I am Jennifer. I hate Nazis, I teach kids using games, and sometimes I talk about that in front of big groups of nerds. It's pretty sweet. Also proud founding member of the Gaming the System(s) Educational Collaborative.

Teaching middle school the day after PaxU was certainly a choice that I made. Everything. Hurts. So. Bad.

Exeunt Press 💀🎲@exeunt.press · last yr.How should you prepare for pitching your board game at Feedback Frenzy? I'm back from #Unpub and distilled my notes into 10 tips for making your pitch as good as it can be. If I were to pitch a game, this is the checklist I would use to prepare: www.skeletoncodemachine.com/p/how-to-pit...

I participated in a panel discussion on how to help break screen dependency in young people. We focused a lot of our attention on introducing analog in-person activities that promote imaginative play. At least two people cheered when I mentioned TTRPGs.
I really enjoyed Wicked & Dune Part Two.
I am not sure if I enjoy #wrestling, or if I just enjoy being on social media when other people are enjoying wrestling.
If you're at #gamaexpo and looking for great games that you may not have heard of that would rule for schools and library programs- go no further than The Vibe by @jacobjaskov.bsky.social at Uloomi games, and Hasty Baker & House Hounds by GoChuckle (not on bsky). Strongly recommend both!
