+## Board games (TTRPGs page)
+
+The "Board games" section on the TTRPGs page reads from a JSON file and renders
+an interactive shelf: a list of games on the left, and a tall image on the
+right that cross-fades to a game's BGG cover when you hover its name. Clicking a
+name opens the game on BoardGameGeek.
+
+### The list — `src/data/boardgames.json`
+
+A flat JSON array. Each entry needs a `name` and a `bggId`; `note` and `image`
+are optional:
+
+```json
+[
+  { "name": "Wingspan", "bggId": 266192, "note": "Engine builder" },
+  { "name": "Brass: Birmingham", "bggId": 224517 }
+]
+```
+
+| Field | Type | Required | Notes |
+|---|---|---|---|
+| `name` | string | yes | Display label + link text |
+| `bggId` | number | yes | BoardGameGeek numeric id (from its URL) |
+| `note` | string | no | One-line caption shown under the name |
+| `image` | string | no | Cover path/URL; populated by the fetch tool |
+
+Find a game's `bggId` in its BoardGameGeek URL:
+`https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/<bggId>/<slug>`.
+
+The shelf photo at rest is `/images/ttrpg-boardgame-shelf.jpg` — drop a real
+photo of your shelf at that path. The image is a **progressive enhancement**:
+without JS the list still works (links + shelf photo); games without an `image`
+just keep the shelf photo on hover.
+
+### Fetching covers (BoardGameGeek)
+
+`scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs` fills in the `image` field for any game missing
+one, using BGG's public XML2 API (no key needed):
+
+```bash
+# Default: download covers to public/images/boardgames/<bggId>.jpg (recommended)
+node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs
+
+# Instead hotlink BGG's CDN URLs (no download, depends on their CDN)
+node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs --remote
+
+# Re-fetch even games that already have an image
+node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs --force
+
+# Slow down between BGG calls (they rate-limit; default 1200ms)
+node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs --sleep 2000
+```
+
+It's idempotent — run it again any time you add games to the JSON.

+/**
+ * fetch-bgg-covers.mjs
+ * ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
+ * Support tool for the Board games section on the TTRPGs page. For each game
+ * in src/data/boardgames.json that is missing an `image`, it looks the game up
+ * on the BoardGameGeek XML2 API (public, no key — just a User-Agent), and
+ * either:
+ *
+ *   (default) downloads the cover to public/images/boardgames/<bggId>.jpg and
+ *             writes the local public path back into the JSON, OR
+ *   --remote   writes BGG's remote cover URL straight into the JSON (hotlinked;
+ *               no download, but depends on BGG's CDN staying up).
+ *
+ * Idempotent: games that already have an `image` are skipped. Be gentle on BGG
+ * — they rate-limit, so there's a small delay between requests.
+ *
+ * USAGE
+ *   node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs                # download covers locally
+ *   node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs --remote       # hotlink BGG URLs instead
+ *   node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs --force        # re-fetch even if image set
+ *   node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs --sleep 1500   # ms between BGG calls
+ *   node scripts/fetch-bgg-covers.mjs --help
+ *
+ * Edit the list itself in src/data/boardgames.json:
+ *   { "name": "Wingspan", "bggId": 266192 }
+ * Find a game's bggId in its BoardGameGeek URL:
+ *   https://boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/<bggId>/<slug>

+          I also love board games, from strategy to social deduction. My
+          collection is growing, and I enjoy hosting game nights with friends. I
+          have a particular fondness for games that challenge players to think
+          critically and creatively, and I appreciate the social aspect of
+          gaming as much as the gameplay itself. Although, I do love the ability
+          to play some of the engine building and deck-building games solo.
+          Spirit Island and Wyrmspan have been my favorites lately, and I am
+          always on the lookout for new games to add to my collection.

+          I have played a few trading card games and collected many cards. I
+          have been a lifelong Pokémon and Magic: The Gathering fan, and I enjoy
+          the strategy and collection aspects of both games in different ways.
+          While I mostly enjoy looking at Pokemon cards, I spend most of my time
+          with Magic deck building and playing Elder Dragon Highlander (or
+          Commander). I recently picked up Riftbound and have had my eye on the
+          Gundam TCG game as well. The mechanical differences of these games are
+          fascinating, and I enjoy exploring the different strategies and
+          deck-building techniques that each game offers.
