I have a few regrets that I didn't submit Last Call in Arkham to the Ennies this year because they now have a Solo Category! Even so, it would have been wicked hard competition in this field. These are all amazing games. I know my favorite, but which one is yours? Voting is now open! bit.ly/4wH1hyJ

What does the first version of a game actually look like? Not polished. Not playtested. Not even fully figured out. Just messy notes, strange ideas, and a willingness to start anyway. I’m sharing mine and why you should make yours: www.scrapyarngames.com/post/the-ugl...

Milestone hit: The Sylvan and Last Call In Arkham have sold enough copies to buy ISBN numbers! Am I still printing and assembling them in my mudroom? Absolutely. Did I need them? Maybe not, but it does feel like a level up. Get your own physical copy (now with barcodes) here: scrapyarngames.com

GAMA may be done but now the gaming begins! I'm super excited to dig into this haul that Brenden brought me and give these solo RPGs a try! Have you played any of these? Where should I start?

Heading to TotalCon (www.totalcon.com) this weekend? Stop by the Crossroad Games booth for physical copies of Last Call in Arkham and The Sylvan, now with their own sticker sets. If we sell out, I can upgrading these “artisanal” (read: "made in my mudroom") games with ISBNs!
