"The train ride south buzzed with enthusiastic, non-Quiet Car chatter: someone lamenting their forgotten lucky D20; a hot take argument about octopus familiars; a long soliloquy titled 'The Three Perfect Story Arcs of Andor.'"
I wrote about my experience at #PaxUnplugged this year (including My Games of Note) at Turn Order/Goonhammer!

More from the article (where I dunk on the low-hanging fruit that is Cards Against Humanity):
"It’s safe to say that Cards Against Humanity is the Nickelback of party games. CAH has not aged well. It’s less of a party game, or even fun social experience, than it is a starter kit for encouraging unmoderated, toxic behavior that fosters abuse, harassment, racism, and sexism."
My subjective love for the new Blaseball tactical card game:
""I can only assess the Blaseball TCG by vibes. It’s celebratory in its non-conventionality. There’s nothing typical in it as a baseball sim, or conventional tactical card game. There are no straight lines. And based on card artwork, even with no explicit or implied sexual content, Blaseball: Wild Cards somehow felt to me like the thirstiest, queerest-on-main tactical card game since Phil Foglio’s XXXenophile."
