My sweetest niece Olivia, who has a rare genetic condition and complex medical needs, needs to urgently seek help at the Mayo Clinic. I share her gofundme campaign here. Thanks from my family if you can help. gofundme.com/f/help-olivia-g…

What an honour winning two pitch prizes for our project LEONARD COHEN: BEHIND THE IRON CURTAIN at @sunnysidedoc! A true honour from such a prestigious film and television market and with such strong projects in the competition. Coming to a screen near you soon! #SSD2025
Taking @SDHistCon on discord, and was a lucky volunteer player on @djackthompson and Trevor Benjamin's upcoming Rebels Against Rebellion. Yes, another winner! Coming to you from @MarkHoltWalker and flyingpiggames.com.

Last pic from @SDHistCon of @markherman54 and me playing Rebel Fury. A pic by @gzBlitz for my 84 year old dad, who learned the game as his first historical simulation.
This post is for @gzBlitz post @SDHistCon. You wondered about simple games to play with "nongaming" friends. Here's a game of Tussie Mussie from @buttonshy , an 18 card game played out on Coronado Island post-Con. Great little game by Wingspan designer @elizhargrave
Last day at @SDHistCon , and it was a good send off! Played Littoral Commander (Straits of Taiwan) with designer @SebastianBae in two teams. We won as team Red! Also played Undaunted Normandy with the talented designer @djackthompson . I got crushed... Everyone was so welcoming!
Another great day at @SDHistCon especially when you get to spend your day around @markherman54 and @colewehrle! Mark was gracious playing Rebel Fury with me, while Cole and Drew played Mark's Army of the Potomac next to us, followed by Cole teaching ARCS. What a game! And I won!
While my brother and I played wargames throughout the 1970s, my physician and historian father watched on amusedly. Well, at 84, he learned Rebel Fury today and wants his own copy! Will wonders never cease... He's getting me ready for @SDHistCon @markherman54 @gmtgames
It's a holiday on #PEI for these Torontonians. But still time for small games. I think @WatchItPlayed 's Rodney lives out here somewhere. We'll look for a sighting!
At the Puppet Museum in Lisbon @MuseuMarioneta, a wild and wonderful collection of how stories are brought to life around the world, including a little stop motion animation studio to make a little film yourself. Has @RealGDT written all over it!
