    Mongoose Acquires Dark Conspiracy - Coming 2026!

    I can't say this wasn't a dark horse as I haven't played the game in about thirty years. I'm looking forward to seeing what you guys put out there.

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    Fridging is one of those things you look at in the aggregate rather than on an individual basis. The idea behind fridging is female supporting characters in comics very often suffered disproportionate harm relative to male supporting characters. You can't just look at one instance and say...

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    I just placed an order with Archon Studios for a pretty good amount. I'd been meaning to try out one of their dragons and I was afraid I might not get another opportunity in the future.

    Like I said earlier, while I don't think of myself as a collector I've got to admit that I am a collector. I have a wide range of miniatures displayed on my shelf. By any reasonable definition, I have a collection of miniatures. I might purchase them to paint and use in games, but it’s...

    Necessity of a Social Negotiation System? – When Should It Be Relevant?

    I guess everything is dependent on the game. I always like to ask whether something is going to make a difference in the game. i.e. Is this a meaningful interaction? For most of my games, dealing with a merchant, buying and selling items, just isn't a meaningful encounter. It doesn't mean...

    Necessity of a Social Negotiation System? – When Should It Be Relevant?

    As I like to tell my players, "Social skills are not a form of mind control." In truth, in scenario #1 nothing interesting happens. Oh, boy! You've saved 10% on healing potions. Who cares? Even if cold, hard cash was important in the game, saving 10% is hardly the type of thing anyone is...

    GAMA's Communications Manager Declares Organization 'Broken'

    She decided to leave. I expect her primary goal was to get the heck out and move on to greener pastures.

    GAMA's Communications Manager Declares Organization 'Broken'

    I work in HR, and you're right that we want an honest response, but then we'd prefer that response weren't so public.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    On the bright side, high tariffs might be just the motivation I need to tackle all my unpainted projects here at home. I am considering making a few discrete purchases of paint and perhaps some miniatures. But I have to temper such expenditures as I'm also worried everything else in my life is...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    And here is the finished product. I’m happy with it overall. I spent far more time on the hat than I did anything else.

    How Will The New Tariffs Affect TTRPG Prices?

    I know GW has a distribution center here in the United States, at least one in Memphis, but I don't know if they actually produce anything here. You're not wrong about GW doing well, I got back into 40k specifically because the pandemic left me with a lot of time on my hands and I started...

    What Game Publishers Are Saying About The Tariffs

    I think the price of everything will go up whether it's game related or not. I'll certainly be purchasing more PDFs than I otherwise might have depending on what prices look like in a few months.

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    When I saw Foggy in the first episode I said to myself, "Oh, I thought he wasn't in this series."

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    A little more progress. Since these chibi figures have giant heads, I thought I could work on my skin game a bit. That last sentenced didn't sound so creepy in my head. With women, I have a hard time doing makeup. "Well women don't need makeup, you sexist jerk, you!" I know, I know. They...

    Spoilers Daredevil: Born Again (Spoilers)

    Considerably less bad than who? He demonstrated a willingness to murder unarmed people to achieve his mission goals. This was an intelligent, ruthless man who was in control of his actions the whole time. He also held his own against Murdoch during their fight which is why it ended in such a...

    Fighting the Gray Tide (Miniature Painting)

    I'm a big fan of their metallics for airbrush. I don't think I've used any of their other metallics.

    I think of it as aspirational consumption. i.e. I sure hope I get to play this. The thing with board games, is that a lot of people will play one regularly until they don't. I used to be able to find a game of Puerto Rico or Settlers of Catan quite easily, but I haven't seen anyone playing...
