Hello to all my trans friends and those friends I've yet to make. We see you!
Good people headed to the @unpub.org Festival this weekend, my Saturday is full but I've still got plenty of time available to schedule a playtest of your game and give you a consultation on a solo mode if needed. I just ask for a donation of any size to dravetfoundation.org. #GameDesign #BoardGames

Tabletop gaming is a big part of who I am, and the source of many of my best friendships. The tariff news has me heartbroken, and that's just the one industry I'm personally affected by. I can't believe the speed at which he's destroying people's lives. It's hard to function.
My favorite part of @425suzanne.bsky.social 's keynote speech at @unpub.bsky.social: “If you don't know what your goals are, you’ll never know when you're successful." Beautiful.
Me: Pack for Unpub My brain: No. Me: At least go to sleep early. My brain: No. Me: Surely I don't have to post this imaginary conversation? My brain: ...
It's beautiful outside, and my dog is playing his favorite game. It's called,"AAAAAAGGHH BIRDS I HATE YOU I HATE YOU WAIT WHERE ARE YOU GOING COME BACK."

Efka and Elaine approach game reviews in such a thoughtful and thorough way that I think all #boardgame designers and developers can benefit from watching them.
