Being addicted to a video game finally paid off. I'm excited to announce that the Helldivers board game from Steamforged Games is a design that I worked on with Derek Funkhouser and the SFG team over the past year. For Super Earth!

I was unfamiliar with this cast outside of Ben Starr, but they did an incredible job. Now that I'm in Chapter 2, I'm really enjoying the way Gaffgarion and Agrias play off each other. #FinalFantasyTactics

Nicholas Yu @yutingxiang.bsky.social · 14d

I should have taken an entire week off work for this. #finalfantasytactics

Just remember that friendly fire still gives Exp and JP, which is useful early or when you already have the battle under control and are just farming/waiting for drops. Early skills like Focus and Tailwind that are easily spammable are also your friend for JP farming. #FinalFantasyTactics

This will be my most cherished gaming collectible. #finalfantasytactics
