I'm realizing that a lot of the folks I followed on Twitter I'd actually met at game conventions, etc. I'm still not sure how I'm going to end up using this account, but I thought a proper hello might be in order.
Hi! I'm Mike, a tabletop game designer and developer (mostly solo).

Tabletop gaming is a big part of who I am, and the source of many of my best friendships. The tariff news has me heartbroken, and that's just the one industry I'm personally affected by. I can't believe the speed at which he's destroying people's lives.
It's hard to function.

In an attempt to share some joy, what was something good about your weekend?
We had a leaky sink (not a great start) and my daughter went into full fix-it mode. She found the leak, we went to buy the replacement faucet together, and I walked her through the install. She was super excited.
