Wife is off today, which means some midday Wingspan! The time has come to finally get the rest of these wingspansions mixed in. #boardgames

What’s your sign? Wait, I got this one - poor @theadamfactor.bsky.social pulled this fortune cookie while we were playing Netrunner pre pandemic. It’s one of my favorite pictures of me.

I love this damn game. This damn silly silly game. #boardgames

Doing writing work and alternating with playing Street Fighter 6, I have learned, do not mesh. My hands are a jittery mess of nerves firing at lightning speeds. Even typing this skeet is a herculean effort in focus.

Im going to Luxian Lunacy, my first Raindance Immersive event of this year. Were at a theater with robot hosts going around in the preshow even.

And we are live to watch Summer Game Fest 2025! Come hang out with our community and talk excitedly about the reveals! www.twitch.tv/spritesanddice #SGF #SummerGameFest #Videogames

Tonight I'm finally back at game night, and doing something a little different! We're doing a 1-shot cyberpunk adventure.

Casual wingspansion day! Finally trying out Oceania in a much beloved household title! #boardgames

How's the tabletop side of my Bluesky doing? Sorry I haven't been posting about board games and ttrpgs lately. There's just been so much going on in the VR performance end. I have a ttrpg review currently in the works and am trying desperately to get back to board game night next week.

"Balance" is a lie by Big TTRPG, told to sell more books.

Something amazing happened recently 🎉 Observa Theater has been nominated for Best Live Performance at @raindance.org Immersive Festival It's a huge honor and this means that Luxian Lunacy will come back one more time! Thank you everyone on the team who worked on the show and behind the scenes!

Come see my stream tonight if you can't make it in person!!

Our shows always drop my jaw, but I gotta say what we have in store this weekend is some really top notch stuff! If you're in VR, you should come by one of our shows. Or at least tune in for our Twitch stream. I am so proud of each and every person who makes this show what it is! #VRChat

So in completely unrelated news, guess what just showed up on my doorstep? (and also that of a friend) Hyped to play!

I'm so excited to announce that @luxe-nova.com has been nominated for best live performance for Raindance Immersive 2025! I'm absolutely thrilled to finally be able to share the news! #VRChat The other nominees are looking neat too. Why not have a peek? www.raindanceimmersive.com

Realizing part of my lack of activity on social media is bc I rarely have the impulse to pick it up in the moments during or after an event. And given the "this is happening right now" nature of it, I just sort of miss out. Anyway enjoy my likely one skeet for the weekend.

I really like this philosophical framing America is run like a bad failing business, Singapore run like an effective business But it’s sure worth pursuing the indigenous values of “society as a household” … to scale

You know what? Here. Have some cats to brighten your day!

How you doing Bluesky? Feels like forever since I posted anything up here and should let folks know I'm still alive. Low batteries and other obligations have keep me away from board game night several weeks running.

It's 1am and I just got out from watching The Matrix while in VR. What a surreal experience.

An unasked for bit of con attendance tips before we all head to @officialpax.bsky.social in a few days! Also, important #REALID things cause that kicks in on the day many of us will be traveling in to Boston for the con. A small 🧵

Tell you what. Lately my batteries have been pretty low. The lack of board game photos here is from me staying in from game nights. Just don't have the energy to get out these days.

Love how everyone's enjoying the spring event in #MHWilds, but no one is talking about the cutest part of it. You never actually get to eat the dangos in the festival meal. Your palico eats them all before you can! (they even pose standing behind you instead of next to you when the meal finishes)

PKU has made an amazing video highlighting the experience that Luxe Nova brings to everyone... Check this out! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pnnx...

Picked up some trackers for my VR experience. And the straps came with these socks. DO VR tracker strap companies know their demographic or what?

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.

The board game industry is hurting, livelihoods are being lost and some original games may never be seen. Which is why I've been so inspired to keep celebrating the creatives who make games. Share what you love, make sure people know it.

OOooooo fantastic news for my mech-loving friends, TTRPG-loving friends, and my TTRPG mech-loving friends. Good news! MECHS!!

Wyatt didn't have to nudge me very hard to write about Nightingale 😅 I poured 200 hours into the first builds of this game and 200 more after the Realms Rebuilt update. Plus more! It's probably about time I put a few words together about this unique crafting/survival title!

Congratulations people who "wanted politics out of games", you made gaming the most political it has ever been, well done

HECK YEAH

No but seriously. What the heck even is my taste in video games???

Gotta say, as with all Wehrlegig titles I've played, Molly House is thoughtful. It squeezes a maximum of interaction and decision making from a minimum of rules and components. But unlike other titles, this one is so much easier to teach and play. So accessible! #boardgames
