Happy to be of service.

ROOT JAPAN CHAMPIONSHIP 2026 has concluded!

A magical time for everyone.
My heart is so full. It was an absolute honor to host this incredible game in Japan. I’d love to do it all over again!

Thank you, @leder.games

(P.S. Unlike the Japanese habit of hiding faces in photos, mine is out there! 😂)

For those who observe, don't forget to set your clocks AHEAD one hour before bed tonight! Time to #SpringForward!

Finally finished the fan animation for ROOT by @leder.games ive been working on for fun! ROOT is easily one of my favourite board games and its a dream of mine to be part of an animated series for it. Also a good excuse to learn how to usr @procreate.com dreams!

Hope you guys dig it :)

My top anticipated boardgames of 2026 I have already shared my most anticipated wargames of 2026; now it is time to turn to a more general board game wish list. These titles will appeal to a much broader audience than hardcore grognard…

Unlike how it may appear, I am not only playing wargames :) There are some cool, more general boardgames I am awaiting this year - below some of my types. Enjoy!

Rowdy game of Root tonight, still one of the all time greats. It’s always tough to teach friends new factions when you know the game, but fortunately Steve and Natalie are amazing sports to deal with the overhead and deal with my Lord of the Hundreds bullshit. @leder.games

Liz and Anne sort through a pallet bin of apples, selecting which can move ahead in processing

Some final numbers! Our group packed 350 boxes of apples and 667 bags of cereal. That's 14,586 pounds: nearly 14000 meals!

The studio is closed today in observance of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. On this National Day of Service we encourage everyone to volunteer with community organizations near you. We spent a couple hours supporting Second Harvest Heartland and had a great time!

My Favorite Board Game Company is Changing ... YouTube video by Lord of the Board

Got to discuss the big news regarding @leder.games and @buriedgiantstudios.bsky.social !

A really amazing opportunity for me to have 2 companies bringing about my favorite type of games.

My Favorite Board Game Company is Changing ...

I am really excited for Cole and Kyle to be branching out this way. I have nothing but admiration for the skill and craft they bring to the field. I believe this change will best serve the audience of Oath and Arcs. I am excited to see what both organizations can accomplish. Good luck Cole and Kyle.

Congrats to Cole and Kyle on their new adventure! We know Oath and Arcs are going to be well taken care of. Excited for what's next. 💖
