I’m playtesting a new game. Core concept: draw rooms in a space station and then draw little crew members to go in them. Other rules mostly superfluous.

Emissary will be at @officialpax.bsky.social #PaxUnplugged in Philly next weekend! Drop by the @sidequestbooks.bsky.social table in the PTI Lounge to grab a copy while supplies last! I can't wait to hear what 🪐 worlds and 👣 wanderers you all cook up. #DesignedintheDMV #storygame

I made digital download key bookmarks for physical copies of Emissary I’m selling locally. On the back I dropped 20 more Nonsense Words. That’s a 20% increase in nonsense words from base Emissary! Get yours this weekend at Game Kastle’s Goblin Market gamekastle.eventcalendarapp.com/u/46429/2o5l...

My haul from the @peoplesbooktakoma.com Indie Game Fair last weekend! I can’t wait to dig in.

Wonderful Indie Tabletop Fair today at @peoplesbooktakoma.com talking to people about Emissary and hearing some great speakers.

I finally finished @stickydoodler.bsky.social’s Bonsai Diary. Truly a mind-expanding experience to think forward six generations, especially in this moment that is so steeped in despair.

Come check out our little mini-convention with vendors, panels, and game demonstrations highlighting locally-designed tabletop roleplaying games!! There is so much creativity going on #DesignedInTheDMV

I’ve been toying with a room-by-room exploration game idea recently so of course I had to try out Moon Rings by @junkfoodgames.bsky.social! I loved my journey and the story that emerged. Shout out to the Madame Zostra figurine from Betrayal at House on the Hill for being my Witch.

For Emissary's BxW illustrations, the wonderful Nick Bosworth helped conjure the feeling of simultaneously *exploring* and *imagining* a world. His solid, anonymous figures interact with loose, sketchy environments that feel like they're still being drafted.

100 copies packed up and shipped to @ipr.bsky.social! I can’t wait for Emissary to reach retailers all over the country!

Packed Emissary demo night at @fantomcomics.bsky.social

I’m always a joyful bundle of nerves when people engage with something I wrote!

Love the Krilliage. Scared of the dark! 🥺 awesome #Emissary playtest at @fantomcomics.bsky.social

Welcome to Norb, a world with long days and nights, and brief habitable zones in between. Will the fragile balance between the Tilip Tal (dusk) and and Tal Tilip (dawn) survive?

Come play my world-building game Emissary at @fantomcomics.bsky.social on Monday, Feb 10! No time like the present to imagine better worlds/revolutions/other ways of living, right?
