Inspired by Nova knocking over my poor baby Christmas tree “Piney”, Scott Brady and I have designed a Christmas game about decorating your tree while your cats mess with the decorations. I’m excited to say we signed the game with Wacky Wizard 🎄

Spent hours worth of flying updating my podcast’s new social media banners. Managed to get most of them done minus the ones I needed internet to download the pictures. I can’t wait for the day when WiFi is free on all flights 🤞🏻

It was an honor to be asked onto the Community and Collaboration panel in London at the Play Creator Conference. Being able to open the Conference talking about what I’m most passionate about was amazing. Let’s continue to share resources and collaborate with other designers/publishers!

@thedarkimp.bsky.social did a great job interviewing me about the art of pitching tabletop games. I talk about my process, the essential skills designers need, and how to approach pitching materials. Enjoy!

Inspired by @elizhargrave.bsky.social’s “Designers who are Women & People of Marginalized Genders” BGG GeekList, I have created 7 GeekLists for LGBTQIA+ representation in tabletop games. Please add to it and share it as we get closer to Pride Month! 🥳🏳️🌈

Whoo! I can finally say I’ve played Castles of Burgundy. Granted I did the funniest mistake, forgot about the castle tiles 😅
I have no clue how I didn’t lose by more points 😂

Okay, the thing I love most about @th3rdworld.bsky.social game Charcuterie is that people immediately start showing pics of the most impressive charcuterie boards they’ve either made or eaten from and this one gets the gold star of excellence! Anyone else have any yummy charcuterie boards to share?!

I think what I found to be the most amusing part of @brotherwisegames.bsky.social Adulthood was getting a model as a girlfriend who then ghosted me due to not putting a 💍 on it so my group laughed until my new relationship was with a celebrity. I may have lost the game but I got the girl 💁♀️

So my cat Nova claimed the Big Potato Games plushy as her favorite toy that isn’t bottle caps. Does anyone else’s pets use your game merch as their own?

When I lived in the Chicago area I would spend 75-90min a day commuting to and from work. Now I get to work remote with my cats on my lap. There weren’t many highlights for 2020 but learning people could efficiently work from home remote was definitely one of them!

I turned @semicoop.bsky.social’s amazing Caution Signs comic strip into two matching prints. One for my wall and the other for my co-designer Scott for Christmas! Now it’s a permanent part of my apartment🎄🥰

I interviewed Mads Fløe about their co-design Shake that City. The draw of the game was a device that randomized how to drop out 9 different cubes in a 3×3 grid. These cubes worked to help you decide what tiles you could draft and place into your city!

I’ve had the same baby Christmas tree aka “Piney” since my college dorm room days and the girls love helping decorate it. Sansa especially loved the Dollar Tree bag that held the ornaments 😹
