I might do a mailbag episode of the Draknek & Friends podcast to fill a gap in the schedule while Syrenne takes a vacation - anyone have any questions they want answered on a podcast? Bonus if you send it as a voice recording to hello@draknek.org!

Since this is doing the rounds again it was very nice to be interviewed by @jamestaustin.com for Wirecutter. I need no excuse to talk about tabletop puzzle games 🥰

We've started posting in our new Wax Heads discord, which is perfect because it gives me the opportunity to start sharing ridiculous things like my 100 song long inspiration playlist for the game 😂

For those curious, the discord link is here: discord.gg/WAKBns3K 👀🔥

I went to a Halloween party in which they'd designed a whole escape room featuring a very cool Golden Idol, and using it you could move an object several buildings away and watch it through binoculars. I have the coolest friends 😱

I gave a lecture on Puzzle Game Design at the University of Staffordshire this morning and it was 10/10. Very professional. Only swore twice.

I am once again piloting the UCS Havock for spooky season and nobody, not ghost ships, terrifying rogue AI, or zombies can stop me... Probably.

If you needed another reason to buy this, the zombies say "traaains" instead of "braaains"

TERPECA season will be ending imminently so if you've played more than 100 escape rooms u better sign up to be a voter or else 🙂
TERPECA season is officially here which means I'm going to be talking about escape rooms a little more than usual (which is a lot already ok). It's like the Oscars for escape rooms and if you've played more than 100 rooms you can contribute!
