Top Tip: If you make rules errors simply tell your friends: "that was the intro game, next time we'll play the expert variant". They'll never know!

If you're making plans, book soon! The Philly marathon is the same weekend. #BoardGames #PAXUnplugged

NEW: Bluesky has seen massive growth in the weeks following the US election. There are 24 million users on the social media platform. With great engagement comes great responsibility, which means Bluesky CEO @jay.bsky.team has a lot to do. She sat down with WIRED to talk about it.

Great to see a major network providing airtime to Bluesky CEO to explain firsthand the benefits of Bluesky and how it differs in key ways from other social networks. www.cnbc.com/2024/11/21/b...

🦋 WELCOME TO BLUESKY! I recommend exploring our custom feeds, which are a little like hashtags but more interesting. We have them for academic and professional subjects, sports, cities, hobbies (e.g., gardening, baking), and many more. Search them in the sidebar under Feeds. 🧵

I made a starter pack! Will definitely be adding to this as more folks join us. If anyone knows any accounts I need to add please let me know! go.bsky.app/6GQgChs

We are super excited to announce Point Galaxy and Propolis! We will be bringing these two new small box games to Kickstarter in early 2025 and we cannot wait for you all to try them! #sequencebuilding #workerplacement #enginebuilding #setcollection

The distinctions between AT Protocol and ActivityPub don't just impact Bluesky and Mastodon's communities, they impact whether the two will be bridged at all. And that could impact the entire evolution of decentralized social networks, as @amanda.omg.lol explains.

How cool is this?! My face on the home page of Board Game Geek! Give a listen to the latest episode of the BGG Podcast if you're interested in my experience at BGG Con, and my thoughts on Grand Austria Hotel and the Marine Worlds expansion for Ark Nova.

A couple plays of Imperial Miners and a play of Tapestry today at Silver Key Lounge. Fun games and a great venue. Board games are cool.
