At @protocon-bc.bsky.social I met some game designers I’ve been following for some time. They were all as nice as you would hope they would be #pamwallsgamedesign @offthepagegames.bsky.social and #bellowsintent the best part of the con was hanging out with people who are excited about game design
At @protocon-bc.bsky.social I playtested War canoe and Feral Cat Furenzzi (not shown) and met up with fellow board game nerds @pemetawe_games and @eastern.woodland.art and Biz from UBC. And thank you to @ubccomicsstudies for sponsoring me!
Is this my first professional post on Blueksy? Maybe! But I am very happy to be representing @pemetawe.bsky.social at the Illuminate Play Conference. Truly an amazing event and I am grateful to be a small part of it.

Daniel Wynter@boardgamefeast.bsky.social · 9mo agoSigned up to my first game jam in 5 years. Going to try and convince my daughter to join me for a team submission.
Thank you @protocon-bc.bsky.social ! What a great weekend and a great first ProtoCon BC! Lots of great demos with lots of great people!
One of the games at @protocon-bc.bsky.social is designed by an 11 year old! Made sure to bring my daughter in time to playtest it, both to let her see the process and to show support. It's so fantastic to see such a diverse crowd.
