14-pages into THE SAINT OF BRIGHT DOORS by @vajra.me and I’m already riveted.
Shameful that it took me so long to pull it off my “To Read” shelf.
(I’m so happy the brain worms are permitting me to read books again!)

Today I played @sunderfolk.com with my @fordham.edu Intro to Videogame Design class, to great success!
Dividing them into groups of 4 with 1 device each worked well. We talked about digital/analog affordances, the role of UI/graphics, stories in games AND had a nice break before midterm projects!

I was in the mood for a fluffy gay romance novel & quite enjoyed THE PROSPECTS by KT Hoffman!
Nicely written light read about gay, trans, baseball players!
Picked it up for free at a festival and honestly, it’s better than many books I’ve paid for!

Had a lovely time playing MAGNIFICO’S CIRCUS—the top-rated Escape Room in the world—with a bunch of queer game designer friends while in Montreal for @qgcon.bsky.social!
A really excellent experience full of delightful interactions, lovely scenic design, & genuinely cool characters.

The cool thing about being a game designer is that sometimes, underground, gay sex parties hire you to run kinky TTRPGs for them.
I’m also working on getting my game LEATHERBOUND to a publishable state!
