In this week's video I reflect on the last 5 years of being a full time game designer, how I made the decision to go full time, and the various pros and cons of that career choice! youtu.be/1G_jXgo7CKQ Thanks to @eanderssonsunden.bsky.social and @connievdc.bsky.social for inspiration :) 🎲✂️

Fantastic to see a new episode from this series. ❤️ #space #history
The Space Above Us@thespaceabove.us · 4d agoNew episode! The ISS is growing so much that soon the shuttle arm won’t be able to help attach new modules. So let’s give the ISS an arm of its own! We’ll also wonder just what's up with the C&C computers, and try to blink our way through our problems. Show notes: thespaceabove.us/episodes/ep1...

I have just 32 copies remaining after last night!! If you want a copy while here at Gen Con, lmk!! Thank you everyone who came out and supported the indie market!
If you're in Durham, check out Future Hooman! It was so much fun!

The Avatar Aang movie should've been in theaters. What a gorgeous spectacle.
GenCon announcements! Downtown, designed by Robert Hovakimyan, coming soon from @bitewinggames.bsky.social. A tile-laying, bag-building competitive town builder for 1-4 players.
