Happy 10 years, sweetheart. May you put up with me for many many more.

Sprites and Dice has always been about us shouting out folks who's games get us excited. In a post-Gamergate world where negativity gets clicks, we've always strive to be positive voices. Even just a friendly skeet goes a long way.

We still Rivalsing, come join! Also @blizzb3ar.bsky.social and @breeedo.bsky.social are here! (And I love them all! And thank you for that support, CB!)

It's time! I'm officially LIVE with my 6 Year Anniversary Stream! The clock is already at almost 5 hours and it's only gonna grow so it's gonna be crazy from jump. Come join the fun & celebrate with me today :D On Youtube at youtube.com/live/_orHCE9... On Twitch at www.twitch.tv/Anoriand

It's been hard to get up the energy to post thoughts or write anything lately. With everything going on on the world, it's easy to feel insignificant and sidelined. I know it's something I struggle with daily. But I can't lose hope that we can build a better tomorrow for all of us. I just can't.

We’re having a good #boardgame night! 13 people at the local board game cafe, playing the fancy version of Innovation, classic Tyrants of the Underdark, and Deep Regrets, the new hot board game!

For those that don't know, I'm the Board Chair for @takethisorg.bsky.social and we're launching a new giving option. Become a Pixel Patron today: givebutter.com/ZE8Jg4

Raptorco.threadless.com/designs/lego... Block Trump is back!

They said I was a hoarder. They said it's useless now. But here we are all these years later, and i was prepared for this day while you try and search outdated Wikis. I have triumphed.

Oblivion Remastered's ragdoll physics are a bit, um, overeager.

It's not often we review an early access game, but #Nightingale by Inflexion Games has recently gotten a capstone to its starting story content. So naturally, Adam's dived back in to give the full rundown of this stylish and different crafting survival game! spritesanddice.com/reviews/nigh...

Alright, thanks to the lovely @dndjordanlea.bsky.social, the images are done, so... This Friday, April 25th, is my 6 Year Streamerversary! It's gonna be an uncapped donothon with a 3 hour start time and every $1 is 1 minute added to the clock with tons of fun and incentives. Hope y'all can hang :D

This made my morning. @rosequeue.bsky.social @ethanquinsey.bsky.social @nellachronism.bsky.social would appreciate this casual burn.

I love sick bible burns like this.

Turns out you can shape the agenda with dramatic action and maybe even shift public opinion. Crazy.

Guys, we’re ALREADY at the “Then they came for me” part. The only thing we can’t be sure of is the order.

all the people that were asking if they could just enjoy board games without bringing politics into it are in for a treat

I need $10m to fund xcom 3 (receives tons of crowdfunding) psyche, I will keep the money to make xcom 3! (audible confusion noises) but only for myself! no one else can play it! evil villain arc (everyone arms themselves to siege my castle) overwatch nerds! hope you have full cover!

Happy Passover for all who celebrate. May all people everywhere be free.

It’s surreal how fast the United States has fallen into a dictatorial regime. Checks and balances are gone, the president disappears innocent people into foreign prison camps, words get banned, and the Overton window shifts at light speed. I honestly wonder these days when they will come for me.

🚨 Next update AND Survivor Mode is coming to #VoidCrew on April 18! 🚨 Introducing Survivor Mode: ⚔️ Brutal waves of enemies 💎 Loot-packed Rift Wrecks 💥 6 players or solo chaos store.steampowered.com/news/app/106... METEM PRESERVE YOU! @focus-entmt.com #indiegames

Updated and final #PAXEast panel schedule, including links to the panel listings since the schedule is out! I also added the Sunday panel I'd inadvertantly left off when I wrote this up the first time. cypheroftyr.com/2025/03/31/p...

A game that's all about building a community during the apocalypse feels pretty on point these days. With that in mind, here's our review of @assembleteam.bsky.social 's City Builder "Endzone: A World Apart", a game with some shortcomings but a lot of heart. www.spritesanddice.com/reviews/endz...

It's GO MODE #blackskygaming #blacksky #gaming #speedrunning

Have to give a shout out to @loricaclothing.bsky.social. Stumbled onto this awesome look at Warhammer's Grand Cathay miniatures and Chinese history. She breaks down what's historical or not in a really great way. Going to marathon her videos for a few weeks now. www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGr5...

m about 2 hours into SOUTH OF MIDNIGHT by @compulsiongames.bsky.social and honestly this son of a bitch is going to make me weep like a baby. But worth it!

As the author of a history of concentration camps, I would like to emphasize that this is a very bad idea, and we should definitely not do it.

I shared some thoughts in response to a post on Reddit that asked "will the tariffs drive publishers to focus more on card-based games?" I said "yes," and offered some details from my perspective as a board game publisher. You can see the full discussion here: www.reddit.com/r/boardgames...

Every time I see a small TTRPG publisher post a nervy "Here's what the tariffs mean for us" my heart just aches

Headed to the local small town protest. I know I’m already in a blue state, I know it’s a small act, and it might not do anything major. But sometimes you just have to do SOMETHING, even just to get started. Good luck to all those protesting in the major cities. Stay peaceful, stay safe.

If you're protesting this weekend, know your rights when interacting with law enforcement, including immigration agents.

5 Years later, we have a video that is double the length of the first one... and still only part 1! Packed full with a new lore, new quotes, new format yet the same ol grimdark. Every Warhammer Faction RE-Explained is out now! youtu.be/oDIm88df2Xo

A Black man just beat the record for the longest filibuster, defeating the record previously held by a man who filibustered the literal Civil Rights Act. As the time ticked over, Cory Booker announced he did it not out of hatred for who he opposed, but out of love for those who supported him.

In just under 40 minutes, he'll have become the senator to speak for the longest in history... which is another needed achievement: breaking Strom Thurmond's record. He's still got passion up there, at almost the 24 hour mark!
