Works as a Board Game Designer (Whirling Witchcraft, Hungry Monkey, The Glorious Guilds of Buttonville, and Where is That?) and an Applied Nuclear Physicist.
I just updated two rooms in our apartment. One of the kids wanted a pistage coloured room. Another wanted an Aloe Vera coloured room. (Names given by paint vendor.)
It took me 4 days. (And the clean up remains.)

For a long time, I've seen games as the medium of systems, the best way to both convey and experience interacting forces that follow rules. Recently I've started to see the centrality of systems as a soft dividing line between two aspects of the tabletop hobby:

Hi all - got some bad news a few days ago. I'm going to be laid off from my board game designer role at the Uzzle at the end of the year.
I'm really proud of what the team and I accomplished over the last year. It was a great year of professional growth for me as a game designer...

This is a good thread. It highlights the difference of Heat and Temperature, in a way.
Temperature is a property of the material (sloppily explained as the movement of the atoms/molecules).
Heat is energy leaving or entering a body (either as radiation, via convection, or vi heat conduction).

Just because it's being passed around a lot: NO, data centers in space do NOT benefit from space being cold. Space is cold in the formal sense we use to define temperature. But it is very bad at cooling. What would you rather have to cool hot metal: a lukewarm water tub or a giant cold atmosphere?

I just read the rules for Railway Boom. And I’m so thrilled to try the game. It was a long time since I felt so eager to try out a new game!
