Could you just roll up to PAX West with your prototype, join the open-play spaces, and find a steady flow of players? You’d need a PAX badge, of course. Are there Unpub events you can register for? 🎲✂️

Hey #GenCon help us out on our quest to 100 followers! We’re indie, we’re podcasting our journey, and our two-player game “cooks” (they say). Help us be seen with a repost, a heart, or a mention to a friend. 🎲✂️
Coming soon: Under One Sky

“Nice game for just us. I would be backer #1.” Quotes from #GenCon 📝
Every board game should be as fun as watching Olivia Miles play basketball. 🏀
50% of board game design is laminating and cutting. I already know what half of you are doing today. 🎲✂️ #GenCon
Trying to land on a single question for the podcast that I can turn into a supercut from our Gen Con playtesting. Right now I'm leaning toward: "When did you have the most fun?" Any other ideas for a single question that uses positive framing?
Had an amazing time testing Playtest Parlor this evening! We answered the call for playtesters, played a game blind, shared our feedback, and met the designer. 🎲✂️ @thegamecrafter.bsky.social
So looking forward to seeing this crowdfund successfully after their visit to #GenCon this week. #boardgames KS: www.kickstarter.com/projects/the...

I want to give a shout-out to Rich, Will, and Mike from the Rochester, NY Game Designer Guild. The more we grow and expand together, the stronger all of our communities become. Maybe some of you are lurking here on Bluesky, and maybe others won't come across this for another two years. 🎲✂️
Learned about the history of handcrafted games at the Genesee Country Village & Museum. 🎲✂️
