My @nyugamecenter.bsky.social Game Design Days event is gonna be so much fun. Just finished outlining the playstorming plan, and we'll be writing TTRPGs that take inspiration from TV and video games (like the delightful @sccreatives.bsky.social game Campanions!)

Thanks for the boost, @goblinmixtape.bsky.social 🥰! We are really enjoying Pocketopia, and we can't wait to bring @natmesnard.bsky.social's Assemblage into the world!

Thanks, playtesters! It was a joy watching you build your sitcom world, fill it with zany shelter animals living their best lives together, and do stupid human tricks for treats. Miss the Kickstarter for Golden Good Girls? Pre-orders are now open: golden-good-girls.backerkit.com/hosted_preor...

In what feels like very serendipitous timing I just got my copy of Against the Gloom by @scryptidgames.bsky.social. Got to play this in a game run by Dustin at a local con. Very creative and collaborative game with a fun music playlist component. Looking forward to trying this one out again soon!

Golden Good Girls is live on Kickstarter! If a game that mashes up heartfelt sitcom nostalgia with goofy, snoot-booping hijinx is your kind of BS, this campaign is for you. www.kickstarter.com/projects/nat...

Want to collab? Let’s build a fantasy town floating in the void…

I still have two spots open on the Against the Gloom Kickstarter at the level where we create an anchora together based on a song you pick.

We have less than 48 hours left! Let’s rock!
