@boardgamegeek.com For an award you say acknowledges artistry, why are you choosing to highlight a game:
- That uses AI art (which surely is anti-artistry if anything)
- Designed by a person whose transphobic views have no place in our industry (artist = artistry)

When a life guard told me “No throwing people in the pool” I asked if I could throw myself and he said “sure” and I immediately tossed myself rag doll at the bottom of the pool and tore my chin open and bled everywhere and still have a scar.
Smashed my face climbing a fence to reach an abandoned Boglin.
I once stabbed myself in the hand while making my son an “Evil Mr Spoon”.

Personal Demons is now 100% art and design complete! There’s still plenty of testing and balancing to do but this is a great step and it feels like a good stopping place for 2025! See you in 2026!

Fantastic video by Pam Walls on the increasing use of AI in board games, and the need (more than ever) to support artists, illustrators and graphic designers in the industry.

Good playtest yesterday, feel like I finally nailed the balance of difficulty to place vs value of card. Scores are still slightly higher than I’d like but I have some ideas how to correct.

First art-complete prototype of Personal Demons just finished! All the demon cards looks so cool together and I couldn’t even fit them all on a double table! Very excited to go into heavy balance playtesting with this!

AI use in creative professions is bad for humanity in all ways. There is no positive long-term outcome for anyone but the richest 1%. Resist! I have never and will never use AI in my work. I'm actually not quite sure if Chat GPT is an app or a website (or both?) and I've never bothered to find out.
