Top News Stories
IEEPA tariffs struck down as illegal: In big news for American consumers as well as gamers, the US Supreme Court handed down a 6-3 decision that President Trump’s use of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA) to levy tariffs was unlawful. Trump immediately lashed out with an executive order using Section 122 of the Trade Act to impose 10% tariffs worldwide, but 10% is lower than essentially all of the tariff rates from IEEPA and is also capped at 150 days. The dust is still settling (and refunds are, while legally entitled, going to be hard to get), but this is a win for anyone faced with importing goods from abroad.
From the Archives
On this day eight years ago, we were talking about the end of the world in an, er, more fun context than national news. From the archives this week is Level One Wonk: Post-Apocalypse, a whirlwind tour around themes and useful mechanics for the genre.
Discussion of the Week
Two of my players just broke up: While extreme, the OP here reminds us that scheduling continues to be the beast with the highest challenge rating of them all. There is among the responses the secret I’ve used to keep a group going for over two decades: “Play with whoever shows up. All the time, every time.”
