Here I go with the '@'s again.
Deeply encourage @goingmedieval.bsky.social to check this board game out. Just played today #HistoryNerdEuphoria

Backed the game - dropped out when there was no Solo mode announced - regret - game is released - grateful to find a fanmade Solo and someone willing to part with ther copy.
First Solo game today. Looking forward to it :)

Wait, so is this a Solo 18xx game!?
@joedewhurst.bsky.social and I are play testing The Nights of King Ludd today. A manufacturer was assassinated, oaths were broken, signal rockets were fired ... but Fortune did not favor us this time. In the end, only one Mill was left smoldering, our compatriots banished to exile in Australia.
Our baby! @djackthompson.bsky.social
Hi Andrew -are you on BGG? I can message you on there. I haven't verified myself on social media :)
Where can I find more info on the game - looks interesting
Well, 'Requiem for a Dream' has lost it's 1st Place holder for 'most unwatchable and offensive' movie in his list of credits.
Would be fantastic if they did a series on the English Civil War/War of the Three Kingdoms
Please correct me if I am wrong but; Why do we not have anything like this in the UK?
It's just two days until our next online con, SDHistCon Winter Quarters 2026! You can buy badges here: tabletop.events/conventions/.... Check out some of our amazing events, including Brian Train talking with @andrewbucholtz.bsky.social about China's War and more: sdhist.com/incredible-e...
've only been reading over the past day but specifically there was a post yesterday morning regarding a part time employee (Sam Healey) posting content on his public fb and yt page that blamed Alex Pretti for his own death. Concerns were expressed on the gamefound page in a very respectful way about the dice tower relationship with Sam. It was the second most thumbed discussion for the whole project despite being there less than a day. Overnight without explanation it was deleted. There have been other posters commenting about deletions who followed the project closer. They had the same approach during the ace of spades controversy (deleting everything without any acknowledgement)
Sam Healey once again failing a basic character test. He's an absolute millstone around the Dice Towers neck. I wonder if Tom will actually say anything about this or just keep pretending that politics don't matter in the USA these days.
Absolute love to @ducdevinny.bsky.social for drawing two characters for me. I implore those who love history to follow their account.
Pencil Drawings of Ice victims Renee Good and Alex Pretti who were both killed for no reason but cowardice. The text reads "INNOCENTS MURDERED BY COWARDS"
Renee Good and Alex Pretti were executed by the state. #AbolishIce #MeltIce
Oh, so nothing has changed then? I appreciate the approach is take on Deary's Horrible History formula (this was way back in 1995) but lord am I still trying to straighten out the drivel we learnt. Wasn't until later in the final year of Secondary School the serious stuff and that was my choice.
A video of Alex Pretti reading out the final salute of an unnamed veteran he cared for until the end of his life in the ICU, posted to Facebook by his son.
The whole interview is worth it
Casually doing my nerdy cartoons and listening to my favourite history podcasts...but did I just hear @goingmedieval.bsky.social mildly simp over Disney's Anthro Robin Hood? #nojudgement
Inkulinati is on sale for a huge discount
This year I am going for the Kyle Ferrin style
I can’t let Trump’s latest comments go.
1/ Many of you know that I have been raising money for the Combat Stress charity for many years. I have seen and learned about the effects of war on men and women who may have survived physically, but who have been scarred psychologically, perhaps for life.

@dreadships.bsky.social - saw your post and immediately thought of this - (not sure if you have already covered it). Mark Steele's show drew my attention to it.

Recall going to this as soon as it was re-opened for the public - fascinating place.
A Very Civil Whist is @fredserval.bsky.social's take on the English Civil War and trick-taking. This one is excellent. My review: spacebiff.com/2026/01/09/a...
Just done a check. It is - I am from the UK so it was BBC for me :)

This is an amazing series about the Cold War. I think it was the same team that did World at War.
Also highly recommend 'Once Upon a Time in Northern Ireland' fantastic series.
