Peanut!!! What did you do today?
CAT OWNERS-PLEASE READ
My cat, Peanut, has taken to drowning her toys. This morning I took a red pom pom out of her toy box. Tonight this is what her water dish looked like.
From now on, I will either give her natural toys or check each toy for colorfastness before I let her put it into her mouth.

I have a follower on FB who keeps sending me decades-old photos of myself with "Gorgeous" on there. It's kinda starting to creep me out.

My fellow board game designers will be pleased to know that according to Zip Recruiter the average salary for a board gamer designer is almost $150,000/year and the best place to be one is Sitka, Alaska.

Can't wait for the Rock Hard: 1977 expansion (due in 2026)? Want to rock out in the '80s? Check out Garage Rock by Nate Heater. Got a sneak peek at Dice Tower West and it looked pretty cool! www.youtube.com/watch?v=ecNT...
Garage Rock! ... coming soon to Kickstarter

If you can't get enough of board games, you probably have dirty dishes in your house. I know I do! Anyway, here's an excuse to put off cleaning for another few minutes. Or company while you clean!

Escape from the Aliens in Outer Space was the first game I ever played at a board game meetup. So, it’s a bit surreal to see Rock Hard: 1977 nipping at its heels on the BGG hotness.

Hanging with the finalists at the Rock Hard: 1977 championship at the World Series of Board Gaming. They were real rock stars, starting the game around 11 PM. Justin (lower left), the winner, even made it to the awards presentation at 8 AM. Congrats to them all.

If you are at the World Series of Board Games, I'll have two copies of the Jackie Fox promo card for Rock Hard: 1977 available after the awards presentation Sun morning for $250 each, cash, Venmo or PayPal. 100% of proceeds go to a 501(c)(3) charity for L.A. fire prevention and relief.

Hi, Bluesky! Did I ever mention that I love #boardgames and #cats? Though TBH, it is a bit hard to start up a board game when the cat is using your gaming table as a cat bed and she looks so happy.

I am always acutely aware that my artistic choices affect others.
Unfortunately, of late, publishers (my own included) are making choices that affect disadvantaged communities, not to mention their other artists. Publishers always need to ask who might be harmed. Don't go generic-just go kind.
