I was really inspired by seeing all the experimental, short run games at the PAX Unplugged Indie Games Night Market. So now I’m working on my own (probably unviable) concept: So… Who wants to talk about 🤖✨ ROBOTS ✨🦾 ?
Here’s my invite to play some new stuff. (I may have overdone it at the indie night games market.) www.newmillindustries.com/ignm #paxhaul
Whoa whoa, didn’t realize we were on the BGG front page! This is crazy! (Thanks @cityhare.studio for pointing it out!)
Watch me get thankful, recap Pax, & talk games from… youtu.be/-h5u2Ghv8tY?... @smirkanddagger.bsky.social @buttonshy.bsky.social @allplay.bsky.social @officedoggames.bsky.social @dvcgames.bsky.social @bbornmueller.bsky.social @marcelineleiman.bsky.social @vawcer.bsky.social @enzyshade.bsky.social
Thank you @gamingtrend.com for covering IGNM. The hobby needs more of these venues and I’m extremely grateful to PAX Unplugged @dnlnwmn.bsky.social and @marcelineleiman.bsky.social who made this happen.
PAX Unplugged’s 2025 Indie Games Night Market gamingtrend.com/editorials/p...
While thrifting on Black Friday, I came across a copy of Swoggle (an uncredited word game from the 1980’s) but held off because I’m eagerly waiting for my copy of Cross4 by @amabel.bsky.social . Also the Swoggle box was enormous.
(3) cross4 (2025, Holland) My throwback to the crossword dice games of the 1970s snagging the number three spot actually took me by surprise! When I do a little game like this I expect at most to sell a few copies to my fellow nerds. hollandspiele.com/products/cro...
If you told me a year ago my weird little abstract I fully expected to be one-and-done at Indie Game Night Market would have had this much success, I wouldn’t believe you!! I hope everyone sees this as a proof for indie game releases as a legitimate pipeline for both Hobby and Mass publishers!!!!!!
HUGE news update for me!!!!!! High Tide, the game I handmade for Indie Games Night Market 2024 and licensed to Underdog Games in 2025… ✨ Will be releasing at BARNES & NOBLE around March 2026!!! ✨ This marks my first design to reach big box retail stores!!!!! More details as they become available!
Indie Games Market last night was a rousing success!!!! WOW. I’m so impressed by all of the vendors organization and skill. I’m sure we’ll be able together get stats from the PAX team, but this year definitely felt way bigger 🧵 🎲✂️

Honored and tickled by Dan Thurot’s review of Rowin, to be sold at IGNM at Pax Unplugged. “There’s no small measure of hate-drafting...” “There’s the pleasant whiff of press-your-luck…” “It has that classic feel, like something you’d dredge out of an old monastery’s archives.” “I dig it.”
Rowin by @aveknots.bsky.social merges abstract determinism with chancy roll-a-thons, producing a lovely little game that's more than the sum of its parts. My review: spacebiff.com/2025/11/03/r...
This Indie & Local Tabletop Game Fair is fully operational NOW thru 5pm People's Book, Takoma Park MD
New preorders from New Mill coming on Wednesday, October 1! I'll go into a little detail about one each day for the next three days! Next up is RoboKraft designed by Thorsten Gimmler (No Thanks, Odin's Ravens) with art and graphic design by @thisnorthernboy.bsky.social
had our first new game release in months, and it's my crossword dice game cross4! I made it because I love the crossword dice games of the twentieth century, and wanted to make one with a little more arc and meat to it. 🧵
