Much like when @ruelgaviola.com says that any day at the ballpark is a good day, any time talking to Ruel is a good time.

A delightful conversation, even if you’re not necessarily a baseball fan!

And for Ruel’s sake, I’ll be cheering for the Dodgers this series.
Just in time for the World Series! Made a guest appearance on @intertextuality.bsky.social to talk baseball, baseball board games, and, of course, the reigning and defending MLB champion Los Angeles Dodgers. Now available everywhere! #boardgames #dodgers #podcasts

Not a critic and haven’t touched these games in any capacity (so check out @danthurot.bsky.social’s words on this matter), but it should be pretty obvious how much I’m into @dnlnwmn.bsky.social’s aesthetic and independent production with New Mill. The set of reviews and everything you can visually
Lovely reviews of the latest New Mill offerings! Available for preorder RIGHT NOW from newmillindustries.com

Back to school with @petewiss.bsky.social

We put in some standardized test prep here.

All that work is paying off, as Pete's been making some awesome stuff—designing, developing, and podcasting.

I've been SMS (social media slacking) and didn't post my most recent interview, which is now over a couple weeks old!
Mr Ben of @travelgames.bsky.social joined Intertextual Experience to chat about quite the spectrum of different texts. It was great.

Random/late Gen Con posts incoming.
Was able to meet Chad of @25thcentury.games weeks after we chatted on the podcast: open.spotify.com/episode/0QkL...
It was really nice!
Also got to play some 25th Century gems. Hamster Roll not pictured, but Hamster Roll is always played.

The first IGNM was a highlight of my ~8/9 years in the "hobby" so far.

Bummed that I cannot make it to PAX U this year, especially because of this rocking group of games.

Shout out to all of the amazing designs/designers in here.
Shout out to @dnlnwmn.bsky.social for starting this event.
The vendors for the Indie Games Night Market have been selected and notified!

New Amabel videos are always drop everything and watch events for me—even if it takes me a day to watch..

Anyway, this was unsurprisingly great.

Need to play City of Six Moons and Kaiju Table Battles (was planning on playing by myself [one of the best rulebooks I've read too]) as soon as possible
New video essay! This time I'm joined by special guests @colewehrle.bsky.social , @xoe.gay , @jdragsky.bsky.social , Erin Escobedo, and @beyondsolitaire.bsky.social as I explore the impact of player counts & scaling on the types of experiences games create.

Have continually been taking running more seriously. While I know I’m not going to be turbo competitive anytime soon (or ever), it’s been the outlet I need. My goal was sneaking anywhere under 25–went out way too hard and was able to hold on. Just missed out medaling for age group 😂

Play a new game I picked up during the Steam Summer Sale or more Monster Train…

John Clowdus was the very first interviewee on my show, and if you've never played any of his games, you should definitely check them out.
Has been doing small independent card games for some time and partners with some great artists to make very unique games.

Click the quoted link and episode :)
quick note that games 4 and 5 in the very shiny and revamped Omen series are coming extremely soon:

We had games come in all shapes of boxes last year. 📦

From big pizza-style boxes to literal lunch baggies
@intertextuality.bsky.social

I dumpster-dived for my boxes! You can make it as expensive, cheap, or free as you want

You can use any materials to make a serviceable game for IGNM

Was about to put an earnest pause on some purchasing AND am still planning on making a custom version of this game (which I'm really excited about),
but I couldn't not get this one.
Either to keep or gift, this looks amazing!
Congratulations, @marcelineleiman.bsky.social !

You know when a whole bunch of games just happen to come in at once?
Well, that happens a little too frequently for me…
Anyway, today’s post is brought to you by a little @dnlnwmn.bsky.social x @saibep.bsky.social mashup
