The first episode is in the BAG of the Roots of Old Kaldhur!! It was full of goat sounds, wizard highs, skeletal protrusions, and flaming wedding proposals. Had an absolute blast and maybe next episode Valen can shake off the crab moss psychedelics?

Also teeth count as an equipment.

Sammiiscribbles is wearing masculine makeup and looking slightly down at the camera. A long scar starts above their eyebrow and drags down their eye and down their cheek, just below the eye the scar branches off and cuts across their nose.

A thick fur wrap rests on their shoulders. The vibe of the image is almost medieval.

A gold famed selfie of sammiiscribbles smiling brightly with teeth while looking straight at the camera. They are wearing large circular wire glasses and a green rubbed turtle neck.

Beneath the image in a capital font it reads 8:30 EST ON TUESDAYS TWITCH.tv/HIGHSHELFCOLLECTIVE. Immediately to the right are black and white dice rolled as a 2 on the white, then 5, 1 , 3 on the black following the dice leading to a white dice with stylized antlers.

Above the dice in a cursive font it says sammiiscribbles as Valen.

Above the aforementioned text box is another text that reads: Roots of Old Kaldurh, a Trophy Gold Actual Play.

An actual play poster. The top section of the poster looks like lightly crumpled parchment paper. In a an all caps font it reads “ROOTS OF” then directly beneath in a stylized cursive it reads “Old Kaldurh.” Beneath in the same caps font it reads: A Trophy Gold Actual Play.

The next section of the poster shows the six cast members, left to right the names beneath the images read Chaotic, Switchel, John
Next row down:Casper, Sam, and Doc

Then beneath the last row it says 830 EST Tuesdays.

My 6-year-old, out of nowhere: “Mom, the only thing that matters in life is living.”

Me: “Where did you hear that?”

Her, incredulously: “In my mind!”

Proceeds to fall asleep.

Update to this chart that I share a lot. Not breaking news: Game design teams are still OVERWHELMINGLY all men. About 7% of the top 500 games have a woman or non-binary person credited as a designer. A 🧵of related charts: (1/6)
🎲✂️

Gender of Game Designers: Board Game Geek Top 500, January 2025

A pie chart:
92% of the pie is Designed only by men. They made 461 of the top 500 games.
6% of the pie is Designed by a mixed-gender group. They made 28 of the top 500 games.
1% of the pie is Designed only by women or non-binary people. They made 5 of the top 500 games.

Data are for January 1, 2025, using the names in the Designer field on BGG. Not shown are 6 games in the top 500 that have uncredited designers.

Ready for tomorrow Baltimore.

Holding a large piece of cardboard as a sign, it reads “they blame immigrants” at the top. A hand pointing at a stick figure looking scared below the words. Then the sign continues to read, “so you won’t blame billionaires.”

Shhhh work doesn’t need to know. 🤫 I just got really excited and wanted to start reading @glyphtide.games’s CHAIN X LINK.

Something about “semi-cooperative” really appeals to me. IYKYK 😬🤣

The lighting in my office kitchen called for an impromptu photo, so here we are. Feigning confidence and waiting for coffee 🤣

A person with short, light brown hair and round glasses standing in front of a dark blue wall. They are wearing a dark blazer over a light olive-green top and light blue jeans, with hands in their pockets. Direct look at camera with a small smile.
