER OF THE HEART!
And finally, a game that's close to my 🫀!
We're playing @rowanrookanddecard.bsky.social's "Heart: The City Beneath", where a series of deadly tremors spit up a man claiming to be King of Cintelspew.
Now you must venture into the fetid caverns below to verify his claim to the throne!
