I ate a pancake today. Much better than my pills and jello diet of the last week.

"WRLD is awesome. Easily the best new game I've played at the con."

"I want WRLD on my shelf right now!"

"WRLD is f*cking amazing. Buy it."

Just some nice things I've seen people say online about playing WRLD at Gen Con. I'm celebrating with pizza tonight, haha.

Bye, bye, Spotify. Hello... Apple Music? Deezer? Tidal? What's everyone using these days?

If you're headed to Gen Con, make sure to play a demo of my next game, WRLD! I think you can play it in Hall B. I unfortunately won't be there, so you'll have to tell me what you thought! boardgamegeek.com/boardgame/44...

A little late to the party, but I started listening to Turnstile and now I can't stop.

Today's my last day as design lead at Wyrd. A lot of emotions, but I am so thankful for the experience, the games I was able to make, and for the community that welcomed me with open arms. Next time you see me, I'll be on the other side as a fan. But for now, it's time to brave what comes next.

I'm just a big ball of emotions today.

Haven't been sleeping well the last few nights. It is a scary time for those who just want to make fun analog things.

Day 4 on the road to recovery from con flu. If it wasn’t for all the muscles in my body feeling like they’ve been lit on fire, I’d say I’m starting to feel better.

Excited to finally be able to talk about WRLD, my next game! Build the WRLD that will get you the most points for each environment by stacking, tilting, and moving cubes on a shared grid. Coming out later this year!
