If I trick one more rock into thinking, I get a free lunch box!

Staff @ Unpub, make cool shit @ Legacy of Play.

Might actually have another good design idea, so tonight is everyone’s favorite game: Reorganize The Bits!

Has 1Password been getting slowly, consistently worse and worse for anyone else over the last few years?

Longer delays before anything happens. Login forms that are filled out incorrectly, or not at all. Or better yet, you hit that keybinding for "log me in"...and nothing.

Game designers: if you think your combat encounter needs more health drops, please eliminate every other option first.

(Trash goons with perfect aim in Echo Point Zero ruined that game. No amount of little blue hearts was going to save it.)

Wrong direction, IMO.

I ask designers at our events, “what do you hope to learn from this playtest?”

So, SO many designers aren’t ready to answer that question.
Hey Game Designers! What are good questions to ask playtesters? 🎲✂️

When I take notes, I'm usually observing the unspoken interactions and moods people have, but when it's time to ask questions I clam up and feel silly.

If you've ever admired the deck of cards I keep in my purse—or the uncut sheet in our dining room—this is the deck.

WARNING: Buy at least two.
If you're looking for a deck of River and Stone cards, Blue Highway Games ships them to the US! www.bluehighwaygames.com/card-deck-ri... If you're international it probably will be too expensive but you can DM me and I'll investigate.

My favorite part of being a judge for @unpub.bsky.social’s Feedback Frenzy was hearing Matt Leacock’s terrible pitch on the game Pandemic. Made me and the audience laugh so hard 😂

The best part of this generation of social media apps is their openness to new integrations. (I'll spare you the thesis.)

ACCESS to information from new tools is how we have always pushed tech forward. BlueSky will be no different.

(The other half of the thesis is SYNTAX...)

If you’re at BGGcon, don’t sleep on the TTGDA “Meet the Designer” talks!

Banana Ball is ridiculous, and we love it. Great work tonight, Clemson.

This is still true.

We're currently playing through the "Punished" act of the game, and the soundtrack makes the boss fights feel EPIC, without the usual orchestral or metal tropes and motifs.

And then they randomly come up on Spotify, and the head bobbing begins.
The Cult of the Lamb soundtrack did NOT need to go this hard. Completely unnecessary. Overkill.

Rude, honestly.

Well, this sucks. (American Edition.)

I support anyone who needs to take time to grieve and process, and I support anyone in circumstances that prevent them the time they want to grieve and process.

This 3d printer works harder for Halloween than any other time of year.

Anyone else's have the same seasonality?

Pro tip: if you’re having trouble remembering all of the things you need to do, try to take a nap.

This is MY periodic reminder, apparently, that a 30-minute rest magically converts a sticky, unworkable mess into something that can be kneaded into a silky, smooth ball.

It also works for bread dough.
