Wizards reached out to a bunch of stores five days before the Hobbit prerelease to let us know that Play Boosters “may be delayed.” Then, after complete radio silence for a week, we finally got an email today telling us we won’t be receiving them until September.
Do better.

I’ve been running @bloodontheclocktower.com games fairly regularly in my basement for about 2 years now and one of my regulars surprised me with this awesome stained glass piece for my game room.

Today is a momentous day for the workers of Arena! After months of planning, waiting and organizing, our dream is finally a reality; the votes have been counted, and our union of UWOTC-CWA has been officially elected.
From this day forward, we have a union!

Do you ever get home from work, immediately take off your pants, realize you can’t carry both your phone and the cereal down the stairs, put the phone in the cereal box, and then spend 20 minutes looking for your phone?

I spent a bunch of my anxiety filled energy cleaning up my board game shelves. I managed to prune about 20 games but my shelves are still full.

My two themes for Thursday. Puppy definitely giving off demon vibes 😈
Looking forward to doing a Leviathan script tonight! The demon doesn't kill people but if the townsfolk kill two good people they lose, and if the game lasts to night five demon wins

WILD game to end on! I was going to gush about it but just realized it might spoil the game if someone wanted to watch the vod.

I got some free Deftones tickets after being on the fence about going for the last few months and they ended up being in a suite.

If there's one episode of TV I wish I could force everyone to watch and internalize, it's the 30 Rock where Liz, who has always seen herself as a bullied nerd underdog, finds out she's actually been hated all her life because she's mean.

We're having a staff PowerPoint party at Lodestone in a few weeks, and I need to figure out what to present.
