The 104% China tariffs went into effect today.
As you may know, the tariffs are an existential threat to tabletop games, my profession - since almost all are made in China.
Fear and sadness are in the air.

The harmonics of the engine of the universe have not yet been fully measured, but we hear them in the songs of all children. Even the grown-up ones.
Not even The Time of Stupid can take away our songs.
Sing. Please sing. And then again.
This is the season of new growth.

Treat yourself to a few minutes about games, learning, trying new things... There's something in this charming clip for everyone.
