Asmodee to saddle over $920 million debt as parent company splits in 2025.

The company behind Catan and Ticket to Ride will take on some of the burden for its sister companies

Responsible for some of the best board games out there, Asmodee is one of those companies almost synonymous with board games today. Changes to it's parent company are likely to affect the board gaming industry in a big way. In particular, as the original announcement post back in April 2024 notes, Asmodee has arranged to burden a large chunk of debt Embracer Group had incurred from acquiring other companies.

Oh look Embracer is doing it again, they are unloading the debt they got from buying a bunch of game studios to the board game company Asmodee (Catan, Ticket to Ride, Carcassone, Pandemic etc).

Newcastle pubs ban AI art from breweries to protect local creatives As two pubs in Newcastle ban AI art, artists discuss the impact it can have on creatives.

"If I was to use ChatGPT for my designs rather than our designer Sean, that's taking money out of the local area into the hands of a multibillionaire ... removing value from the local community and local artists [and] into the hands of some of the richest people in the world."

This is excellent. Shit goes real hard (for American Football) in the last four mins.

LP3 is one of my favourite albums on the last ten years. At times it rivals LP1. A real bold statement I know!!!!

AEW chat time!

It’s pretty cool that Jon Moxley is back over with the crowd and has gone full babyface since he stopped trying to suffocate people with a plastic bag and just wrestle.

*This week’s Dynamite begins with Mox eating Mark Davis’s hand*

I don't think I've fully-liked a JM album since Never Hungover Again, but this one is real good!

It's personally not my favourite only because I think it loses what I love about Buscema but it was during such an intense run of the title. Interesting that Sienkiewicz was credited as "finished art" rather than inker.

When I think of the Hulk's face I think of Sal's rendition.

RIP to the beloved Sal Buscema. An artist I grew up with that I had more appreciation of the older I got. If you see his Spectacular Spider-man in the cheap bins, pick it up, you'll never be disappointed. Sharp, quick, angular, emotive cartooning. The bullpen's best.

If I see a Sal drawn Spectacular Spider-man in the cheap bins, I'll always pick it up. Doesn't matter what the issue is, it's always brilliant. I'll get rid of a lot of stuff before I part with my Sal Spideys.

Some housekeeping! I will be removing my Chloe Noonan: Monster Hunter PDFs from my Gumroad at the end of the year as I'm planning a crowdfunding campaign for a new print collection. If you've bought a copy you'll still be able to access the files via your library.
