"LUX" by Rosalía has been on nonstop rotation for me over the last few days. Its ambition, scope, and execution is stunning. Pretty handedly the most beautiful album of 2025 and a must listen.

I'm feeling so good about my lil trick taker/shedder that I've decided to pitch it at #PAXU!
Oar Deal is a game about going on a canoeing trip and trying your best to not fall out of the canoe. It plays 3-5 players in about 25 mins with just 54 cards.
DMs open to anyone interested!

The Shut Up & Sit Down review of The Old Kings Crown is excellent. No surprises there.
But can we talk about the cameo appearance of High Tide by @marcelineleiman.bsky.social hiding on the bookshelf? Review incoming?

Once sentence. Six words. Three proper nouns, each one a plot twist.

Sometimes a rulebook read through is all you need to know a game is going to be special.
High Tide packs so much puzzle into a delightful and compact package. It's every bit as good as you've heard.

I love my current Kate Bush profile banner. It's been with me pretty much the entire time I put an ounce of effort into my Online Presence™.
But I passed this sign on the highway yesterday and I think this might be the new winner. What do we think?
(PS: I wasn't the one driving!)

What a day. How about a timeline cleanse?
According to the adoption paperwork from the shelter, my cat turned 20 today! He's almost definitely not that old but he's been in my life for 12 wild years.
Happy Birthday, Baran!

I just got out of another wonderful playtest of #SpellWeek!
There's so much I want to talk about, but for now I'll just reveal this fun little booklet that acts as your storyteller, game timer, onboarding, and upkeep tracker.
It's just a ton of fun!

I went through a similar process last year, so I feel your pain! It's a lot more work than dye, but I found I was able to control the color much better with two layers of spray primer, two layers of paint, and a layer of matte varnish.

2025 has been pretty garbage so far. If you're looking for things to enjoy, two excellent experimental pop albums have dropped in the last two weeks.
Ela Minus - DÍA
FKA Twigs - Eusexua
Highly recommended for fans of Björk, Fever Ray, and Kelela.

My sister got me this T-shirt from a pizza place we go to when I visit her and I just realized it pulls double duty as unofficial @hollandspiele.bsky.social merch.

It was a wild and chaotic #PAXU and I'm still processing it all. But an easy highlight I'm certain of was playing #PaxPenning with these wonderful people! Thank you so much @gregisonthego.bsky.social, @boardgamefeast.bsky.social, and @marcelineleiman.bsky.social for a truly special time! 💛

Looking forward to seeing you!

Looks like pinned posts are live now so how about a re-intro?
I'm David! I make non-violent tabletop games with unconventional and thematic player dynamics. My main two projects are "Spell Week" and "Tiers of Joy". Sometimes I do graphic design for Matilda Simonsson.

As a self-described potato chip connoisseur, I always love going to pay my respects at the lighthouse from the Cape Cod Potato Chip bag.
It also just happens to be an incredibly beautiful place!

I usually do my sell sheet renders using Adobe Dimension, but it has some limitations with complex geometry and decals.
The Tiers of Joy sell sheet called for new images, so what better opportunity than to jump back into into Blender and learn some new tricks! I'm really happy with these! 🎲✂️

I’m super excited to share that I’ve given Roux Mates a thematic overhaul! Brew Mates is a game about witches making potions, meeting new familiars, casting spells, and managing the coven. AND I’m bringing it to Origins for pitching and playtesting! 🎲✂️

Not trying to be a narc, but we're already here? Uploading published work you don't have rights for into Ch*GPT so it can design your game for you?
I'm sorry, but I'm not playtesting your game if this is your process. No one owes you feedback on something you didn't make.

Y'all asked for it so I'm taking a break from Unpub prep to deliver!
It's a tight squeeze, but Pax Penning officially fits on Letter and A4 paper. PnP files coming to an Internet near you soon!
