Thanks to everyone at PAX and @unpub.org that made my convention excellent.
I'm so glad I was able to catch up with so many of you. Quality time is so valuable, and I was lucky to be gifted yours!

She developed an assay that has been able to map out nearly EVERY point mutation in a gene that causes colorectal cancer. Her assay can predict, with 100% accuracy(!!!) if a particular mutation is pathogenic.
Crazy awesome.

In Daybreak, apparently it's possible to achieve drawdown in round 2 thanks to the Global Efficiency standards and some lucky draws!
@mattleacock.bsky.social during playtesting, I'm curious if anyone found a combo that triggers drawdown in round 1?

The current state of Facebook, in a nutshell. I block EVERY page that is "suggested" to me to follow.
This continued for two more full scrolls, with none of my -actually- followed pages and friends.

I mean, we would get eclipses if it were bigger, but it's neat that it overlaps -just- enough so we can see the entire corona.
Subnautica does a cool thing with its planets where you see an eclipse with a much larger body. Scared the heck out of me the first time it happened, haha.

Restickering my dividers for Marvel Champions. I forgot why I stopped designing big games.

Defenders of the Wild is a neat little design. Picked it up on a whim, but surprised me with its depth!

Finished up the updates to my 2-player card game that got tested and "finished" at Unpub. It is SINGING right now.
Any publishers interested in checking out a 51-card, 2-player, 10 minute heads-up card game. It was several folks "game of the con" at Unpub.
