Hi All,I wanted to take a break from some of my regular content to chat about a different topic that comes up frequently in my house. What are some good board games that work well for two people or a small group? Mt wife enjoys board games a lot (so much so I have tried…

40k Stoat’s Center – Where Have all the Cheaters Gone?
Hi all,One of the most profound differences in the tournament community discourse in 2021 vs 2022 has been issues of cheating. 2021 was a rather bleak year marred with a number of high-profile scandals. I won’t dredge them up again but it seemed every event had some issue. As Fig. 1 shows this precipitous decline…
How To Herd The Cats To Your Tournament
This weekend I went to my FLGS to get in some games of 40k, and while I was there I had the absolute pleasure of watching an AoS GT being run by one of the community organizers. I had been to this Tournament Organizer’s (TO) events in the past and knew that they ran an…

New GW Strikes Again
Well GW’s response to the Votann crisis just dropped and ….it’s good? One of the things I found so striking about this new release was that it was: funny, clever thoughtful and addressed the issue. While newer players probably expect this it hasn’t always been this way. In part of their video there was a…
Is there a problem with how the ITC ranks us? | Grim After Dark
Look, we can’t all be best in tabletop or best in faction but with all the data slates and meta changes is someone’s ITC score in January worth the same as it is now? If we remember to get to it after the memes, we’ll definitely probably maybe talk about it.
