I find that paying for kickstarter shipping after the campaign, during the pledge manager, is much easier than it being included in the initial pledge amount. I’m sure this is due to the sunk cost of the original pledge Anyone else feel that way?

@philwh.bsky.social can you answer a Oh No Volcano rule question? Can you use caves in the middle of a move? Or do you have to end your movement to use it? Thanks :)

This one is a little behind in funding (though we are in mid-campaign doldrums, and these things spike at the end), so maybe throw in a few bucks so both of us can get a game!

I'm keeping the #BoardGame publisher Starter Pack up to date as best I can - but pneumonia and a convention means I may have missed folks. 1) Have you checked it recently for new publishers joining? 2) Let me know who I've missed! go.bsky.app/DSNtxDE

So many #BoardGame folks have joined Bsky recently! I know I've missed a buncha media folks for the Starter Pack. I do light vetting (no chuds allowed) but please raise your hand if you (or you have a fave channel you) want to be added! go.bsky.app/14FHW6F

Listen: All we want is for everybody on the whole planet Earth to give Parks a try, so we made it a Black Friday deal on the website named after the famous river! It's such a good game, we swear. And there's lots of additional rivers in it. Calling all river fans! www.amazon.com/Keymaster-Ga...

Heyo new buds. I am 1/3 of the team who founded and runs G2S a 4 day, open boardgaming focused convention in Nashua, NH. Badges for #G2S205 go on sale today. I don't talk about boardgames or events every day though. Generally it's a mixed up mess of whatever is happening in my life overall.

I will say this now and hope I don't have to repeat it. This is not Twitter. Because BlueSky is intended as a federated system... A LOT OF INFORATION IS PUBLIC HERE. Including a user's block list. Find someone you trust, look at who they block, consider those accounts, and act accordingly.

Board Gamers... I've been maintaining the "official board game publisher accounts" list. Just added two more today. Encouraging the company accounts to be active here is a great way to keep the tabletop momentum going on Bsky. bsky.app/profile/did:...

Reposting this because a lot of #boardgamesky has landed, and with it some trashbags. If there's only one acct you immediately wall off from your Bsky friends & follows it's David Leavitt. He checks three toxic boxes: Resistance grifter, boardgame grifter, & creepo. bsky.app/profile/davi...
