- A tense game of @roxley.bsky.social's Brass Birmingham. No surprise that yellow won here, dominating the links around Birmingham. The undisputed 🐐 for a reason!
- Got in a game of @gmtgames.bsky.social's Twilight Struggle last night, playing as the USSR! It was super tense - lots of small early-game decisions that have major impact as the war drags on.

- Opened absolute gas at the @magic.wizards.com Lorwyn Eclipsed prerelease! Should I play all three Slumbering Walkers? 🤔

- Ran a few games of @bloodontheclocktower.com for a new group this weekend! Evil won the first and third games, with a good win in between. Some great moments including a Saint execution, Ravenkeeper confirming the Virgin and a Mayor deflection on the Spy. Had some help from my familiar, Artie 😺

- Got @wehrlegig.games's Pax Pamir to the table again after a long while! Phenomenal game as usual - Afghan and British coalitions neck and neck until the final Dominance check.
- Ra finally arrived! Really interesting mix of push your luck, auction and set collection mechanics. The most interesting aspect was being able to bid on previously used bidding tokens. Feels like a deeper and more repayable 7 Wonders. A great Knizia game, but still can't unseat Battle Line!

- Had a great time watching The Call of Cthulu at The Sun Theatre last night. Loved hearing the excellent Sean Branney and Andrew Leman talk about the creation of the film afterwards!
- Reposted by Ricky CentofantiMake sure your RPG battle transitions, scene composition, and attack animations are at least as cool as this Taiwanese DOS RPG from 1995

- Alt: Games day 1 has been great! Loved hearing Richard Garfield's talk on game balance. @ascedusk.bsky.social @tazzzy505.bsky.social
- Dragons of Tarkir is an awesome #mtg set! Built a sweet Mardu midrange deck at my local #prerelease and went 2-1. Lots of great synergies and overlap between the clans. Keen to draft the set in the future.
