Been loaded up by work, but I still exist! These kids ain't gonna make games themselves. (well a few of them might)

Also just got in @themonstersknow.com 's new book.

Well, the #gdc proposals are as done as I have bandwidth to do before football season kicks off. #udl in Game Dev Education and a #k12 Game Dev Education Roundtable, which has been sorely needed for years.

Had an amazing test session with the crew for my new #ttrpg Twenty Flights.

The crew of Gnomes successfully bombed the target, but never got back home as flak ripped through the bomber.

We mourned over some #bbq pork ribs, as is customary. No better way to cap off a long test session.

This week I finally hit the button and launched my new ashcan for Twenty Flights.

A game about Broken Gnomes flying Dieselpunk Bombers.

I'm very proud of the system as it's pretty different from what I've done before, excited to get feedback and start revision

#WIPwednesday.

I am almost ready to release the ashcan for my new #ttrpg project Twenty Flights, a Game about dieselpunk bombing missions and the broken gnomes that volunteer to fly them.

But I am really working on a proposal for a GDC talk about instructional design for Game Dev Classes.

At GDC this year, I heard about this new experimental game development idea. You talk about your game before you release it. Even before you are done with it. Crazy I know, but I love a good experiment.

So here is the a cover for my new #ttrpg project for #WIPwednesday.
