K , Project Good Apparel and the Evergreen Burrow are absolutely making my fit

The fuck my flight home from Gen Con was cancelled

Dude I have to do laundry already it's so fing hot.

I made it

Proof of Chicago

K so like, I did accidentally take the wrong bus this morning for a bit and then had to walk back a mile but luckily caught a hitch back to the terminal for most of it. But! I made it to Chicago!!

Shout-out to Allentown International airport for selling every inch of space to local businesses.

Update! I made it to Allentown PA airport and I'm in love. The prices are like.. reasonable? My flights on time? And I'm the only one at the bar. They also have a little free library!!!

K so I guess travel thread? Hi I'm T and I've traveled a lot, a lot of different ways, and I've had nearly every serious no-injuries related travel delay you can have. I'm currently stranded in Newark trying to get to Indy and the best United can do for me from here is a flight two days from now.

Update: I'm busing to Allentown to get out of the storm and then supposedly flights are fine.

Anyone else heading the Gen Con and trapped in Newark? Let's carpool and roadtrip.

And I'm happier and healthier than I've been in years 😊😊

Btws I quit HBG USA 😘 Last day is Thursday.

Oh yeah, I left Hachette back in April cause I didn't agree with their new direction. BUT the games coming out at Gen Con from them are still from my time there. The team and I particularly loved Omens.

I'll be at Gen Con! I'm mostly there to assist two of my clients, but I do have a small bit of availability if anyone wants to talk shop. Steve has decided my company should be "Mary Poppins of Sales & Marketing" but I'm lacking flying umbrella skills 🤣 DM if you wanna see if I can help!

Haha oops I fly Monday to Gen Con, not Tuesday. Sorry Steve and I's date night plans.

We've been playing games again. For fun. Shocker, I know This week it's been Jekyll & Hyde vs Scotland Yard, a co-op two player trick taker that makes me now want to murder Steve. (Yes I play Hyde, why do you ask?)

I am so happy right now, y'all. I'm working for a few different publishers, helping them with their business goals without worrying about politics and drama and nothing but THEIR goals and it's so fucking great.

it feels so strange to have a new game arrive to port and not rush to write a kickstarter update 🫠 p.s. a very big big sweet thank you to everyone who has preordered melted!! pinktigergames.com/products/mel...

It is garden time! I'm already having to harvest and freeze celery and chard. Every meal has lettuce right now. Still working through last year's canned/frozen tomatoes. This year I'm going to get me a jar of beans from my garden!

I'll do more thorough posts later but tldr is I was drowning at HBG. So I cut the line and swam to shore. All my friends are on shore. I am immediately happier

What if I got to play games, guy? Like every 3 years I drown or burn out and just play through my backlog for a couple of weeks to recharge

Btws I quit HBG USA 😘 Last day is Thursday.

I read 232 books in 2025. I tracked that instead of games because honestly, most all my plays were work related - for good or bad. I rated 45 of those books 5 stars. I read mostly fiction, but I like to do a few non-fiction books every month and I starred 6 of them 5 stars. Here's that list.

I think I've forgotten how to do social media.

Oo I just had a fun idea! I'm going to post a picture of a flower around my house every day for the next 20 days until the campaign starts. Here's a picture of a beautiful Clematis the other day.

Exciting news everyone! My next game is coming to Backerkit in a few weeks. Pressed is a long time coming since 2021 but it is finally here. If you love an interesting, beautiful card game, I think you will enjoy it. I would appreciate it if you gave it a follow. www.backerkit.com/call_to_acti...

And that was a wrap! See ya next time loves 😘

Thanks everyone that came to my Amazon talk! And for all the fantastic questions!!

K so I'd forgotten I hate making slide decks. If I just screenshot my Amazon Seller Central a bunch and slap them in a deck, will that work for my Monday presentation? Lol
