GAME DESIGNERS AT GEN CON: please join us tonight and help spread the word. 6pm downstairs at the JW. (It should be easy to pop up to the Indy game market - that starts at 7pm, 3rd floor. Both go til 10!)
Elizabeth Hargrave@elizhargrave.bsky.social · 2w agoSaturday 6pm - a creator meetup hosted by TTGDA. You DO NOT need to be a member to attend! Come network with other game designers and creatives. We have the room until 10 so bring a prototype to playtest. (Sorry this overlaps with the night market! We took the space at the time it was available!) 🧵
EXTENDED: Submissions are due by Friday, July 17 at 11:59PM ET #gencon #tabletop #gamedesign 🎲✂️

🎲✂️ I had like 5 minutes warning that I was going to introduce @connievdc.bsky.social but it was easy because she is a great designer, community builder, AND advice-giver. Advice 🧵:
