2/2 tonight I had a lovely compliment from a head of game development, who said my games stayed with them since playing yesterday. “How many games genuinely make you think differently about something?” #chuffed #boardgamedesign

1/2 When I or others describe my game as fashion it’s a shorthand but one that makes people think it’s not for them. Actually it’s a way to discuss what our clothes say about us & self-expression - which is the whole world… #boardgamedesign

Folks it pains me to ask so bluntly, but could anyone use some work doing by me? I've got to find income for three months until my next royalty payment, and I'm not having much luck.

After a long power cut last night (& no printer) I now have the fun of trying to finish my prototype on the train. Hopefully no one reports a “see it, say it, sort it” on my gigantic murderer scissors…
Oh the glamour & excitement of #boardgamedesign

Last night at D&D. Final battle. All but two of us making death saves.
The dwarf barbarian slams into the big bad from behind, knocking all 16 feet of it over, toppling it over toward the rogue, who has one chance to hit. He desperately holds up his dagger ... AND HE FUCKING CRITS IT IN THE EYE.

I believe board games are art.
I wonder if #boardgamedesign might be the worst paid arts profession, especially when considering the vast time spent designing / developing & the costs before any possible small return.

Board games are art. ETERNAL DECKS combines the ancient with the modern through design. It's a stunner; it's also a heck of a game. See for yourself.

Incredibly, people still take this bloke seriously when he tells them he'll be terraforming Mars by easter. He's an inveterate liar, a child.

A friend of mine just sent me a lengthy website design review while he was a bit stoned and honestly this is the correct way to do customer experience assessments.
Good design is easy to navigate even when you're a little crispy and peppering the email with "dude" softened some of the red ink.

Taking this pic from @peersylvester.bsky.social to highlight the Yotei team.
Not only did they use wood from their region for the components in the game. When we asked how they got the raised wooden floor in the hall they told us they just bought the wood and built it on the spot!
These guys rock.
