1. Tomorrow's my birthday and here's a gift you can get for me: Buy a small creator's work. Local band, indie writer, up-and-coming visual artist, that crafter down the street, or whomever. Your support matters to them, especially in this economic/social environment. And you deserve some joy, too.

Mark Herman’s Gettysburg, originally from C3i magazine is part of the same Steam sale bundle as Waterloo and Rebel Fury. All three run well on the Steam Deck! This version of Gettysburg is very light and easily playable in 20-30 minutes. I found the Union side easier.

I came here to make this very point, but designer Matt Leacock beat me to the punch! I am so happy to have re-discovered Chris Farrell's substack, Illuminating Games. His writing & analysis is the sharpest I've enjoyed in the boardgaming hobby for a long, long time. 100% recommended.

There are just a few Jackie Fox promo cards left for Rock Hard: 1977. Once these are gone, that's it. All proceeds on this autographed card go to Pasadena Humane Society to provide care for animals lost, abandoned, burned or injured in the recent L.A. wildfires. www.ebay.com/itm/14648448...
