Hi. I’ve been away from social spaces the past year, making games in the quiet. Some kind folks in TTRPGs suggested I might find a home here. My newest game is about an amusement park that casts longer shadows than it should… I’d love for it to reach its people. www.kickstarter.com/projects/tur...

Ta-da, I released a game! It's an open play test of my next game Bizlandia, based on the fabulous game Questlandia. Do you like
1) dystopian corporate comedy?
2) reality tv shows like the Office?
3) worldbuilding games?
4) laughing your ass off?
Check it out!

Coming very soon, a free, open play test of a game I've been working on for over a year. Bizlandia: a cooperative, comedic business simulation based on Questlandia: Updated Edition by
Hannah Shaffer and Evan Rowland.
Stay Tuned!

This sounds like a very fruitful interview. Also sounds like good @plusoneexp.bsky.social content.
hey does anyone want to interview me (podcast, article, blog, stream) about When Crowdfunding Fails? i think it's a really important thing that happens that we never really talk about (because of the hype cycle) and i would like to turn our recent experience into something useful.

Everyone thinks it’s so fun and easy to be a game designer until you get to scheduling playtests and receiving feedback and integrating said feedback and then you’re on final_final_final_final prototype and a year later, the game is made and you’ve forgotten all the rules

I've been reading through Lamentations in the context of the present day Church and this scares me:
"Your prophets courted you with sweet talk.
    They didn’t face you with your sin so that you could repent.
    Their sermons were all wishful thinking, deceptive illusions."
I pray this isn't true

We gained some followers yesterday... but then we lost some, so we're back to $45 to get our first stretch goal (and just $1045 to our sponsorship for @symphonyhorror.bsky.social).
