Just bought Dead Air (solo RPG book) at Forbidden Planet in Glasgow. Not often you get a game set in Strathclyde.

New and Improved #Introduction just for Beige.Party!
Hey there! I’m Petrichord (she/her). Please don’t call me Petri—it makes me think of the biology class I failed in college. I signed up for Mastodon back in 2018 but only recently started using it this past year, and then my instance (octodon.social) announced its shutdown so I've decided to migrate here to make new friends! Better late than never, right?
By day, I’m a marketer from New Jersey. By night, I’m a do-everything-else-to-stop-the-encroaching-feeling-of-doom-er. My distraction of choice is #Acting. I have a BFA in #MusicalTheatre performance, and I spend my free time working professionally and with community theatre companies. I sing, dance, act, choreograph, direct, and design costumes. I also run a shadowcast of The #RockyHorror Picture Show and have been a performer with the cast for over a decade.
Other things I’ll probably post about include #Burlesque, #Cosplay, #VideoGames (especially #Horror, #Mystery, and #RPGs), #TabletopGaming & #DnD (I used to be a DnD and Tabletop Gaming Streamer for a pretty big company though I don't do that anymore), #BoardGames, and #Books.
Fun facts: I’m an award-winning writer, but executive dysfunction usually wins, so long posts are rare victories. I’m #ActuallyAutistic and have #ADHD, which means I’m very socially awkward, so chaos comes naturally.
I love Porgs, glitter, and indie perfumes. Eat the rich. Let’s be friends.
1991 TV ad for HeroQuest.
I have a dim memory of seeing that on Germam kids' tv as well

Our first "head to head" board game night in a long time. We played Hive, Agropolis (from buttonshy) and Onitami. I bought Hive, Onitami many, many years ago - hive is the original wooden pieces. We don't play against each other very often. I can't win against her... (sometimes in Hive, I can).
Onitama is a favorite, though we haven't played it in at least 8 years or so. The "shared" moves give an added layer to it!
Tuesday night #boardgames and #craftbeer with the #VCSB in #thousandoaks
A not so rare thing happened while I taught the #MartinWallace designed #boardgame AuZtralia. I got a rule wrong Oops. Yes it happens. It didn't break the game too much. I made up for my error by correcting another game teacher's rules errors. Twice
Rules mistakes happen folks. Fix it the best that you can and move on.
Oooh, very niche interest, but: Littledog Games is going to be publishing “Dino Trix” in 2025, which will be a Dino themed Tarot deck as well as rules for three of Daniel Kemel’s Tarot games, which I haven’t played but have heard good things about. Tarot decks that are optimized for playing rather than divination are hard to get outside of Europe, so this is a nice opportunity potentially for a general purpose (and cute Sai Beppu art) tarot deck #Boardgames #PlayingCards
I've been trying Castles of Burgundy on BGA a little and it seems okay, but it requires knowing so many fiddly things about the pieces and the scorekeeping is complicated, so I don't know how I feel about ever playing it in person. I can see the appeal though, there's definitely a type of person who would dig it. #boardgames
On Tuesday, I took my ferrets to the vet, then playtested a new design for the first time.
It’s been a few years since I’ve been able to say that.

#boardgames folks, what causes rage quits in your family? For us it's Catan. We remain perfectly civilised thru chess, monopoly, scrabble, Wingspan, Terraforming Mars... But Catan brings out the tableflip.
Not me. This time.
We played flamecraft tonight for the first time. very nice game. Not just because the artwork is gorgeous but I also enjoyed the gameplay. Its one of those games that look a lot more complicated than they are. I like how not aggressive it is and I became 2nd, too!
