Just a little over a week out from Game Market West! Getting all my duckies in formation… 🦆🎲✂️

The first PNW Tabletop Game Market was a success! Diva duckies danced home with a bunch of happy folks!

Excuse me my duckies are beautiful and perfect and not weird at all!

Excited to bring ODNLGIF to PaxU this fall! Hoping this silly little spatial puzzle game brings a lot of smiles and brain burn to the folks who can grab a copy! It’s your time to be a #DivaDucky! 🦆🪩💃🐥

I'm wildly excited to be selling my silly little two player ducky game (read: crunchy spacial puzzle game) at Pax West this year. What started as a bit at a white elephant party (the gift was simply too many little plastic duckies) has now been regifted into this adorable little ducky game. 🐥🎲✂️

Haha what a mess!

All packed and off to the airport for my first Unpub! Very excited to connect, play games, and dive even deeper into this special thing called game design! ✂️🎲🎲✂️

Prepping for Unpub! Bringing my co-op trick taker, Counterpoint, to run some spicy challenges, and a quick travel game about rubber duckies on a pond (maybe a bathtub?) ✂️🎲🎲✂️

More eggs this Sunday. Super soft scramble with thyme and some salted butter on sourdough.

Crushed it.

I used to post my cooking to one of those other sites, but in this—the year of our lord 2025—I’ll start sharing some highlights here.

Like my PICTURE PERFECT and DROOL WORTHY French omelette with tarragon! This was the perfect start to a Sunday!

🎲✂️ Spent sometime this evening playtesting with the nice folks over at @protospielo.bsky.social. Second time attending, first time bringing a game to play. It's always great fun to try out new games, yet it's been especially fun watching folks play Counterpoint digitally! 💛🎶

Received some mini duckies recently, so I decided to toss together prototype of a tile laying game about synchronized swimming ducks. Alpha tested yesterday. It worked, but needs a lot of changes. We will see where this one goes! 🎲✂️

Working title is “Okay duckies now let’s get in formation” 🐥🤣

Had a trick taking night with friends tonight and brought out the copy of Gachapon from @dnlnwmn.bsky.social I snagged at the indie night market last weekend. We loved this little game. So much fun. My friend immediately went online and bought himself a copy.

Ran the first test of a yet unnamed game last night. Excited to play around with this a little more at PaxU this weekend. 🎲✂️

Met up with some PDX based designers and got in a few 4 player playtests of Counterpoint! Lots of discussion at the end trying to figure out the puzzle and some good feedback on some of the new rules in the songbook! Makes me even more excited for PAX next week!

Made good progress on Counterpoint last night. Pulled together the first copy of the full scorebook. Excited to playtest this a bit over the weekend. On track to have a full color professional print ready for playtesting at PAXU next month. 🎲✂️

Working on a pitch deck for 10s Across The Board. Excited to share the game with the world!
