I'm a huge fan of the ALIEN Fate of the Nostromo boardgame by @scottrogers.bsky.social and released by @ravensburgertcg.bsky.social. it's full of tension and can get really exciting - we've only beaten it once.
The minis are really cool, too. I'd love to see Ash and Kane minis to complete the crew.

@jamesgunn.bsky.social You’ve said your favorite DC character who hasn’t made it to live-action is Bat-Mite (a great character!) who is your second choice? Mine is Killer Moth.

A great boardgame, designed by @scottrogers.bsky.social released by @ravensburgertcg.bsky.social. ALIEN Fate of the Nostromo is tense, quick, a lot of fun and the miniatures are fantastic.
I had to get this of course, and it's a great part of my collection. I'd love to see one like this for ALIENS.

Last night was the 250th anniversary of Paul Revere's midnight ride to warn the Minutemen of approaching British troops.
I want to take a moment to share an excerpt from the Declaration of Independence's grievances against King George III.
Remind you of anyone?

In an interview with yours truly, Pac-Man World designer Scott Rogers explained how Orson came to be, bringing up some pretty neat (or horrifying, depending on how you look at it) lore bits that are never addressed in the game.
