Been working on a game on the side lately and it’s shaping up really well. Almost ready for rules and then broader playtesting. Shout out to @alexknight.bsky.social for the nudge and @danbullock.bsky.social for the help!

Won my first solo game as the Armée Secrète (a great persona for beginners or designers who need to get good).

I’ve been working on some weird card game ideas lately. Here is one on the Viking Siege of Paris in 885. Idea is a deck of cards that has two different games that can be played using existing components from your collection.

Had a blast with the girls at Victory Point in Berkeley and picked up a weird new game for $10!

Th game Chants of Sennar is so wonderful. Playing on Switch, and absolutely loving it.

I just finished this book after about a week of reading (fast for me) and I loved it. Such a beautiful weird book. Highly recommend to anyone who loves animals and/or sci-fi.

I get what they were doing, but it’s really not great. Now this, I love.

Totally agree. These are my favorite sci fi troopers of all time.

The British Way from GMT has a better version of this for a two player game.

Had a fantastic time at SDHist Con East in Newport. Was great to meet up and play games. Now back to the real world!
