Hello! ʘ‿ʘ

I’m a writer and editor for #boardgames and #RPGs. Lead writer on Tales of the Arthurian Knights. Writer on the upcoming Tales of the Arabian Nights, Doctor Who: The Roleplaying Game, and more.

I’m also a demonstrator, playtester, designer, and general ne'er-do-well!
Hold on, I don't think I have those things either! Damn, we're absolute legends! *fist bumps*
My wallet has been found by the bus company! IT'S A CHRISTMAS MIRACLE!
It's okay (not really, but you know.) I'll sort it out. I appreciate it though.
There's always something. I lost my wallet on the bus to the airport. I'm trying not to have a complete meltdown. :(
I reeeeally want to see a spin-off with that character solving crimes.
5 films to get to know me:

- Aliens

5 films to get to know me:

That sounds interesting! I'll have to keep an eye on it. :)
Ooooh, what do you do in your board game?
I'm glad you're having a good time! I haven't played Netrunner since getting it again. I'm a bad cyberpunk; I'm a cyberjunk.

“When they rob us of art and emotion, that leads us towards the aesthetics of fascism. In this film, all the sets are real, the decor is human-sized, there are painstakingly created miniatures... It’s there to remind us that art is not only necessary, it is urgent. And AI can go fuck itself!”

Ha! I just realised I was the one who recommended it! 😆
Dune: Imperium? If so, it's such a good game!

When I'm not working, definitely! It's a lot, much larger than UKGE (and this year it'll be even larger), but it's pretty much the board game equivalent of Wonka's chocolate factory. 😁
I have waaaaay too many (over 500), but I'll be adding a few more from Essen Spiel next week! Food is overrated!
Many years ago, back when Ken Griffey Jr. and Randy Johnson played for them, the Mariners were my fave team. I hope you have a good time!
The main Sushi Go! (particularly Sushi Go Party!, because it adds a lot more variety) is great.

HOLY FUCKING SHIT

GUYS I CAN'T EVEN TELL YOU

OPUS DEI IS THE SCIENTOLOGY OF CATHOLICISM THEY ARE THE ONLY THING "THE DA VINCI CODE" GOT RIGHT THEY ARE AWFUL AND THEY ARE EVIL AND THEY HAVE ENORMOUS POWER AND THEY ARE INTEGRAL TO TRADFASH CATHOLICISM
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV is set to effectively disband Opus Dei in the coming weeks.

This would be the most sweeping internal reform of his pontificate — and a dramatic continuation of Pope Francis’s legacy.
NEW: Pope Leo Set To Break Up Opus Dei
If Pope Leo does indeed approves a plan that effectively dissolves Opus Dei’s structure, it would be the most significant internal action of his short pontificate to date.

🚀 Happy birthday to Dr. Mae Carol Jemison (b. Oct 17, 1956)!🎉🎂 🎈 She made history as the first Black woman in space aboard Endeavour in 1992, and later became the first real astronaut to appear on Star Trek, playing Lt. Palmer in TNG’s "Second Chances." 🖖🏾✨
I beg to differ. *waggles eyebrows*
