Through a confluence of destiny, Overgrown’s Kickstarter overlapped with the first Systemic Kickstarter. Both volumes feature artwork by Overgrown’s artist @andyalvesart.bsky.social, and I would definitely recommend backing! I know I have! 💚

The Systemic Kickstarter is so close to $4K you can taste it!* Check out the campaign and get some incredible speculative fiction comics from some of your favorite indie creators--and maybe find a few new favorites while you're at it! www.kickstarter.com/projects/art...

Really glad that Connor is out making the case that not every design has to be an attempt at a best-seller. I'm also super excited to see how the board game design space is expanding in recent years thanks to things like the Indie Game Night Market.

I’ve been thinking a lot recently about how so much game design advice that’s available is really just business/product advice. It’s got a lot of survivorship bias and as a result, it’s homogenising and dissuading a lot of what’s possible. So…I’m making a little vlog series about it!

It’s been a minute since I played Everdell. It’s still one of my most admired game productions I used to be turned off by games with random markets, but my heart has been softened to their more easy going vibe It still feels bad to be waiting on a card you know exists and not receive it though 😅

Everdell set up on a table towards the end of the game. Both players have many buildings played in front of them

I don't have it in me to just be solely negative about something on the internet, so I'm doing a little compliment sandwich: - No Thanks! is one of my favorite pub games - The Magenta Edition of No Thanks! is a legibility nightmare - I love these little guys

The tokens from the magenta edition of No Thanks!; each token has a little unique smiley face on it

Super excited for the Future of Games expo in Olympia next weekend! Can't wait to meet more folks in the WA tabletop industry and check out some of the panels. Having the manufactured PPC of Overgrown to share while I'm there is definitely a bonus. Let me know if you're going to be there!

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve been to: Way too hard to pick a top 5, but… Ben Folds (both Five and solo) Anamanaguchi The Family Crest Polyphia Phish Also Happy Thanksgiving!

Introduce yourself with 5 concerts you’ve been to: I don't think I've been to a concert since my parents took me to The Kingston Trio when I was maybe 7? Music does nothing for me. Like, it's just repetitive monologues with extra steps. Maybe not the point of this exercise, but that's me!

I’m incredibly grateful to the employees at Kickstarter for creating and maintaining a platform that has allowed so many great games (including Overgrown!) to exist. It’s always disappointing to hear when a company starts taking its employees for granted.

I managed to get our group together for a session of 7th Citadel. At this rate we'll finish in 2035, which is a shame because I end every session freshly impressed with how good of a storytelling game it is, and how well it incorporates the exploration and survival mechanics into the narrative 😲

Extremely disappointed in CGE for this. Galaxy Trucker is one of the games that got me into modern board games. Also, these brand-centered editions of party games are always terrible and you should not buy them even when they aren’t funneling money directly to a one woman anti-trans Super PAC.

More and more content creators, game designers, and game purchasers are making a pledge not to buy from, pitch, or promote CGE or their games for the foreseeable future. Until they release a more meaningful statement where they pledge to make things right. Join us however is applicable to you.

Hey, tabletop folk. I know lots of you struggle with self-promotion, so let me help! Are you working on something cool? Do you provide services? Created a good video/podcast/article? Taken an ace photo? Run an event? Post below, and let's get a self-promotion mega thread going!

Our first video for 🌿Overgrown🌿 is complete! We figured we’d start with a short and sweet overview before getting to the longer videos. I’m happy with the way it turned out, but definitely want to keep improving as we work our way towards the Kickstarter campaign video!

I was lucky enough to meet @giaco.bsky.social from @techraptor.net at PAX U and demo Overgrown to him. It was nice getting to talk to him about the game, and it’s surreal to see Overgrown mentioned alongside games that I’m personally looking forward to. techraptor.net/tabletop/fea...
