Dad was pretty cool. Movie on TV was β€œMidway” Later on tv, β€œMonty Python Holy Grail” Sometime around 1976, we got our first video game. Then he took me to see β€œAnimal House” at the theater. (I was 14) I’m 1 of 4 kids. Seeing movies became our thing. We saw 100s together.

Someone asked me if Runequest is a good game. I said, "It’s a hit with a non-zero percentage."

Thinking of my dad and brother on Father’s Day. My best friends, both of whom died too soon from cancer.

A family friend got my wife chocolates for her birthday. Not just any chocolates though. Just LOOK at these. The colorful coating and INGREDIENTS reflect the work on which they’re based. sweetdesigns.com/collections/...

Avon Ladies Just remembered that was a thing. My mom got me a moon landing shampoo set. πŸ§‘πŸ»β€πŸš€πŸŒ– The bottle was the lunar orbiter and the cap was the lunar lander. Included a roll-n-move game. The cap was a dreidel-like D4 for the game. www.ebay.com/itm/11584357...

Wow. Turns out that the Minnesota shooter Vance Boelter was an evangelical Christian who, per his website, "sought out militant Islamists in order to share the gospel and tell them that violence wasn't the answer." Does this now make him a β€œmilitant Christianist?” 1/2

Big family gathering today. We got talking about cursive, and how kids don’t know how blah blah blah. Yeah yeah, we olds are all geniuses. Show us your skills. Write this 2-word sentence in cursive. β€œQuit it”

I've heard several of you reporting that you liked the new "Hot Streak" game from @cmyk.games If you have a copy, where did you get it? I've been scouring my FLGSs (and one notably ULGS) trying to find a copy. No joy. I'm hoping to grab it at @originsgamefair.bsky.social next week.

Looking through @cmyk.games's game catalog. I like their style. I own several of their party games. One that won't work for me is Figment. With my degree of protanopia, I can *just barely* discern the 4 colors. No way my eyes and brain can process the area ratios. www.cmyk.games/collections/...

There is a breed of male humans that have "just want to kill a dude at least once" etched into their psyche. (I'm related by marriage to at least one man like this.) Gotta be careful saying so. ICE might end up using that as a recruiting slogan for their G.I. Joe wannabe cosplayers brigade.

It doesn't look like @cmyk.games will be at @originsgamefair.bsky.social Does anyone know if some other team will be selling #HotStreak at the convention?

Can’t emphasize enough what a disgrace this whole sad episode was

I see that they're re-releasing Magical Athlete. Love, love, love, this simple sleeper game. Great intro for kids to auction mechanics. I wish I was more excited about the new art. Tastes vary. I just saw an image of new race game themed on team mascots. Now THAT would've been cool for MA.

I can finally talk about this! I was AD/graphic design lead on #StarTrek: Captain's Chair, an ambitious card game spanning the entirety of Trek canon. Happy to say it's been such a hit that we now have TWO new boxes for pre-order: β€’ To Boldly Go β€’ Second Contact shop.wizkids.com/collections/...

I'm bringing my big box version of Joyride to Origins. Anyone interested in learning it with me?

Anything on your #Origins2025 wish list?

I did what I did. Most of the rest are names of sports teams.

My reaction to the emerging 🟠 vs πŸ§‘β€πŸš€ feud...

I found a nice reframing for a thought that stopped me cold the other day. Doing part of my day job the other day. I’m feeling a bit off, for reasons. Anyway, I heard myself thinking β€œI used to be good at this.” That sucked. A moment later I thought, β€œNo, I’m USED TO being good at this.”
