I was worried I overhyped Chicken Fried Dice (@urbanprogames.bsky.social ) and that my wife wouldn't like it as much as I did when we got to play it.

Besides the great games from PAX Unplugged, more fun made its way to us courtesy of @restorationgames.bsky.social . Looking forward to reliving some childhood memories while diving into a system so many of you have recommended.

If you're looking for something different when it comes to games, @lunarpunk.games is coming out with some wildly different concepts in victorless and multivictor games.

We played a couple of games of All In: Predictions at the Asmodee media event at #paxunplugged2025 . Interesting blend of poker and Fantasy Realms, where players are trying to construct the best poker hand at the end of the round that they can by giving up cards for the actions on them.

Today I hold the needless deaths of my trans siblings close to my heart as I observe Transgender Day of Remembrance. Today I also take up my space in the world, proud and unapologetic about who I am because they're no longer able to.

Had a day where @peppermintfox.bsky.social and I could just relax before the impending storm of PAX and the holidays...so we sat down to new arrival The Hobbit: There and Back Again @officedoggames.bsky.social. Aly asked for a second game after the first, so that's pretty high praise!

You kids might have your fancy dice towers and dual layered player boards, but in my day we had...

Formaggio ruined me with the new Venice board segment. The process of figuring out how I was going to be putting down new cheese pieces to maximize my boat score made this by far and away my favorite module...I just wanna place my little boats!
