I spend way too much money on board games, so I might as well talk about them on camera. Currently playing One Piece TCG. Anime fan, Star Wars fan, wrestling fan. Into way too many fandoms. I make a ton of references to things. So I hope you enjoy!
Note: there are a ton of amazing and well mannered designers and publishers in the board game space, but not every egg is a good one.
Some days, I wish there was an ounce of professionalism from some publishers/designers…

I’m autistic. Not because of Tylenol.
Not because of vaccines.
Not because of some headline.
I’m autistic because that’s how
my brain works. Stop treating us
like a problem. Start listening to us.

When Paizo unionized, I got a raise amounting to thousands of dollars. I also get a higher cost of living salary increase every year in addition to my seniority salary increase. I have incredible job security. I have advocates if I have grievances. Unionizing is hard and scary but so worth it.

A friendly reminder to anyone attending GenCon.
Don’t let Stone Cold Steve Austin be disappointed in you!

Me finalizing my schedule for GenCon.

I ask to a publisher:
“By the way, will you be at GenCon? I’d love to meet with you!”

Their response:
“Yeah, I’m tooootally good at scheduling convention meetings.”

Cool but you didn’t answer the question….

Dear people planning to attend GenCon, i will be selling deodorant and soap. Please be considerate of other people’s noses. Thank you.

I understand. Using a 3rd party to contact content creators to promote your tabletop game is easy. They got a list of people to contact. So I get it.

But I’m going to say no every time.

Please invest time into talking with content creators and building relationships with them.

I’ve spent too much time today arguing on Facebook about how the board game manufacturing industry doesn’t have child labor and companies actually pay their employees livable wages. Even after I said that I have been to China and experienced it myself firsthand. They are truly brainwashed.

Not that I despise my how-to-plays or unboxings; but the amount of time is significantly shorter and less stressful than trends or the silly-fun videos.
The never ending cycle of the Welcome2Boardom content…

-follower “you should do more content specifically talking about your board games”.

-puts more effort into how-to-plays, etc.

-posts content, gets less than 100 views, AND follower doesn’t see it

-I go back to posting what I post…

I always feel bad for asking favors from friends.

Like…hey your friendship is more valuable to me than anything in the world. Please don’t think that I’m exploiting you in any sort of way. I just need your help at the moment. I’m sorry for bothering you…just know I appreciate you…

Just a reminder…
I absolutely loathe Gen Con with a fiery passion…

One thing you gotta love about ai art is that it's gonna start learning off of other ai images eventually imploding ai art so it just becomes slop and people stop using it

GenCon will forever be my most hated convention.

As a tabletop game industry worker, it’s a nightmare for me to plan.

As a gamer, it seems fine. I doubt I’d enjoy it if went on my own decision and not for work.

I’m just venting because I’ve already started planning for it.
