I’d love to know more about the co-op city builder. Do players control separate zones? Or maybe separate responsibilities? Just wondering how the co-op aspect works, essentially.

This year I want to be human. For me I think that will mean returning to poetry and other hobbies that aren’t also my career. It will mean finding the humanity in games I play and games I make. Treating my body and mind with respect and love. Growing friendships and appreciating neighbors. (2/2)

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

Yep I agree with all that. I was a little heartbroken when the board game was announced while our game was in development (although we did end up finishing first by quite a bit), but it turned out that both games became different (and awesome! in my biased opinion) things

Great podcast! Just as an FYI about the origin of Paperback Adventures: it was definitely inspired by StS, but it was meant to be a Paperback game from the start. Though as you noted, there were some convergent design decisions with StS: tBG, like the way cards upgrade, which is cool!

Loved hearing Daniel’s thoughts on Paperback Adventures, and it was a fun podcast overall. I loved the variety of the topics covered.
Our latest episode has landed to help get you through the holidays.
Mark wards spells in the cozy action RPG Silent Hope and Daniel spells words in the deck-builder Paperback Adventures. Plus Phantasy Star IV, the latest game announcements, demos and more.
