The guys at @kinsonkeygames.bsky.social took some time out of their busy schedule of launching Galactic Cruises to support my humble little pipe-building game. Look how far we've come fellas!

All set up and ready to demo Twisted Trumpets at Essen! Come check it out at booth 5F115.

I'm looking for anyone interested in interviewing me about my upcoming game Twisted Trumpets which is being published by Play to Z Games and will be available to purchase at Essen and in retail shortly thereafter.

Having fun taking some shots of my upcoming game. I have one pre-production copy of it to do with what I want until it releases sometime this fall. What should I do with this guy besides admire it with the lens?

Love seeing the photos of #TwistedTrumpets being demoed at #Gencon this weekend! I couldn't be there, so I'm living vicariously through your photos. If you see it, snap a photo for me!

It's starting to feel real!

Tied for first place in the ProtoTank event at #tantrumcon!

Got some great feedback on Djembe and I look forward to heading that advice to take the game to the next level!

Prepping Djembe to pitch at the ProtoTank event at #tantrumcon. Wish me luck!

Kicked off #tantrumcon with "Jesus Take the Wheel" and "Casino Fromage", both great unpublished games looking for a good home.

Holiday games with the family included Only Murders in the Building, Middle Ages, and Wyrmspan. All were fun, though Wrysmpan was a little too complex for my parents to wrap their heads around, they were good sports about it as we helped them through their turns.

Artie and I are excited to dig into this new book!

Quite enjoyed my first play of HiFi. It's a puzzly game with a unique shared tableau and great table presence! #boardgames

RIP Jerry. Hopefully kitty heaven is full of nothing but board games you can sprawl across!

Thanks @amanpossessed.bsky.social for the great candid shot of folks playtesting Time Jam! It was great to see players so in love with the theme and invested in the mechanisms. If publishers can get over the connection to real-world music stars, I think this one has a good shot at going somewhere!

Finished up some quick and dirty sell sheets for my two closest-to-finished games and now to finish packing for my bright-and-early 7:30 AM train to Philly. #paxubound

Was literally crying laughing playtesting Red String Theory by @backwardscapgames.bsky.social, a cooperative word-association party game where the end result is a conspiracy-theory-esque cork board. So fun.

Say hello to Arturo "Artie" Rodela, aka Scruffy Muffin.
