@Fearteiler I reach for the old classics a lot, which annoys people into the cult of the new. Castles of Burgundy, Key Market II, Troyes, Dominion. But I like the newer games, too. Merv, Skylines, Steam Up.

That's the whole point of the Meeple Escape weekend. An Entire weekend of Staying up until 1am on Fri and Sat to play games. A group of people played TI4 with expansions at 7 players. Took the whole of Saturday from 9am-1130pm. The rest of the time. No. Nearly enough time to play games.
I never ever ever win at Dominion, although I always have fun regardless. But tonight, I crushed my opponents so thoroughly that they aren’t going to ever let me use the strategy I used again. #BoardGames#TabletopGames
@dirt Their big arc was spoiled when their major baddie beat up a woman IRL so they had to dump him. Loki tried to tie that off, but they're floundering a lot, now.
@jupiter This infographic was generated by @XdanielArt, a few years ago, now. I'm just re-sharing. The point of this info is to be shared, so go ahead.
Just finished 'Cruel Provocations' by @golgaloth and I wish it wasn't over - so much so that I stopped myself reading the last few chapters last night, just to draw the enjoyment out a little longer.
An intriguing tale that combines an ostensibly fantasy setting with proto-electric technology (lightning-punk?) its twists and turns take you to unexpected places, and does "the fey" with a unique approach that I loved.
A very impressive debut novel that cries out for a sequel!
Went to #Continuum16#c16Reboot and spent so much time around writers and ideas that I wrote an entire 6,000 word short story over the course of the weekend.
Worth it just for that.
Also, many lovely people and interesting presentations.
What is the best solution for those horrible tiny black beetles that always chew up my eggplant leaves? I normally don't use anything more potent than insecticidal soap but it barely has any effect on them. And although it's satisfying, I can't stay ahead of them by smashing them between my fingers.
