Part of the overall project with these systems in addition to eliminating critical thinking, is to water down anything transformative or radical.

I’m tracking the design of this game like Tommy Lee Jones in The Fugitive. I’m getting very close. It barely changed for its first year, but has taken so many twists and turns in the last few months.

But don’t these prototype tiles look cool?

I’m impressed by the conceptual energy at the DVC games booth at #PAXU. @pjparent.bsky.social this is the game I mentioned last night. #Corvids #crows

Finishing new prototype tiles for my (now partially) real-time, wizard, spell-casting game.. around the edges of #PAXU. It’s the requisite extra #stress.

So happy I found @gengelstein.bsky.social amazing lecture today at #PAXU plugged about his project to find and release the lost board game designed by Kurt Vonnegut in 1957. The game is real, gorgeous and is a Barnes & Nobles exclusive, with a 24pp booklet of the history and original docs.

Does anybody know of anybody selling a PAXU badge for Saturday, or 3-day? I had to wait to get passes for a personal reason now Sat is sold out 😢.

I’m excited by an idea I had - to make a photo book of images I took in 2024 that provide reference and inspiration for the sculpture on which I’m presently working. It’s not a family album or a wider collection of photos I like. Everything relates to work. The book is about 70 pages.

Trying 6 modules per card for my 18-card game Galaxy Hustle, an idea that was underlined at Metatopia.
