The world's first and only not-for-profit game publisher. We use our proceeds to fund scholarships for prospective teachers. Opinions expressed are the views of the Foundation. www.dietzfoundation.org
I think this is also helps the admin-teacher relationship. The principal knows *EXACTLY* what those groups of kids are like.
We need more principals like this.
#education #teaching
I found out about a principal who makes sure that if a sub teacher is needed...he becomes the sub. He does this so that he learns student names/faces--and that they see he's a teacher, too--not just a guy in an office.
How many admins do stuff like this? (Not enough)
Just some of the cardboard cartons that showed up 45 minutes ago...I wonder what could be in them??
Coincidentally--we'll start shipping Gallipoli: Ordered to Die to backers tomorrow!
#boardgames #kickstarter #WorldWarOne
Important image...because it means this is in the hands of the factory...which means the first steps out of pre-production are underway!
Hey! Wanna play some #Cthulhu? Two openings. It's $5/session--but *ALL* of that money is going straight to our scholarship fund!!! No experience necessary!!

We have a new #newsletter that'll be sent on Friday. If you are interested in #games --why not sign up at dietzfoundation.org?
We don't spam--we've never sent more than three/month at any point!!
If you are a #USMC or US #military unit, we'll extend the sale to bulk orders while the sale is going on!
We have a Littoral Commander newsletter going out tonight. You can sign up for all our newsletters on our website!
This one includes news on Australia AND Space Force!
The next newsletter will come on December 26...that'll be our end-of-year deal!
Gallipoli: Ordered to Die is proceeding. Was able to start getting the specs for shipping today. Not ready yet--but that's the next step!
#boardgames #Australia #education
Littoral Commander: Space Force will be available for pre-donation starting mid-January. The images are Mars and Moscow, two of *EIGHT* maps in the game (they'll all be done in the Mars map's style).
Are you signed up for our newsletter? That way you won't miss anything!

Next Foundation news update will go out this weekend (NOV 1).
You can sign up for it at our website--and we don't spam. We only send stuff (roughly) once/month.
...sometimes twice if there's big or time-pressing stuff....
Yes--it is in the crowdfunding section. Once the game is physically available, the crowdfunding will disappear and the store will have it instead.
I'm not sure why you are getting this. I don't see anything within the website's guts--and we have orders that have come in. Perhaps simply go to the site and from there access Building Blocks?
98% now on #Kickstarter for our Academia #boardgame.
Today's update...finished art for some of the buildings:
www.kickstarter.com/projects/die...
2d or 3d edition 3R?
I didn't believe it initially, but yes--every building in Academia exists on an American college campus.
#boardgames #kickstarter #collegelife

Academia is at 85% on #Kickstarter. Check it out--see if you can build America's greatest #college! You can even play it live on TTS with the designer. (If you don't have a group near you--the game DOES have solo play, too!)

THEORETICALLY, Chicago '68 will be here any day now.
It is DEFINITELY in Chicago...just a question of logistics...
Travel’s keep me busy but I’ll be doing more quick looks at my #ManeuverWarfare #cardgame #wargame in the coming days as it gets ready to leave the factory. ICYMI #1–game overview:

Dear @thenba.space --want to solve issues like too many 3s?
Why not change the game's dimensions? Increase court length and width 15%? Raise the rim a foot, too.
Dimensions are the same as 100 years ago--people are bigger/stronger/faster.

(should do this for all sports...)
