@easterly1 Never even considered it

@BoardgamesToGo Not threads?

Ok, I think I'm jumping ship to bluesky now. Will be doing my part for a more positive experience. boardgamestogo.bsky.social

@FetLera Absolutely. Top notch filler.

@BoardgamesToGo Does Coloretto hold up? I think I would like to give it a try.

Another old school game night. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Yep, another podcast posted. BGTG 219 is about Game Conventions. BoardgamesToGo.com

I’m a big fan of the history games Fort Circle is doing, so it was exciting to play their next one. Plus it was great to meet Jason, Kevin, and designer Talia. :-)

Happy Pride month from this proud father. 🏳️‍⚧️

@kathrinnos @elizhargrave Once some of our regulars moved away, we were without any women in our group for a while. I didn’t feel great about that. Now a new woman has joined us and I hope that can make it easier to broaden the group again.

I’ve been thinking about whether/how to comment on Ryan Dancey’s tweet beyond what I said in the moment. For me the biggest whiplash was the impression he gave that AEG thinks women don’t make publishable games - because that clearly isn’t true in practice. 1/

@fortcircle @torylynn Wow, impressive!

These rather mysterious pictures fill me with joy - it means that five complimentary copies of Votes for Women have found their way to a game store in Tehran.

Three favorites for game night. Wingspan, Ethnos, and the old gold box edition of Carc. Our Wingspan winner’s MVP shown 🕊️

Catching up on @senetmagazine while latest & back issues are on order. Love the idea playlists for boardgames. Sure enough, there are several shared on Spotify. What we need is a standard prefix or abbreviation to find & share them.

@Mike_Wuerthele Thanks. That's what I'm trying, but I must have a permissions problem. After a reboot it doesn't recognize the new home for the user files. Hmm...

@BoardgamesToGo Oooh, I thought you were migrating wholesale to a new drive. This: lifewire.com/move-macs-home… Should work, unless you've got broken permissions somewhere.

Any MacOS experts out there? I'm trying to offload User accounts on my older (Catalina) system from my SSD to an HDD. I'm following instructions but it ain't working...

@Mike_Wuerthele I'm confused. It's not a backup I'm after. I'm running a dual-drive system and want to make use of the slower HDD for User folders instead of filling the SDD with them.

@BoardgamesToGo bombich.com is your best friend here.

The best sort of lunch hour at work.

@fortcircle @Volko26 Agreed you can keep working it, but so far a strong preference for the right. Clear & bold are way more important than “including everything.”

Draft covers for the @Volko26 game Hunt for Blackbeard. Any preference for the one on the left or the one on the right? Or thoughts in general?

@thettexpress @HachetteBGUSA I was surprised & impressed by this, too. Quality, economical production.

Loved it on BGA and #Arkopolis really delivers the goods in production quality as well. A fantastic insert at retail cost (as you can see) and quality cardboard in this fun tile-laying game. [Game was my birthday present today - had to share - CB] Kudos @HachetteBGUSA.

@JasonDCMatthews @labyrinthdc @fortcircle @elizhargrave Sounds great! I should be able to make it. (PS Labyrinth Games, I was happy to see the progress pride flag in your shop photo on Google Maps)

@BoardgamesToGo @labyrinthdc @fortcircle @elizhargrave Would love to see you Mark! I’ll be there with Volko, Kevin Bertram and the crew.

I'm traveling to the DC area next week. Looks like @labyrinthdc has an event on Wednesday night I could maybe make. Also looking for suggestions from area gamers like @JasonDCMatthews , @fortcircle , @elizhargrave . (I arrive at Dulles the evening before at 5pm.)

I’m a boardgamer now, but back then I was a roleplayer.
