Some lovely friends (@robcramer.bsky.social and his wife) introduced me to the idea of a theme for the year, instead of resolutions. As I’ve been thinking about this next year, what I want to accomplish, and where I want my mind to be, I’ve settled on “Hello Human” as my 2026 theme (1/2)

Today @stonemaiergames.com did an unprecedented livestream where Jamey announced everything they will release in 2026. I am so excited to be able to talk about my two 2026 SM releases -- Wingspan Americas (with special hummingbird cards!) in Q1, and a small-box, standalone Wingspan game in Q3!

Seriously, @dvcgames.bsky.social has been releasing some great stuff, y’all.
For this, the third day of Best Week 2025, we're doing something peculiar by celebrating the best titles from a single publisher / design collective. That's right, it's DVC Games and Jasper Beatrix! Read the full list here: spacebiff.com/2025/12/28/b...

Quote this with what you have accomplished in 2025, no matter how big or small
Reading & writing has kept me alive this year.
Somehow, it’s been my most productive year as an author.
Here’s a guide to what I’ve published in 2025, in case you’ve lost track.

Game designers who "can't draw" but want art for prototypes... beyond the wealth of public domain stuff available (there's lots) there are artists who make stuff that's VERY affordable and Itch has a ton on sale right now. #NoGenAI

I agree with Suzanne. It’s been a weird year, but it’s been a huge lift to see all the excitement and interest as I walk around, attend panels, or chat at the Fowers booth.
#PAXUnplugged is my favorite US board game convention. It’s been a rough year for the industry and it’s bolstering to see the passion of the makers and the players here.
