I finally replaced the old, dull incandescent light bulbs over my gaming table with white LED bulbs, and the difference is like night and day. Literally. I can finally read rulebooks, counters and maps!!

I should've built this dev tool in Arete a long time ago. It's so much easier now to visualize and fine-tune the CPU's initial behavior. Each counter has an overall posture that can change based on the circumstances, but in some scenarios, like this one, I want to give them a starting "nudge".

UPDATE: Contrary to the FB post I shared earlier, Compleat Strategist confirmed that only the King of Prussia store will be closing. The NYC store will NOT be closing!!

Lock n’ Load put religious pamphlets in their game boxes? Probably most offensive thing I’ve ever seen in a hobby that’s sadly full of some incredibly offensive people.
That’s a hard pass for me.
Working on a scenario for the skirmish at Lyginus 335 BC. We have next to nothing about the conflict in the sources. Anything I do for this will be complete fiction (more than other battles I've included in Arete). Arrian gave a casualty count but we don't even know how many soldiers took part. 🧵 1/2

I just started playing The Lamps are Going Out. It’s an interesting game, though the combat seems too simplistic, especially at the start, depending purely on the luck of the dice.
