A couple weeks ago, "Almoravid" in Brazil with good beer and my cousin. Successfully converted one more to the good side of the force! @volko.bsky.social @gmtgames.bsky.social I've said it before, will say it once again, I love how "medieval" this game feels! ⚔️

All is set for some war in the Middle-Earth!

Yesterday: Almoravid, from @volko.bsky.social and @gmtgames.bsky.social , played with my cousin. This one was gifted to me for finishing my PhD. It holds a special place in my heart. Also, it just *feels* so medieval. Teenager-me would have died to play something like this 20 years ago!⚔️🛡️🐎🚩

New year, new games ☕📖

Packing Tetris all over again! Everything can be seen as a game...

What a nice afternoon exploring Colonial Twilight from Brian Train and @gmtgames.bsky.social , with my friend Luba. I always find it fascinating to see how plastic the COIN system can be. Bravo @volko.bsky.social 🙌

I expect this to have a quite serious ranked play community. It's gonna be 🔥

For those that missed, Maria now available for free over at Rally the Troops! Excellent 3 player game for anyone trying to approach historical simulation games! Thank you to Tor and the team and Histogame for creating this awesome game.

Bonjour BLUESKY! Nuts! Publishing has arrived! Lovely weather here 🌞 We'll mainly use this account for our wargame stuff to begin with. To get the ball rolling here's a link to our inaugural wargame newsletter, just published: kpd.r.bh.d.sendibt3.com/mk/mr/sh/7nV... Pls read, share, follow etc etc

Tabletop people: Does anyone know of a machine/device that is able to perfectly cut squares into thick cardboard? See the image for inspiration -- it would work fine but seems to handle thin paper only. I want to be able to use counter sheets for prototyping that would otherwise go to waste 😄
