Games Workshop’s new pre-painted Battlefields Armageddon terrain set costs $400, and the weekly Spikey Bits raises questions about its value. Flashforge launched the CJ270, a $3,999 desktop printer that prints minis in full color, saying no need for hand-painting. https://shop.tinkerhousegames.com

Feral hit Kickstarter today. It's a historical-fantasy RPG set in the mid-1700s North American fur trade, with folklore and supernatural horror creeping in at the edges. The Vault of Mini Things could be useful! #TTRPG #indiegames https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/feralthebestiary/feral-rpg

Skip the bobbing for apples this Halloween. Try Slap Happy instead. Swap the tokens for a bowl of wrapped Halloween candy. Everyone slaps for candy! Would your party go for it, or stick with apples? #SlapHappy #Halloween https://shop.tinkerhousegames.com/products/slap-happy-cookie-chaos

Pre-printed sci-fi terrain, ready to play out of the box: platforms, catwalks, ladders, stairs and barricades for 28–32mm games. No painting required. Catwalks or loading dock first? #TinkerTurf #wargaming https://shop.tinkerhousegames.com/products/sci-fi-industrial-starter-neutral

The Supreme Court is hearing oral arguments in the tariff case. Listen here. www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen...

This is a fabulous game!!

We will be showing off The Vault of Mini Things at Zulu Board Games booth!

Loving my Vault of Mini Things from @tinkerhousegames.com. I bought one of everything and that required a bit of further organization so i made some 3d printable files and thought i would share them for anyone interested. www.printables.com/model/145667...

Finally, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in the case on November 5, beginning at 10:00 a.m. (Eastern). You can listen live here: www.supremecourt.gov/oral_argumen....

PAX West was great fun this year and we were so very happy to see all of you that came out! Our team brought their “A” game and really supported me through my journey. Things are getting easier and I’m feeling stronger each day. Thank you all again for your well wishes! It really means a ton!!

On Aug 15 I was diagnosed with bladder cancer. Surgery and intravesical chemo are ahead, with years of follow-up likely. If you can help — through a donation or a share — it means the world to my family and me: 👉 gofund.me/69f83213 #BladderCancer #MutualAid #TabletopGames

The government filed a supplemental notice in the tariff case that I believe sets the ground work for them to use this filing in statements when they loose. It reads to me that they are making the case to say the economic disaster is actually the result of our lawsuit!

If you haven't yet, you need to go check out #MausritterMonth on @backerkit.com. There are some great Mausritter projects coming from @losing.games @josiahmoore.bsky.social @owenmcg.bsky.social @tenacregames.bsky.social and more! Go give all the projects a follow! www.backerkit.com/c/collection...

What can you tell us about your experience importing and shipping?

Board game distributor, publisher and e-commerce specialist Flat River Group has downsized again, with industry veterans Jules Vautour, Colin Young and Danni Loe leaving to revive distributor Luma Imports as part of ACD Distribution: boardgamewire.com/index.php/20... @dannibelow.bsky.social

This is just crazy. Diamond is seeking permission to sell consigned inventory without publisher consent, potentially at reduced prices, as part of bankruptcy liquidation. Publishers may see lower returns or no returns at all from the sale and lose negotiating power!!! icv2.com/articles/new...

Just got an email from our shipping broker. We are asking about container rates. Their response was “Rates have skyrocketed both in terms of bidding wars, price gouging, and the carriers just raising rates with GRIs on the 1st and 15th of the month. Rates can literally change overnight. Damages!!!

How we feel about our crowdfunding backers? Chris was interviewed by Nerdpreneur about his nerdy passions: youtube.com/shorts/xVyKD...

Huge thanks to the ream of publishers who took the time amid this crazy situation to speak with me, including: @restorationgames.bsky.social @renegadegamestudios.com @firesidegames.bsky.social @trzewik.bsky.social @stonemaiergames.com @cephalofairgames.bsky.social @hachettebgusa.bsky.social

This is a great resource for information about the impact of tariffs on the board game industry. #boardgames #tariffs

New board game art interview! Returning to PARKS. I spoke to the artistic lead @emrichoffice.bsky.social about the big shoes they had to fill, reimagining Parks for its Second Edition. I think they did an amazing job. www.moregamesplease.com/art-in-board...
