Who's gonna be at UKGE at the end of the month? We'll be there as usual – at stand 3-625 – so come find us to pick up any back issues you're missing, or some lovely merch (including MUGS!), or to just say hi. Oh, and we'll be selling the Summer '26 edition, too, hot off the proverbial presses...

For work today I had to google ‘helipad size’, which was a reminder that my job is sometimes a little bonkers.

I think everyone has board game loves that, not matter how many times we’ve played them, always feel exciting and fun to play. Splendor is one of my board game loves. And what a joy it was to write about it!

When Veilguard came out I was looking forward to drip feeding all the storyboard work I did on that here on Bluesky. But I lost my appetite for that pretty quickly due to DISCOURSE (TM). Still, for anyone interested it’s all on my website. www.nickthornborrowart.com

My husband and I run a game store and after all the tariff announcements, he decided to write out kind of a "behind the scenes" of how we spend and spill it out for people who don't understand. He's had so many reactions and shares I wanted to bring it here, too.
