between falling ill in June and July, being forced to turn down important commissions and getting hit with extra health bills, I'm not making ends meet this month (as it happened with the previous 2 months). I struggle to ask for help, so the best I can do is a sale. 👇

Not sure who here heard already, but Nic from IPR was in a really bad car crash two weeks ago, and his car is completely totaled. Anything you can give would be immensely appreciated, and even if you can't, please please please spread the word on this! www.gofundme.com/f/support-ni...

Thanks again, @ambierona.bsky.social, for playing Color Jam both solo and with your kid! I'm glad it hit when other games didn't -- so true for my family, too! (Reposting with screenshots this time) Please give Color Jam a follow here: www.kickstarter.com/projects/lun...

Board Game Blitz@boardgameblitz.bsky.social · last mo.

Color Jam (review copy from @lunarpunk.games ) is way more of a hit than I expected it to be! I played it with my 6yo kid the other day and today he wanted to play it with my husband and is teaching him! He hasn’t been enjoying many typical board games recently so this is the perfect game for him!

Do you like playing solo journaling games, and if so, would like the be one of the first people to play a new one I'm working on? I'm looking for playtesters for The Unease: In The Unease you describe the impact an artwork makes on you, how your obsession with it grows and how it changes you. 1/2

I’m looking for layout inspiration. What have been your favorite solo journaling games when focussing on layout? (The Unease needs to be something special layout wise: it’s about art)

a thing I've learned: people who vlog or blog about 'the perfect sourdough loaf' are full of shit, if you have done it a few times you really don't need any exact ratios, temperatures and time schedules, sure, it won't be a perfect loaf, but still better than storebought bread
