Cats Knocking Things Off Ledges by @senfoonglim.bsky.social and David Killing has become one of the games most loved by family and friends. I find it hilarious and well designed, with very good materials - and I guess people really want to feel like cats 😅 boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/45...

🎲✂️ Tonight at 9PM ET (UTC-5), @senfoonglim.bsky.social and Hafiz talk with @spizelo.bsky.social about how games and the science of modeling has impacted the world we live in. It’s going to be fascinating! Come join in the chat youtube.com/MeepleSyrup or facebook.com/MeepleSyrup!

Ludology: Pros and Cons Ep 19

Erica is just getting back from Japan and Sen is in Montreal for FLIM, so we're going to drop an interview from last year's inaugural Festival Ludique International de Montreal in which Sen speaks wit...

At Juste Pour Rire for a free comedy concert… with Weird Al as the headliner! Amazing! Here are the only (horrible) pics I will share as I am now going to enjoy the show lol!

Thomas Dagenais-Lespérance (Decrypto) and Maxime Tardif (Earth) meeting fans and signing autographs at FLIM.

Played a neat trick-taker by Laurence Paquette with art by @louardongames.bsky.social at FLIM - super interesting!

Games + Outdoors + French-Canadian Culture = Win Win Win

Apparently, FLIM is officially a big deal around here ;) pretty cool!

Also seen at DeSerres: things that make me happy (other than my stationery fetish):

Went to DeSerres and got not one but two replacement notebooks - one with graph paper and the other with dots because I’m a game designer, dammit! Also, replaced my old Sakura Pigma microliners with a set that has a mechanical pencil because I’m bougie (and maybe a little masochistic) like that.

Wandering around the Latin Quarter - there is some great street art in MTL. Not just graffiti, but sculpture too.

Wandering around beautiful Montreal eagerly awaiting FLIM’s opening. Stopped at a very old school Viet restaurant for cà phê phin den phin dá (because I shouldn’t have condensed milk anymore) and proceeded to spill water on my design notes. Off to the stationary store, I guess.

Heading to Festival Ludique de Montreal but first I’ll stop in Kingston for So Very Wrong About Games convention! So much gaming going on this weekend! Recording interviews for @ludologypod.bsky.social

Look @gailsimone.bsky.social it’s the X symbol! To me, my X-men!

9 hours left on the #PsiRun2e kickstarter. $772 left to unlock the "More Money For Artists" stretch goal. That would be way cool to wake up to! Thanks to everyone who played it, backed it, shared it, talked about it; you've made this a blast. #pbta #ttrpg #dnd www.kickstarter.com/projects/117...

More to what I was talking about re: proper attribution. The @ttgda.bsky.social is working to reduce instances where publishers, media outlets, and content creators fail to acknowledge the creatives behind the games. irp.cdn-website.com/2b6905d0/fil...

✂️🎲 Big shout out to all the content creators and publishers in the hobby gaming space that attribute the designers and artists who worked on the games we love to play. I, for one, appreciate it.

Hello, friends! The Kickstarter campaign for OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE: BROKEN BLADE is still going, and we've hit a lot of stretch goals, which means that backers are getting a LOT of extras along with the graphic novel. Check it out! www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...

Let's start with this delightful game by @rpgroots.bsky.social co-host and absolutely wonderful person @senfoonglim.bsky.social. A game of cats and balance with three-dimensional platforms, feline mischief, and some of the cutest cat meeples I have ever seen. 🐈

At the Guelph Public Library today, peddling my wares for *very* good prices (because I can’t take anything but exact change). My booth skills are so rudimentary lol. I have no float, no tablecloth, an out-of-date banner… to quote Blanche, “I often rely on the kindness of strangers…” Drop by!

Public Domain Art is the lifeblood of small tabletop rpgs, but it can be a nightmare trying to find the right art and license. This week, I’ve re-uploaded my old list from 2020 (with updates) of public domain websites. That's 500,000+ public domain paintings, photos, maps, and film. Link below 🔗👇

✂️🎲 Sometimes, paper and pencil just works best. David Killing is great at turning our ideas into a physical reality. Sketches are often the between steps before he moves to CAD and then to fabrication.

Just ONE WEEK until the launch of the Kickstarter for OUTLAW'S APPRENTICE: BROKEN BLADE, the first graphic novel in my new Appalachian-inspired fantasy adventure series. You can follow the campaign now and get a heads-up when it launches so's not to miss out: www.kickstarter.com/projects/sch...
