Would be very happy to never have to see Kim Davis's face ever again.

One of my very early designs. I always enjoyed the feel of it but it turned out there was a broken strategy. Most of my attempts to fix it would have required computer simulations so I never did anything else with it. But cool to see it still has a fan!
Rotationary by Dave Chalker is a nice light puzzle for a lazy afternoon. The goal, to rotate the pieces to point in the same direction. Each piece affects the the one it points to according to its pip value.

Something comfortingly familiar about this one😊

Don’t bring a knife to a gunfight. Don’t bring a tank, either (not fair).

As I once explained in my LiveJournal days:
* a 32-page Pathfinder adventure has 20,000 words.
* a 99.9% typo-free 32-page adventure would have 20 typos.
* that’s a typo every 1.5 pages.
* reducing that would delay every book a significant amount.
The truth about editing TTRPGs is that even the best books by the most experienced designers/developers contain way more errors than you think. Not because the creators are bad at their jobs—it just reflects the truly immense complexity of our books. To catch all those takes a huge amount of work!
