In my experience type 3 trips make the best war stories. But I do outdoor stuff with people I love.

These categories make more sense in their original context, which is outdoor activities like hiking and climbing. Type 3 is basically a joke, "total disaster, zero fun trip". Type 2: "That sucked in the moment but we glad we did it anyway."

They can order stuff! They have a robust mail order business but can get stuff straight from the distributor usually.

I disagree! Designing from ignorance can lead to profound insights and also, more importantly for the designer, terrible games.

NC voters who need registration repair can provide their NCDL, last four digits of SS# or their DMV issued state ID. You might think you're OK because you provided photo ID to vote in the past but that's unrelated. Please check the list for your name. Instructions: www.ncsbe.gov/registration...

Registration Repair | NCSBE

Find out if your North Carolina voter registration is incomplete, learn how to fix it, and review the FAQ for more information.

Give it a try! It's different and I think it is more accessible; you may enjoy the older version more and that's fine.

We played Desperation: The Isabel, a haunting game about grim choices and death at sea by @jmstar.bsky.social and produced by @bullypulpithq.bsky.social and had a wonderful time! For certain values of wonderful, but, it was a hell of an experience and a wild story to tell.
